I’ve never used a 3d printer before but want to get one. I have a bit experience in blender but not too much. My question is: How do you model for a 3d print? For example, if I want to print a hollow cylinder, I go into blender, create cylinder and delete the side faces. If I print this, the walls will be pretty thin. Do I have to make them bigger manually? and if I do so (extrude and scale) does my slicer (cura) automatically fill in the solid part?

    Fusion360 can run on linux using WINE, HERE is a GitHub repo showing how to set it up.

    Or the web version works on linux too ofc

    That being said I use and recommend onshape if you aren’t planning on doing this for a company professionally that already uses F360

      Good to know! I just saw a post somewhere around here recently by someone who had troubles on Linux, which is what I based this off of (a little hastily).

        Ya I don’t doubt people have troubles with it since you need winetricks and such. Hopefully they see that github page eventually and get it working.

      NIce! I spent weeks trying to get Fusion 360 to run in wine back in 2020. Eventually I gave up and learned Free CAD/Open scad/blender like all the other penguins.
