I’m using Fusion360, and I dislike it for a lot of reasons, but it’s easy to use. I tried FreeCAD, but it was very janky in comparison. Shapr3D was surprisingly good, but there’s no way I’m paying monthly for my hobby usage. I need precision prints, so I can’t just use Blender or similar.

Is there some magical unicorn software I’m not finding?

    OnShape is what I use. Fusion is fine, but a little heavy for me.

    FreeCAD is just slightly too clunky for what I use it for, but I’ll keep trying every release to see if I change my mind.

    In the meantime, OnShape is cross platform cause it’s all in browser and I don’t care about my designs being public. I actually post them all free anyway.

      The biggest issue with their license is that they went so hard on protecting themselves hosting it, that they basically give everyone BUT the creatort the right to monetize a public design. It’s an offensively sloppy ToU, or at least it was the last time I checked it.
