Hello! I am new to 3D printing and a little overwhelmed with the options for design software. Any tips on which one to use? I want to make Mickey ears that will attach to headbands. They will either be an open hoop design or have something in the middle! Any info appreciated!

I recommend FreeCAD 7, as for a beginner. FreeCAD is a parametric 3D modeler built for product design and engineering. Feature rich and with a high learning curve, FreeCAD is rather for advanced users. This software and resource for online help with homework 2 assist me in one of my college projects. It’s free and multi-platform (Windows. Linux, MacOS).
