Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It will be helpful in supporting my final choice. Ignore the stupid comments. Your English is excellent !
I can build a "tube" radio, but know very little about the magic of computer electronics. I purchased most of the hardware needed to build a CNC for myself, over a year ago. I just don't know if the parts I bought will work for my needs or not. Your video helped a great deal. Thank you!
You did a good job in your presentation but you forgot key sequences ALT-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON and ALT-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to move the stage the object sits on.around.
Thanks for sharing the info. I just received a printer for Christmas, Ender 3 upgraded (pro). So now I'm looking at software to use with this, I think the Fusion 360 will be my go to, I will also look at the tinker cad to see what will do. Thank you and happy new year.
Ok so I tried fusion cad....way too large of a program. Cloud based, and I don't have high speed internet. I'm about to purchase a new computer just for this, so till I can get HSI I'll have to find something that I can used offline. But I do like fusion cad, just can't run it.
I agree not to use blender, but it was great to add it on the list. See, I started with Blender to animate, since I want to be a 3D animator when I grow up, but for school I have tech ed where we use Autodesk inventor. That cost two dollars a day so I had to use something else. When I found out Blender was one of them I tried it out, and it didn't go as plan. Thx for the recommendation. Ill go check em out.
The gist of this seemed to me to be use TinkerCAD if you want easy to use and quick to learn but if you are looking for more features (particularly in terms of rendering for graphics) then you might need Blender. I still haven't tried these programs. So, it is just my takeaway from watching the video.
I just tried installing DesignSpark Mechanical and that fell over. I downloaded the 32bit version and it told me it was X64 not intended for Intel. My system isn't Intel either. I've lost track of what I have tried to install so far. I'll try Onshape next.
Here is how to activate it knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-activate-start-up-or-educational-licensing-for-Fusion-360.html
You could use Fusion 360, there you can import a picture and trace it from there. I made a tutorial series for Fusion 360, if you need some pointers to get started.
What program is best for involving math with angles, what I’m wanting to design is very symmetrical and has lots of precise angles. Also taking in the printers microns. So if I get a 25 or 50 micron printer and I want to make a void in a block in the shape of a Disk but be 50 microns thick, so later on I can fill with a liquid. And /Or if I want to make a ramp that is 50 microns thick and it’s at an angle, one end touching the platform, and the other end being 50 to 100 microns off the platform, then put 150° on it and keep going. Also what about making a circle with 360 degrees of reference points. Like make a line starting at 0° and go to 150° and from there continue the line to 300° etc. with all said what software is best for me. Note the ramp will become a void shape inside of a solid
What is a good app for generating supports? I have a Flashforge and their app is excellent for this, but I also have a Sindoh 3DWOX 1 and it doesn't seem to do it. So I import a file into FlashPrint, add supports, export it as an STL, import it into the Sindoh app and THEN print. Is there a good app for doing this all at once and being able to address either printer?
This is the saddest and rudest bunch of people ever! This is someone who has spent his time educating himself to help others out and this is how you repay him? With your rude comments and making fun of this guy. You all need to get a job or find something better to do with time you have on your hands. Karma train will be comin round!
Hallo David, A helpful video . Thank you! ..... But I have a question: Supposing you have a stand-alone computer that is not connected to the internet - which of these 5 programmes can be used on this stand-alone computer? If none of the 5 would work could you suggest a free or cheap programme that would work?
Hey Oliver! Thanks for your reply. Actually, what I meant was that many "free" programmes need initially to be registered online and some appear to require for you to be online and "logged in" for the programme to work. Of course if you are working on a sensitive and confidential design then that's not acceptable. I know that sketch up do both a free and a payable version .. so do you know if both versions do not require for you to be logged on to sketch up's site .. and how about initial registration? I also have a paid version of TurboCad V. 20. (It did not cost a lot). Do you or anyone know if it can be used for 3D printing? All I know is that it can handle .STL files .. but I don't know if that means it can generate .STL files or simply read them.
I am using Freecad for a while now, and the part mode is very easy to use, I made many parts with it. Unfortunately it is not very well presented in this video. Part mode is very easy to use, desing mode is more difficult, but many youtube instruction are available.
