It’s software cad. You write code that makes the 3d model. And then you print the 3d model.

The last “official release” was 2 years ago. But development (and community) is active. You gotta get the nightly builds.

    Three times I have tried to get a grip on Blender, and have given up. You have to dig deep to put something on precise coordinates, and if you click something wrong, everything is fucked up with the UI without a way back. Documentation is random YT videos that all seem to assume that you already have a blender diploma.

    With openscad, it took me half a day from installing the software, doing tutorials to finished design.

      Same here. Never found a 3d tool that went right. But openscad is straightforward. Zero to printable thing in an hour.

      Code is a little weird but I’m getting a feel for it. That would be an interesting project, to make a better openscad code.
