I have a ok laptop but its not the greatest, i want to have something such as a creative outlet that i can do in a simple manner? Ive thought about many of things but im unsure if i should try them? Im stuck inside alot and im bored alot aswell. I just want something to do other than light gaming and watching youtube.

What would you advise and why so?

    I need to learn blender. I got into 3D printers and learnt FreeCAD for parts. It’s very good and easy to use but it lacks complex modelling and I think it runs on one thread only.

      I use freecad for designs that need to be specific sizes and shapes, and Blender for things that don’t need to be too exact…

      Even the pro systems have single threaded portions for modelling. Multi thread, multi processor is only taken advantage of in a few areas, and even then the performance improvement is not drastically different in most tasks

      As long as you don’t need CAD levels of precision, Blender is fine. I still need to use FreeCAD when making enclosures and assemblies but Blender works well if it’s more of a decorative piece. I think they are making an actual CAD mode soon so this might be outdated!
