Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.
3DPrinting is a place where makers of all skill levels and walks of life can learn about and discuss 3D printing and development of 3D printed parts and devices.
The r/functionalprint community is now located at: !functionalprint@kbin.social or !functionalprint@fedia.io
There are CAD communities available at: !cad@lemmy.world or !freecad@lemmy.ml

This is why I will continue putting up with FreeCAD.
There's a newer project called Dune 3D
It was built specifically for 3D printing in mind.
In Germany we call it Hassliebe and it describes perfectly what i have with freecad (stupid import an stl way)
To be honest, I prefer SolveSpace. It's significantly simpler and lacks a lot of features FreeCAD has, but it doesn't crash and does just enough for me to be able to design whatever I need for 3D printing.
I think they both have their advantages. I found SolveSpace a lot more flexible with how you can create constraints. In FreeCAD constraining a line in proportion to another line is AFAIK impossible but at least not at all intuitive in FreeCAD but it's quite easy in SolveSpace.
Of course. But I find myself reaching towards SolveSpace almost exclusively when I need CAD, than FreeCAD. Perhaps because my tasks are lighter.
