Newbie question re 3D software
I am a complete novice here - so much so that I haven't yet received my Prusa yet so please bear with me 😀聽
I have experience with CNC and am happy with using Vectric software for that. 聽 However 3-D is a whole new dimension for me 😀聽
I need 3D modelling software that is easy to learn and use. 聽Preferably free but I dont mind paying a reasonable amount.
What do people use/recommend?

RE: Newbie question re 3D software
Fusion 360 by AutoDesk.
As long as you are using it for a hobby, the (very expensive) license is free.
Search YouTube for Fusion 360 tutorials. There are some great ones. And Fusion 360 can export STLs.
RE: Newbie question re 3D software
For technical/engineering parts Fusion 360 (F360) is the best and free for startups and hobby. For more organics/free shapes modeling, Blender is the best and also free. Both programs has a learning curve, so be prepared to spend some time learning (Youtube).
Other programs are easier to master, like Sketchup, but you won't regret learning F360/Blender.
Have a look at my models on Printables.com 馃槈

I can't see how to download it. 聽I have registered but there is no download that I can see
RE: Newbie question re 3D software
I have been trying to download Fusion 360 for over 24 hours now. 聽 The problem is that I seem to have previously registered for a trial and whatever I try, 聽I cannot re-download it. 聽If I did previously download it it is no longer on my computer and I never used it.
I can't find any support to help me - just some automated thing called AVA that seems to have not heard of Fusion
RE: Newbie question re 3D software
I have finally managed to find a link to download Fusion 360 and have successfully registered it as a hobbyist. 聽

I have mine archived on my file server. Don't tell anyone. 😉 https://1drv.ms/u/s!Alcm67mm-lUcw2PMpdYUWi1L03Jg?e=BiixAO
