  1. @brett I use SpaceMouse Wireless and it is great for both 2D and 3D navigation in #Fusion360, #SolidEdge, #OnShape, #PrusaSlicer, etc. It took me a couple of days to get used to it, of course. I like rotating the model and looking at it from all sides and angles, zooming in and out to check some corners, filets, etc.

    Can you go without one? Yes, but it makes using these tools flawless and easier vs. with regular mouse. It works in many other apps, too, but its main strength is 3D navigation.

  6. @kbob @chrishuck @poleguy @neuron @hwang @wow_elec_tron I got the small Bluetooth 3D Connexion #SpaceMouse as a birthday gift and I like it very much. I’m using it with #Fusion, #SolidEdge and #PrusaSlicer on Windows. I chose the small one since I don’t like the footprint of the bigger ones and since it can use Bluetooth, a dongle and USB C cable (the dongle and the cable are included in the box).

    I've moved from #solidworks to #SolidEdge for work, and this was great for learning #FreeCAD in my free time. Getting the hang of sheet metal products in any of those involves a learning curve but are very similar (though #SolidEdge has a great tool with synchronous design). #FreeCAD works well for folding calculations so far for me, though I haven't made too much stuff yet to really stretch the skill level with our turret punch, CNC, presses etc
