I'm finishing building a 120sqft shed in the back yard, learning Fusion 360, and hopefully getting my chronic sinusitis solved.

Poured a slab, designed, framed, used as much reclaimed lumber as I could, and sheathed a lean-to style shed. My first attempt at building a structure, and it's coming out nice. This is to replace the 64sqft 5' shed that a neighbors tree fell on earlier this year, but we really need the extra storage.

I got a Bambu P1S 3D printer for Father's Day to replace an old Ender 3 Pro, and it has just been a dream. TinkerCAD, while amazing and a very capable tool, I'm ready to move on to something else. I tried Plasticity, and it showed a lot of promise but I found it very frustrating, bumped against some missing documentation and ran out of free trial time. Tried FreeCAD 1.0RC/Ondsel, and it's a fantastic piece of software. Yesterday I decided to give Fusion 360 a try and it's just so much more refined. Started the Product Design Online tutorials on Youtube yesterday and the stuff you're building in the first 5 15 minute lessons are frankly amazing.
