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?

    FreeCAD. Anything that’s not opensource is basically using you for some nefarious purpose. You’re a product or a product in the making or you’re making a product for them…you could be training a CAD AI to end all CAD.

    FreeCAD is us. You use it, if you find a problem you report it or fix it. That simple. Your CAD files don’t die because the company changed CEO or died.
