3d modelling and slicing software for Linux
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For modeling I like Freecad and Blender. Blender is more for general modelling and sculpting, Freecad is more for cad/constraint based creation of precise 3d models. So use blender if you want to create little soldiers or elephants or other more organic stuff, and use Freecad if you want to print a replica of a plastic part or an enclosure or something like that.
There should be tons of slicers available on Linux.
Thanks! I'll look into Freecad
Be careful, the interface is out of 2008 and many things work differently than F360. Especially assemblies.
Keep at it look up many videos, it is super powerful. Just not as streamlined as F360
I have made a small form factor computer case as well as a flight stick in it. Definitely good software. Hopefully in the next 2-3 years it will get immensly better also because many people are starting to work on it.
Try plasticity, it's a paid OSS but amazing.
