Hello community, I’ll try to be brief. My 13 year old son got a 3d printer as a gift, and I’d like to learn alongside him. We have 0 experience. However, I am a data scientist, so lots of professional Python experience, if that helps. We’re a foss/Linux family so my questions are:
What tools are the best to learn for 3d printing for me? I am ready to learn CAD programming. Can you all recommend a tech stack and resources to learn it?
I use OpenSCAD to have a declarative method to ‘design’ boxes for my electronic projects. So boxes and lids with hinges and stuff.
When I need something with accurate measurements but a more complex design, FreeCad is the go-to tool. Sprockets, PS5 controller loading-station, bolts and nuts.
Blender probably can be used too, but I have never used it.
