I recently got into 3D printing. What are you guys using for modeling?
I've been using FreeCAD. Am I using this software wrong? I've been solely using the part design workshop. My models consist of multiple sketches and I build them on top of each other. However, if I go back to previous sketch and modify it, it is very likely something will break in a later sketch. So far I've gotten around it by making sure my first sketches are 100%, but ultimately the more advanced the models get, the more likely I need to fix something in the beginning too.
Duplicating parts of a model is a complete PITA too.
If you're having no issues at all with FreeCAD, can you point me to a book or tutorial?
Or if you know something better, please let me know. Doesn't have to be free, but I probably can't justify paying for a license.
