I've been enjoying using OpenSCAD whenever I can (instead of Fusion 360). The language is a bit janky but it's great for hacking something up in a purely procedural manner, and using Git.


I would so love to use a free CAD software ...

OpenSCAD is fine for what it does and I do use it a lot for very simple stuff. ImplicitCAD is another interesting project in that space that has fillet unions.

FreeCAD would be great if the Interface wouldn't be so janky. I give it a try every now and then, but never really get over the re-learning aspect.

So, I am still stuck with Fusion360 running in a VM on my otherwise FLOSS-only system :-/


It will be interesting to see how constraint based modelling in Blender comes along. Seems like the most promising route at the moment.
