What software are you guys using?

[CameronCodes]

So earlier this year my father helped me buy a 3d printer and now I finally have an idea of what I'm going to print.
I'm a good artist and do decent scetches and renderings of car stuff. So is there a software that let's me create stuff from a remote tablet?

I don't know, I used sketchup about 2 years ago. Then Meshmixer for about 10 minutes, then I tried Fusion 360 for a few hours, now i'm using Solidworks.

It will be pretty hard modeling on a tablet. Use a computer or laptop and a mouse. You will need a good computer if your going to be using Solidworks or anything like that. My boss got a used $3,000 computer, and I still managed to make it crash lol

Tinkercad. I started with fusion 360 but it was too complicated for me. Prusa slicer for slicing.

What's slicing?

What's slicing?

The slicer is a program. You load your object, created in 3D modeling software. It creates a program with instructions Using Gcode language for the printer to read and create the part. All the setting pertinent to your machine/object/material are set up in the slicer settings. I’ve dumb’d it down allot but trust me it’s a deep rabbit hole to jump into.

Using fusion 360 and cura

Same here.. really like fusion, plus I use the cam side of the software as well for the cnc so it's a win win for me...

Well I need to get into 3D printing somewhere....let me start with some tutorial videos so I can get an understanding the terms and the process before I buy anything

I use Chitubox for my resin printers. As for my fdm stuff I use Ultimaker 4.9, PrusaSlicer, Meshlab, FreeCAD, Fusion360, 123D Design [older version as it is discontinued], Ragard3D [for converting pictures into 3d models, and Windows own 3D Builder for simple quick models.

If anyone is looking for help. Lars Christiansen on YouTube. He’s an Autodesk employee who makes tutorials. Very very well informed and helped me greatly starting fusion 360
