Thanks for the tip about FreeCAD. I actually love OpenSCAD and have developed a really nice workflow in VS Code using some extensions (format on save, live preview, GitHub Copilot, etc.), but I would still like to learn some other tools as well. It looks like FreeCAD can do some really advanced things.

I have no experience with it yet but I have build123d[1] in my list of stuff to check out, it's basically OpenSCAD but in python and it seems quite more powerful (plus, fillets/chamfers/etc are built-in). It also seems to have VSCode integration through OCP CAD Viewer.
