It frustrates me to no end that almost NONE of the models I want to download include step or SCAD files to allow you to make edits in CAD software. It seems like they only ever include the STL and 3MF, but very frequently I need to make I’ve gotten good at using Bambu Studio to make edits with my only tools being negative primitives and shapes. But it’s seriously a pain in the ass, there is no nice “snap to grid” or “snap to face” features and generally I feel like I’m just using the wrong software for this purpose. I know Blender is probably the best and most powerful tool for editing meshes. But I also have heard that some softwares can effectively convert them to solids and make things easier to work with. I’m looking for an alternative to the slicer or Blender that is quicker, easier and doesn’t take me 20 minutes to do the simplest thing. Tinkercad works too but I don’t find it to be any easier or different than just using the slicer itself since you’re still just able to scale, rotate and add shapes. Is everyone just creating models from scratch for every little tweak or addition?   submitted by   /u/dietcoca_cola   to   r/3Dprinting [link]   [comments]
