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?

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
