Have a look at onshape.com. It's a web-based cad tool and I found that it was easy enough to learn in a couple hours using video tutorials. I now use it to make all my 3d printed parts. I mainly work on Linux so the web interface is a big plus for me.

if you're going web based you can do sketchup or fusion360 as well. Personally I am allergic to web based 3d design apps - they don't run anywhere near as fast as native applications, there are privacy and future continuity concerns, and I don't have to upgrade to the latest version if I dont want to.

I suspect the whole reason this discussion is happening is because AutoDesk just announced Fusion360 is becoming crippleware at the end of the month.

(If you haven't seen that, and you have projects in F360 formats you're assuming you'll be able to export - you might want to go export them all into some other format now, while you still can...)

...I had not seen that.

Luckily my not trusting web apps means I am already backed up in non autodesk formats. But exactly why when sketchypoved to wrbapp I said I wouldn't trust it

I looked at it but everything you do on the free version is public facing and that's an automatic no from me. I would the option to make a final product "public"/open to all but all my fuckups? no thanks. Also it's just a general matter of privacy.
