Just want to thank everyone that engaged with my post today everyone was so chill and inspiring. I want to encourage us all in this community and all over Lemmy to continue to be kind and helpful. I had so many bad experiences on Reddit with hate keepers and know it alls and I’m glad we got this opportunity to be something better.
Ps: what cad software did you start on and what do you use now? Any tips and tricks will be greatly appreciated!
For learning or use. Fusion 360 still offers a free version for home use. There are great tutorials on YouTube or buy a $30/month Udemy account and get access to tons of courses and everything else in their library and cancel when you’re done learning.
For Mac and Windows only, limited to 10 editable designs and 1 drawing at a time.
The window part kills me… Wish there was a real Linux alternative.
I used to run Fusion 360 in Chrome on my Chromebook and then chromium when I flashed the Chromebook to Ubuntu after my support schedule ended. I get it for free through the school district where I work and am using my two licenses on my computer and on my friend’s computer where I definitely do much of my modeling. -cough- lie -cough-
If you or anyone you know has an email account from an educational institution, you should be able to access it for free!
Shit I didn’t know about the education email thing, I’ll have to give that a shot soon.
I’m currently using the hobby license of it.
