Have you tried OpenSCAD?

@Ruald_Andreae
yes once it s hardcore for me . i have started cading only 2 weeks ago

4

Yeah OpenSCAD is a mind bender, totally different to standard apps, not sure what FreeCAD is like. Good luck!

@Ruald_Andreae
freecad is more user friendly , have try.
thanks you too

Find a YouTube video about Construction Lines, they’ll make life much easier.

@Mark_MARKSE_Emery
on freecad i use sketcher workbench , its the same thing

What I like about OpenSCAD is that it’s like code, I can script a bit so this resonates with me, I can write functions and reuse them in different ways repeatedly.

@Ruald_Andreae
you are right but for a non engineer openscad is a little hard ,the UI of freecad is friendly . i used openscad before it took me more time to make things

@Ruald_Andreae
openscad is like low level language more efficient but hard to use , freecad higher language less efficient but easy to use .

11

I’m convinced. I’m a diehard OpenSCAD user but you’ve convinced me to give FreeCAD a try. Thanks!

Ditto…sudo apt-get install freecad…few mins…freecad enter aaahhh opensource

13

OpenSCAD has a module in FreeCAD too so you have the best of both worlds.

14

Nice,… what’s the application you open once you’re done with FreeCad? Seems like a 3D printer tool.

@Jan_Rhebergen
YES , slic3r to generate Gcode from STL files for the 3d printer
