      Fusion360. It’s mostly used for designing stuff for 3D printing. I use it a ton for random things around the house as well as to supplement my other hobbies.

      I don’t put much stuff on Printables, but here is one of the more “successful” ones: https://www.printables.com/model/548516-printable-drywall-mount (It somehow got listed as a featured model on the frontpage. That was… random.)

      I’ll use it for larger projects where I need to simulate movement, like for a full CNC machine I am designing.

      This CNC z-axis was fully designed in CAD so I could print out templates for drilling holes and also pre-test for stresses. It’s an upgrade I had to make for my cheap 3018 CNC to mill PCBs and cut parts for my new CNC:
