I love it when I have a problem and I can just go fix that with an hour of designing and testing and have a working solution printed for the next day. Just so satisfying. This is why I love this hobby.

FreeCAD is not intuitive at all. I’ve used Fusion 360 for years, and used SolidWorks in college, and I have a mechanical engineering degree. Trying FreeCAD felt like going from a reliable car to a beater that you have to jimmy the key in to get it to start, and smack it in just the right spot every couple minutes to keep it running.
It’s a cool idea, and I like that it’s open source, but it’s just too clunky for me. I had high hopes for it to replace Fusion with Autodesk restricting free access so much this year, but looks like I’ll just have to deal with Fusion for now
