Wanted to share this since this was a long Project. Since Autodesk started changing Fusions functionality, from limiting active projects, to changing their terms of service. Since I need a CAD tool for my 3D Printable designs, I started migrating to a new cross platform CAD tool. That happened to be FreeCAD.

Learning FreeCAD wasn't easy, but was well worth my time. And after slowly pecking at it for 11 months, I was able to re-build every design I made (that I cared about).

I've made my 3D Printable designs available on my GitHub if you are interested: https://github.com/the16bitgamer/16BitVirtualStudiosDesigns

I don't really like what's been built so far and I'm not qualified to contribute, so it's entirely possible the more it's developed the more I'll come to dislike using it. I don't want to own freecad (yet).

Totally fair and fine :) Having kept an eye on the project for several years already, I think it's heading in the right direction (and no alternative has emerged), but yeah, the road ahead is very long!
