I really want to love this software to break free of Solidworks and completely cut off Windows. That said, the UI needs some kind of overhaul to be a little more beginner friendly. I spent way too much time just trying to make a washer for a simple print. Are there any mods I can try to get it closer to work like Solidworks?
