MakeUseOf: This free CAD software runs in your browser and puts expensive programs to shame. “Computer-aided design has a reputation problem. For most people, a CAD design means multi-gigabyte installers, clunky license managers, and subscriptions that sometimes cost more than the hardware your PC has. Now there are a lot of design tools that don’t require a subscription, but one of them is […]

@scudderfish I could never find my way through #cadquery. Too weird the syntax and concepts. I forked #sdfCAD and worked on something I understood myself but in the end stayed with #solveSpace.

~fluencyCAD~
Progressed into sketch projection from and to 2D. I think this is a cleaner approach for drawing.
Next stage will be additional operations like cutting holes and timeline logic.
Intention is to have CAD geared towards maker with a focused UI with static layout so you can develp "muscle memory".
I´m pretty happy already as I completely ruled out writing a CAD software at all.Project can be assisted by donating for tea here:

Interesting how most of the pain points Michael from #teachingTech has with #FreeCAD / #Ondsel in this video are things that #SolveSpace does right:
- referencing arbitrary geometry from anywhere when sketching
- centered-on-line-constraint (though he probably just missed that in FreeCAD?)
- timeline of modelling steps
- no (okay, less...) cryptic error messages -
I modeled some new #tinywhoop ducts in #solvespace for my Nux65 build. I'm gonna print them in PP (#polypropylene). PP's some tough #filament, let's see how they hold up in the stress tests. #3dprinting #fpv
