I’m currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I’d love to find a good alternative that isn’t from a predatory company like Autodesk

I really liked fusion360 the only problem is they keep changing licensing. All of my experience is as a hobbyist so it really is a pain when they cripple my cnc or limit the number of projects. Who knows they might start charging for colors or something crazy like Adobe.
I wish i would have started with onshape or freecad. Also I think solidworks is extremely discounted for EAA members
totally agree. I do my hobby work under a work funded fusion account. If I didn’t have paid fusion, I’d probably persevere with freecad or use onshape. I liked using onshape - it’s pretty similar to fusion from my experience. I haven’t tried tinkercad yet. TBF the charging for colours was a pantone thing. What shits me with fusion is if you want to render an animation you still have to pay for it to be rendered in the cloud even with a paid subscription. use case is pretty limited but it would be a nice thing to play around with, especially given most home computers are more than powerful enough to render at home.
Onshape is really not hard to pick up coming from Fusion 360
