They offer a discount $150 for 3 years the $680 full price. 😞 it was bound to happen.

      There’s a few permanent license alternatives that I’ve heard recently. I’ve been researching Plasticity and Alibre Atom3D

      FreeCAD definitely does look like a good option. I followed a tutorial the other day and was able to do some cool stuff with it. Autodesk can definitely go to hell but if I find FreeCAD is suitable for the hobby stuff I do, then I’m using it.

      I dunno why you say FreeCAD is bad. When I got my 3d printer I picked it because I knew fusion would rug pull eventually, and fusion doesn’t run on Linux without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

      It takes a bit to learn, just like any app. But it’s just as powerful. I really like the spreadsheet usage in FreeCAD to keep all my dimensions in one place.

        I’m not the one saying “FreeCAD sucks”, its sprinkled throughout this entire post. My comment/questions was related to saying “okay so if FreeCAD “sucks” and fusion360 is pulling the rug on us, what else is out there that is comparable and as useful as fusion360”
