#CAD modeling is great fun and #OnShape worked surprisingly well for a browser-based tool!

Just a heads up: if you are going solo, you can use any tool you like, but if you are going to collaborate with others you might want to model things in an #OpenSource tool like #FreeCAD.

I mention this because I was worried OnShape was going to go under someday, or remove their free accounts, so I felt compelled to re-create the #HestiaPi case in FreeCAD to make sure I could port it over while I still had access to the original model.

People who have been burned too many times by companies "sunsetting" their products aren't going to invest the time to learn any #proprietary tool.

It's always a drag to spend lots of time learning a new tool only to find out that the community has rallied around something else. Wanted to make sure you were able to maked an informed choice.
