Fusion 360: the price I'm paying for effectively hobby projects(and ones I occasionally publish for free if I feel someone would benefit from them) is absurd. No other cad software comes even close to being as easy and as flexible though so I'm accepting it for the time being.

Can you not use the "free for hobbyists" license? Autodesk make it unreasonably hard to renew it, instead dark-patterning you into upgrading to the paid tier. (Unless of course you need paid tier features) I agree on the easy to use front though. I'm trying to move to freecad but it hasn't had its blender moment yet.

That's what I used for a long time but it was way too restrictive: like I can have 10 saved designs at a time with their entire timeline in case I wanted to go back or modify/improve anything. And converting an STL back into a solid doesn't give the best results and adds a lot of overhead. So until something better pops up, I have no other choice but to pay for it.
