Francis Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone. Having seen some of you designing your own models on computer, I was wondering if you could suggest an easy to learn program (preferably free programs, if possible) to allow me to do the same. With the current situation, I figured I should have some time on my hands and wanted to try designing my own. At least I will learn something new. Thanks Francis Edited May 17, 2020 by Francis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Hoffmann Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) My favourite free CAD program is fusion 360: https://www.autodesk.com/campaigns/fusion-360-for-hobbyists Many good videos on YT to learn the basics. Only the activation procedure is a bit tedious. You need to open an account with Autodesk but in my humble opinion it's worth it.
