Hey all.
I finally got my Ender 3 converted enough to print ASA and ABS without warping. Insulated enclosure, thermostat controlled 200W PTC heater, upgraded hot end and extruder, filament dry box, and a recirculating HEPA+carbon filtration system (because I live in an apartment). Whew. I'm printing ASA with minimal warpage now. Need to try my hand at the glass- and carbon-fiber types.
So I'm ready to start designing some rocket parts, but my current limitation is my shitty Tinkercad skills. I need to learn a better 3D cad system.
I started looking at Fusion 360 - I can get the student edition - and was immediately overwhelmed. Do I need to bite the bullet here and spend a few months learning, or do y'all suggestions on other CAD you like?
TIA.
