I’ve started watching a freeCAD tutorial series on YouTube. It’s a little slow going, since I don’t have a huge amount of time to dedicate to it, but it’s amazing how quickly the basics can be picked up.
There is going to be a TON of progress next year. I think 2024, freecad will be very usable for hobbyits.
2024, the year of ~~Linux desktop~~ Freecad
Always 1 year away!
I'm a hobbyist, and I find FreeCAD very usable already. But then, my beard is long enough that I remember all of the art and design I did back in the day in all those old janky software packages running in DOS (sometimes even in as much as 640x480!) so maybe my tolerance for obtuse horseshit is higher than most.
Hey, give us one of those cool privacy respecting links if you don't mind :)
