I’ll definitely check out tinkerCAD, OnShape, and Fusion360. Thank you for the suggestions!

In my professional life I will be doing serious practical designs with pretty precise tolerances and functionality. But for my personal enjoyment I would probably be mostly making useful/fun things just to gain knowledge and skill with design. I’d like to be getting more proficient with slicing software and learning how to get better quality out of different print materials in my free time.

What printer would you recommend for a beginner that wants room to grow? Pretty much everything I see is pointing towards the Bambu Labs P1S.

Your input was definitely helpful 🫡

Slicer:

1. OrcaSlicer

2. PrusaSlicer

3. Ideamaker

Use Orca

Many many tweaks to get your prints unbelievably high quality.

Printer:

Bambu - for beginners, easiest, best out the box, just know its backed by CCP (most folks don't care tho, I understand)

Voron - best, FOSS build yourself, amazing upgradability, a race car

Prusa - classic, great, just expensive now for what you get. Workhorses

Basically anything else, based on your budget and use case (Sovol, FLSun [you said your work had one], etc.)

Pretty hard to beat a Bambu a1 mini for $179 right now