FreeCAD is more targeted for Engineers type of people and as blender, it has a learning curve, Blender is meant for artists and content creators and deep learning curve.
Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Can you recommend a program that I can create an STP file of a dog and other animals (toys) to send to my manufacturer in China so he can make a 3D model and produce my toy ? Thank you and Merry Christmas !
Cinema 4D Vs Blender. Which one better. I feel better cinema 4D. But I don't know the rating between two of them. Plz help me if I continue with cinema 4D. What will be future.
Alright man thanks. I've been using sketchup for a while and to be honest, I'm scared to jump ship because I finally know my way around Sketchup a bit now. What would you suggest as a rendering program?
If you know SketchUp, you should totally stick to it. To render it you could import the model in Blender for example or some other rendering program and add lights and textures there.
i'm sorry if you don't like this comment, but it's start bad and after it's good... don't hate me you have big head and u have small chin in ur head maybe it's alot to think of, and your so smart! i liked and turn on the notification your a good youtuber and i like your vids
OnShape is by far the best solution for anyone just starting in CAD, or for advanced users that are making a transition to a modern CAD system. Calling TinkerCad a CAD program is like calling a Toyota Corolla a race car... nope.
Well you are right that Tinkercad is by no means a pro level cad program, but cad just means computer aided design, so technically you could almost call ms paint a cad program (not quite of course but I think you get my point)
Fusion 360 is awful, Buggy, loading issues. some simple things like copy paste can fuck up the drawing (if it even works) and you are very limited to do 2D drawings that then will turn into 3D instead of freely draw.
Won't let me register. I fill out page, click register, nothing happens, click it again, says username is in use, never lets me register no matter how many times I try, and no matter what user names I use.
You didn't mention Onshape?!
oh, that one is new to me, looks great though! I added it to the description and pinned your comment you people can see.
Thanks for the pin. Another program to consider is FreeCAD. It is open source but I haven't touched it since I discovered Onshape.
I know that one but decided not to include it as I don't like it so much and think the others are better.
Yeah as a newbie trying onshape it just took a few hours for me to really start making some cool stuff.
He didn't mention the best one either. Design Spark. I tinkered with many of these and always keep going back to Design Spark.
Thank you .. as a total CAD/3D printing noob, this video was really helpful in getting started !
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It will be helpful in supporting my final choice. Ignore the stupid comments. Your English is excellent !
Thanks a lot. watched a couple of videos where they say which one is best but no live example. And best is to see live examples . Great Video.
Thank you, this is really helpful information!
I mostly use DesignSpark Mechanicle, it works great for most things and is also free for hobby use after you create an account.
I can build a "tube" radio, but know very little about the magic of computer electronics. I purchased most of the hardware needed to build a CNC for myself, over a year ago. I just don't know if the parts I bought will work for my needs or not.
Your video helped a great deal. Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for saving me time!
I have never used any CAD programs, But I am only 70 years old. Thank you for giving me a clue! Later Albert
Nice work mate. Nice video, thanks for the help.
thanks for making this video! I have been looking everywhere for free CAD programs.
Hello, what if I want to trademark my product after I designed what I want? Should I contact the software company?
Thanks man, this was really informative and useful!
You did a good job in your presentation but you forgot key sequences ALT-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON and ALT-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to move the stage the object sits on.around.
I certainly started tinkercad and Im happy with it super easy and useful thank you
Great. But i recommend once you master tinkercad switch to SelfCAD- New program similar to tinkercad but more powerful
The new version of FreeCAD (0.17) is very good, the workflow is more like Solidworks with this version. I wouldn't use anything else for personal use.
Wow!!! Thnks for Thai info.
Very Helpful, Thank you for going to the effort to make this.
Thank you so much for this, though I don't use any of them. I use SelfCAD, New CAD program similar to Tinkercad but more powerful
I love SelfCAD it's the easiest to use
I totally forgot about tinker cad, thanks for the reminder.
Hi, I would also recommend 'DesignSpark'. It is totally free and fairly powerful with 3D print functions. Enjoy :)
Fantastic video! Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing the info. I just received a printer for Christmas, Ender 3 upgraded (pro). So now I'm looking at software to use with this, I think the Fusion 360 will be my go to, I will also look at the tinker cad to see what will do. Thank you and happy new year.

