Back in college, I had a few classes on CAD (mostly for engineering design), and I became decently proficient with CATIA, SolidWorks, and Autodesk Inventor. Now that I’m getting into 3D printing, I’m coming back to CAD and finding my skills pretty rusty.

I plan to use FreeCAD as my main tool. Could anyone please recommend some tutorials that I can complete that would give me a solid working knowledge of FreeCAD and help me brush up on CAD in general?

    For someone with zero experience (meeeeee!!!), which would you recommend?

    I’m not an idiot but I have no idea where to even begin. I have a 3D printer and I will need to make small, somewhat simple parts for a couple of projects I’m working on.

      I can’t say one or the other definitively, I think it depends on who you like listening to the best. What I would do though is try to do one short tutorial a day for a while instead of longform videos. That tends to yield better learning results.
