#CADSketcher is a constraint-based sketcher extension for #Blender that allows users to create precise 2D shapes by defining a set of geometric constraints like tangent, distance, angle, equal and more. Sketches stay editable and support a fully non-destructive workflow.

It's done!
A drying rack for an #Aeropress coffee maker.
#CADSketcher was a pleasure to use. It will be my go-to parametric modelling tool now. Very nice.
I'm trying out #CADSketcher (https://www.cadsketcher.com/, a blender plugin), and I'm loving it so far.
All the control of parametric modelling, and all the blender modifiers I'm used to.
Stay tuned for the finished product. :)
I gave #CADSketcher a go for making a box for dog scent training and this thing is def good enough for my needs, whuxh are mostly relatively simple models for #3DPrinting.
It's a free, open source #Blender plug-in that adds parametrized modeling capabilities. I've been wanting to level up from TinkerCAD but I'm not ready to make myself dependent on a service like #Fusion360. Plus I'm happy to have any excuse to get more familiar with Blender.
The only program that works well on linux and is industry standard for some industry is #blemder, but that is mesh modeling, and even with the #CADSketcher add on, it won't be good enough for you. I can't speak for #freecad unfortunately.
I switched to linux full time 2 years ago, but unlike you, the transition was extraordinary smooth sailing since I'm a computer science major so most of the same tools exist, and its more beneficial to be on #Linux.
Unfortunately, a lot of professional software isn't made for linux unless its open sourced. For software development, linux is amazing. For most people who just use a word processor and the browser, linux works just fine. Linux works for most games as well. Professional software is the one area we're lacking.
I broke the headband clip of my Everbrite LED Headlamp a while back, so I designed a 3D-printable clip-on fix so I could start using it again.
Designed in #Blender using the #CADSketcher plugin.
One of the pieces that holds the headlamp onto the headband of my Everbrite LED Headlamp broke, rendering it completely unusable as a hands-free headlamp. I designed this as an attachment to the original headlamp bracket to reinforce and replace the part that broke off. This is printed as a two-part print to ensure the strongest structure in the right places. The clip can press into the plate with a tight fit (glue shouldn't be necessary).
#CADsketcher came out for #blender! If you're interested in #3dprinting and #cad this is for you! It's still in early development, but it's usable with a workaround every now and then.
Another great thing for Blender that makes 3D printing way easier for me. I'm looking forward to my free time in 3 weeks or so as I'll try to make some models for my 3D printer.
Take a look, it's a great thing!
