I’ll start. I have recently gotten into 3D printing, and, while incredibly frustrating sometimes, there’s nothing more rewarding than getting a perfect print.

    Blender terrible for cad. It’s an art tool, not an engineering tool. There is at least one plugin to make it a parametric modeler like cad programs, but I’ve never used it.

    Blender does have its place in manipulating/repairing STL files though. You just can’t get the same vertex-level control out of any other program.

      @Rodeo honestly this sounds like the case. I don’t have a ton of experience in modeling, but have definitely found controlling blender at very precision points to be difficult but always figured I just hadn’t spent enough time learning the software. Gonna try and dig up the free Fusion360 and try it out
