Hi
I am new to 3D printing wondering what you recommend for a program to make custom parts?
Thanks

Hi Dave,
I would glady recommend Fusion360. For personal, hobby use it's free and there's lots of great video tutorials on youtube. For businesses you pay a subscription fee. I've tried it and it's pretty intuitive. You save your files onto their server though so you have to have your internet connection always on. As for me, I use Solidworks which is not free but the learning curve I feel is much steeper. I can use it offline and save onto my pc, though. The big downside of Solidworks I find is that organic/sculpted shapes are not as easy to create compared to Fusion360. Dave Roof uses Fusion360 too for his business - for his Flying Leatherneck aftermarket products -- very impressive stuff!
Regards,
Joe

Hey CJ,
could you just connect the top and bottoms with something they can print with. I’ll just cut it off and reassemble with 1mm brass rod.
