CAD can’t be this hard! I can’t learn any if it…

[Commander]

I have tried a bunch of CAD software and can’t even make a simple bin with any of it. Hell I could even do a simple draw 2 boxes, one smaller than the other and align them in TinkerCAD…
There must be an easy CAD software. I even tried to use ChatGPT to generate. .stl files - because when I asked it if it could, it said yes. Hours into it, it finally told me it couldn’t actually do it…

@Commander I have tried them all Sharpr3d is the easiest to use. I have been doing some other stuff on fusion360. My wife is cracking up I have 3d stuff everywhere. Two machines essentially run non stop.

I tried Sharpr3d, too hard

@Commander It was a hundred years ago (at least it feels that way) that I did a bunch of CAD work in college, so a lot of it came back when I was messing around with different software

This may help; you can customize these to meet your needs. Just click the customize link and change the dimensions.

@commander Have you tried Sketchup? There is a free version that works through your browser, so not install needed. For me, its the easiest to learn.

@JtCjEfF
Is that CAD software? You can’t really tell by their website. It just looks like a big promotional push of I don’t know what..

@Stevepep
I can’t really figure out how to change anything in an stl or even a 3mf. That is the problem. I have a ton of files I want to modify, just can’t figure it iut.

@Commander yes sir. It’s what I use to model 3d then export to stl for printing.
