oh also the openaec foundation endorsement means literally nothing, they didn't exist three months ago, their website is all vibecoded, and they linkjacked the name of an existing organisation with the same name incorporated in japan.

AI slop? You can't build stuff like this by hand in a few months.

FreeCAD has become pretty good lately. If you have tested it before v1.1 (March 2026) you should certainly give it a go again.

If you're fine with programming your CAD instead of visually composing it, OpenSCAD is fine as well.
