![]() I only ever got far enough into Fusion 360 to manage a simple shop vac nozzle which I use with the Primo, but I don’t think that I could replicate the same part in FreeCAD. I find it more than reasonable for 2D/2.5D, but some 3D projects I find … frustrating. Maybe not so nice for the power bill though.įreeCAD is good enough for me, but doesn’t seem to be really a substitute for Fusion360. Convenient to just grab an old laptop or PC and set up a dedicated machine for whatever task. Linux is so much faster than Windows on the same processor, it definitely breathes new life into old computer equipment, and I have tons of it. Last thing it printed was a core for the original ZenXY) and I use the browser on it to connect to my current main printer’s Duet wifi. It’s connected to my old old MBot clone (Which I don’t think works right now. Still haven’t debugged that) I also have PrusaSlicer running on it, which is good enough that I finally ditched Windows on the main machine that I do my 3D print slicing on. LightBurn also runs on it (But screws over my laser if I let it connect via USB. There’s a native FreeCAD client, so that’s good. Yes, it’s annoying to set up, but now it works, so I’m happy. ![]() ![]() I have Estlcam set up on it, working fine under wine. We can easily install the GRBL firmware to an Arduino and so we instantly get a low cost, high performance CNC controller. I set up Mint 20.1 (Upgrading to 20.2 today) on an older Toshiba laptop for evaluation. GRBL is an open source software or firmware which enables motion control for CNC machines.
