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

    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.
