I’ve finally reached a brick wall where I can’t just find something on Printables/Thingiverse that I can modify for my use case. Until now, I’ve been able to find something close and use OrcaSlicer to make small adjustments or occasionally kit bash two models together.
Now, it seems, I need to design something from scratch.
I’ve had Blender recommended, but I just cannot make sense of it no matter how many Youtube videos make it look so easy.
I’ve also got FreeCAD installed but am still getting my bearings and nothing has come of it yet.
So, recommendations? The only limitations are that it has to run on Linux and not be a cloud service. I’m willing to pay for a license if need be but no SaaS or having to fight with Wine to get it going.
Also, if you’re making raspberry pi enclosures as I think I read in the comments, there is this library that has pre-modeled rpis to use as a reference: https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib
Nice. A lot more than RPis, too.
This is actually for a Banana Pi but it’s in the Pi Zero form factor so should be easy to modify.
