I still have no idea what I’m doing really. Just too determined to give up I guess, and it’s been such fun. Anyway I made a guitar pedal light switch cover. Still a lot of work to do, and every time I look at FreeCAD the wrong way, the model breaks, but it’s been a fun experience nonetheless.
On a side note, anybody have any idea why the face of the model is rough textured, while the foot switch on the lower half is flawless?
F360 personal is limited to 10 saved designs, and I don’t know how expensive but a lot. I mean I use it but I wish I didn’t
10 saves that you can actively work on. You can toggle them between “editable” and “read only” at any time, so it’s a stupid nuisance but not really more than that.
At least it doesn’t force you to publish designs online like onshape does
True. Tbf. I like that I can easily share my things with my friends but dislike the forced online.
criticism of F360 is definitely fair game. i don’t like the forced online, and I don’t like they only support windows (cuz linux is scawry), and I the cut-down version has some fairly deep cuts in the utility. (I use FC for setting up the open foam problems and FEM studies. it actually works well for that.)
the 10 active files things is a stupid, stupid restriction to impose, though. like, i’m not even sure why they did. restricting access to FEM studies or generative design etc, yeah, that makes sense. (though I’d love it if they let me do local things, too… my computer can handle it…)
If fusion 360 doesn’t run natively on Linux, sadly I’m not interested. I haven’t run Windows on personal machines in many years.
Onshape is incredibly forgiving. Ran it on the browser on my laptop from 2011
Same
What a shitty limitation though.
I mean I just export my files to my drive and then the 20 file limitation is nonexistent
