I'm amazed at FreeCAD's abilities. It needs a better name. Thinking of it as simply "cad software" like calling a 2-GHz computer in your pocket a "phone". in c/[email protected]

Strange, when I looked it up at the time there were a bunch of suggestions for defaults to change and stuff to try and solve it.

You can print circles and not have them come out with flat faces instead of an actual circle?

Can it export STL/3MF without making all the circles low poly yet?

Last time I tried it freecad was not usable for 3d printing because it doesn't export properly.

With the naming bug that still exists too I found it basically unusable even for basic parts. It feels like going back 20 years compared to fusion 360.

That is an insane bug to have in your CAD software, I don't see how it's usable for any slightly complex part.
