Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

I got a 3d printer (bambu p1s per someone's recommendation here) but the bambu software allows very little in the realm of adjusting a print (size for example is mostly what I can do).

I've been heavily overwhelmed looking into a 3d software editing platform to adjust prints. I don't have the capacity to learn multiple softwares, but I heard blender does pretty poorly in creating prints with hard dimensions.

While I do like to explore the realm of figurines and characters to print, I tend to use my printer for more engineered prints, things I measure and need a replacement for, or to fill in the need of something I'm I'm constructing.

This is where Adobe got most of the positive reviews for a 3d software that's best of both worlds. Creative and engineered. While blender is heavily leaning towards creative.

FreeCAD is an option, but it's a bit of a mess. Does the job though!