Blender for everything!
Thanks bro for the tips 👍🏻

For more features you also might want to check out fusion360 or Onshape, I made newer videos about them.

I'll try Onshape next.
How do you get Fusion360 for free. I only saw a free trial or subscription based.
They changed it, now the only free version is the student version. You could just try to get that one even if you aren't a student.
Here is how to activate it knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-activate-start-up-or-educational-licensing-for-Fusion-360.html
Drew kenton it's free for 3 years. Afterwards you need a yearly subscription
@@hugoandre96 i think you can renew it for free
@@maxxiang8746 How do you do that?
I've been watching your videos on the 3D printers and the laser engraver question for you with these machines can you actually use an iPad
I want to create a CAD image from a photo of a part for a cordless strimmer spool cover for a 3d (metal) print, how would I do this ?
You could use Fusion 360, there you can import a picture and trace it from there. I made a tutorial series for Fusion 360, if you need some pointers to get started.
I recommend you use the image generator tool of SelfCAD www.selfcad.com. www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Perfect-Printable-Shape-Using-Selfca/
OpenSCAD will have been thought forbidding because its UI is a program script. For programmers it works fine.
Thanks you are awesome, love your videos.

you could use either sketchup, fusion or onshape
Thank you this was very helpful
Sehr gut video. Wie alt bist du ? 15? Du weisst viel
Thank you very much for the information
No mention of designspark?
Cool video man, thanks!
Thank you friend
Sorry ALT-LEFT MOUSE BUTTON and ALT-RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON to move the stage the object sits on.around.
Thanks a lot

CamiemEngineer I don’t think sketch up needs WiFi if that is what you mean

FreeCAD or Blender don't need any internet connection to work (and you can transfer the installers using an USB drive)

Unfortunately it is not very well presented in this video.
Part mode is very easy to use, desing mode is more difficult, but many youtube instruction are available.
I'll take another look
Hello thanks for the video, is this software compatible for OSX!
Thank you great video
also very new to this.......great intro to programs to create 3D an object and STL file, can you do a similar vid on the best free slicers?
Cura is the answer to that one
Tinkercad is good for a newbie like me, pretty easy...
Thanks
But the problem with Tinkercad is quite very basic, and for that case I recommend SelfCAD, easy to use yet powerful program
Easy but bad for complex builds
Have you tried SelfCAD?, that's what am using and it's pretty cool
FreeCAD is more targeted for Engineers type of people and as blender, it has a learning curve, Blender is meant for artists and content creators and deep learning curve.
thank you for the help!

Awesome thank you!
Great vid;) try out designspark mechanical. It is also free, or sketchup
Great video new sub
ALso, does it matter which 3D printer you have, I have Qiditech
thank you really helpfull
alien head shape.. nice!
Thank you.
Perhaps mobile cad is useful
i cant seem to find the free version of the Fusion360
What camera are u using?
Canon 70d
Good
Well said!
Thank you :)
Cinema 4D Vs Blender. Which one better. I feel better cinema 4D. But I don't know the rating between two of them. Plz help me if I continue with cinema 4D. What will be future.
I worked with both and they are really similar. The main difference is that cinema 4d isn't free while blender is.
Nice
Man, There's just non stop ads for a bunch of programs....
I am no where near an artist..I need a CAD program that I can up load a picture into and build from that..Is there anything like that?
Fusion360 supports that very well
please can you tell me the name of the first one!
amanyisye mwalulesa they are all in the description
thanks, I have seen it.
Meshmixer is another great 3d tool that is free.
Hello there I speak german too i´m from Austria!
Ich auch. Aus Norwegen hier :D
Thanks 😂💪👍
How old are you?
DesignSpark Mechanical
I am looking for a program that can convert .stl to .g3 files. My Dremel printer only works with .g3. So far. Their website help kind of sucks.
Go for selfcad www.selfcad.com
English or American oder deutsch
It’s the kid from deliverance!
TinkerCAD would be wonderful if it could be downloaded and not at the mercy of slow internet connection.
By the way, what's your favorite?
At the moment it's Fusion360!
Alright man thanks.
I've been using sketchup for a while and to be honest, I'm scared to jump ship because I finally know my way around Sketchup a bit now.

Thanks for the help. Any tips on getting to know Blender? Any yt channels?
OnShape is not FREE.
i'm sorry if you don't like this comment, but it's start bad and after it's good... don't hate me

your a good youtuber and i like your vids
In America it's considered pretentious to know more that one language.. humble yourself 😆 jk well done and thank you!
America is the most culturally diversified country on the planet. Your a complete moron if you live in America and only speak one language.
Fusion 360 is not free
selfcad is now free
Great accent

Lol i thought the same rofl
thanks for the tips, I would enjoy watching you, if you had some energy >D XD
German? I thought he was Irish lol
Ta-ta-ta-ta-today jr
how are you going to do a review about something you do not know a good deal about and then tell people they have to learn it
