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!
This will be unpopular, but I would recommend getting an autoddsk Inventor eduational license, if you can, to learn the basics of parametric modeling. Build up general skills and then graduate to a FOSS solution like Freecad. I would recommend finding broken gadgets/toys and home and reverse engineering replacement parts.
