Fusion free has a ton of limitations though, namely on model exports and drawing creation and commercial use (so e.g in my case, I can’t use it to make contract models to print and recoup my costs from buying the printer, and I also like to make drawings for everything I model esp. if it requires machining). And I’m extremely not fond of the “cloud” model stuff it depends on.
It admittedly is one of the most affordable subscriptions out there, but it is still a subscription. I use it if I have to, but Autodesk is liable to pull the plug on the free part at any time.
Auto Desk Fusion is free for personal use, and it’s pretty easy once you get familiar with it. I started with Sketchup, though.
