My (first?) 3d printer arrives tomorrow. I’ve been researching for months. One category I’ve been looking into is 3d modeling software. They all have drawbacks (too expensive, too hard to learn, save files in the cloud, etc) but the one that seems to fit the best is this apparently new one called Plasticity. I’d be willing to spend the $150 and then decide after a year if I want to re-up or just keep the current version. Or maybe I’d upgrade every few years or something.
Anyway, there are a bunch of great reviews and tutorials but they’re all over a year old, from when looks like the software was first released.
I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with it and could advise if it’s worth the $150.
I have been told by people I know who use Blender extensively (I certainly don’t use it extensively – or at all, really) that there are plugins that will bludgeon it into producing models with dimensionally accurate features. I can’t speak for this myself but it appears to be an option.
