Hey all, I’ve been reading the various posts here and also on FB about the “best” software to use. My situation is: No past experience with CAD/CAM software but I understand the difference between CAD and CAM and am generally very tech literate. Want to avoid Windows. I am a home hobbyist, not l…

@rgoldino Yeah Lars videos are all older videos but I found his CAM tutorial to be a good primer for how to take your design from CAD to gcode. There are a bunch of good folks with comprehensive tutorial libraries. Kevin Kennedy is another good one - and The Woodgrafter has a series of Fusion for Wo…

Another good source to learn Fusion 360 for Makers is “I Like To Make Sutff” on YouTube. He has created a full set of video’s and he is using a recent version of Fusion 360. They are a bit costly at $120 for the set, but hoping they go on Black Friday sale or something. https://iliketomakestuff.pod…

@MindOfMcClure I actually have this up on my screen right now! Hoping to start off with the free content on YouTube and see how far I get, then I will think about investing in something like this.

@ACNailedit I signed up for Brandon’s free “Make a Bed in Fusion360” course a while back but haven’t got around to actually going through it yet.

One more link (not sponsored) that had exactly what I was looking for is the CNC & CAM course by Brandon Cullum of the Make or Break Shop . I’ve already done his furniture design course in the past, and his courses are awesome - full of detail, examples, key commands and thoughful projects - well wor…

This looks great @mkngjoy . Keep 'em coming! :slight_smile:
