Hey there! As a 3D printer addict I do a lot of small parts in CAD to print and use around the house. Lately I've been exploring all sorts of CAD software since finding out there's a more around than just Fusion360 and Onshape so I started exploring what's out there and jotting down my impressions.

Hope this is not spam, just want to help people see what's around and help them pick!

If you want a similar price for a more CAD-y like software (sketch/feature-based) Alibre Atom3D should approach that price (also non-subscription), though pricing may be regional. The italian reseller asks for 180eur (but already had a discount down to 130) which isn't as cheap but definitely within the same range.

That's neat and yeah around the same price point. Looks like it also has parametric functions too. I'll look more into it too, thank you!
