FreeCAD. I have a 3D printer and it’s nice to make my own models for things. I learned a bit of Blender, but have found that’s a lot better for me just to edit existing STLs I find online. For making things from scratch FreeCAD gives me better tooling to make changes and iterate design, while also being a lot more easy to stay precise with measurements.
FreeCAD is so fun! I recently learned it because I finally found one use-case where 3d printing a part makes sense AND there isn’t any pre-made model available online. It was a tunnel to connect my snakes two terrariums and it needed to have very specific sizing, spacing and for aesthetics I wanted it to be hexagonal.
I really hope I find another reason to 3d print something soon. Because I don’t really have fun in 3d modeling things just for the sake of it haha
