3d printing without basic cad skills is almost useless imo. I use freecad now but I've made tons of useful precision fit things using tinkercad.

Freecad is based. It feels like a superpower to be able to imagine relatively high precision parts and make them real in just a few hours. Tailored exactly to your project.

🤮 Freecad is a barely functioning mess, fusion360 is a professional level cad that's free for hobbiest and infinitely more usable.

I spend most of my day doing cad work, I can jump between Catia, NX, Solidworks, Fusion360 with no problems but Freecad is just horrible. I want to like Freecad but the simplest things are the hugest pains in the ass, it's feature set is huge but none of the features are actually polished.
