I wish more people would try this over openscad. I like openscad but the UI and with cadquery you use python! and now I noticed "CadQuery supports Jupyter notebook out of the box"

I actually like the GUI way of designing in FreeCAD/Fusion 360 (which I wouldn't say about much) but for me it's about the file format on disk. I would love it if they had a sane human-readable format, git-friendly. I appreciate that wouldn't be trivial.

So I'm really interested in learning something like OpenSCAD or CadQuery, even if only for files I can use and read anywhere.

I managed to integrate Jupyter notebook with FreeCAD to get some of both worlds. In the future I'll try to put CadQuery into that mix, also.

thing is freecad or openscad are not good at ergonomics, to the point that editing code is .. not far

The jupyter-cadquery extension renders models with three.js via pythreejs in a sidebar with jupyterlab-sidecar: https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery#b-using-a-do...
