  • I’m intrigued but confused. What’s the difference between 3DEXPERIENCE and xDesign? Are they the same thing or different? Do you need both or just one or the other? They’re called “packages” so do you need some kind of base install and then choose which package to put on top of it? All of the demonstration videos show it running in a browser but people in this thread are complaining about lack of Linux support


  • I got a 3d printer about a year ago and looked into CAD software and came to the exact same conclusion you just did. I ended up using Plasticity. I thiink I paid $150 for a year of updates. But there are still two major drawbacks: first is it’s not parametric, as you said, but more importantly you can’t import stls and edit them. You can export stls, but you have to make them from scratch. You can technically import an stl but it’s impossible to edit. Oftentimes I find a design online but I want to tweak it to my purposes but I can’t do that.

    I’d love it if Free CAD had a better UI. It’s just so frustrating and hideous to use.















  • Jellyfin is hardly a no-brainer. I set it up out of curiosity a few weeks ago and my first question was how do I give access to my friends and family. So I searched, and all of the results were talking about setting up a VPN or a reverse proxy or whatever. Man, I just want to tell my mom “install this app on your tv and log in”, which is exactly what Plex does.

    I get that Plex is enshittifying, but pretending Jellyfin is a drop-in replacement is delusional.
