New from MONTREAL
Cold weather on the way.. son will have plenty of time to learn and practice...

Although still not sure on the software to use... I should be doing cad type parts and sculpting...
Blender seens good but so large to learn to use...
123D build seen to work but will ask for meshmixer to print... cant get meshmixer to work on my laptop...

free software would be great or Under 100$... blender is free but like I said soo large.. can you print right from blender?

DesignSpark Mechanical is a parametric 3D design tool. It's based on a commercial package called SpaceClaim. It's NOT a PCB program. You're confusing it with DesignSpark PCB.
