Back in college, I had a few classes on CAD (mostly for engineering design), and I became decently proficient with CATIA, SolidWorks, and Autodesk Inventor. Now that I’m getting into 3D printing, I’m coming back to CAD and finding my skills pretty rusty.
I plan to use FreeCAD as my main tool. Could anyone please recommend some tutorials that I can complete that would give me a solid working knowledge of FreeCAD and help me brush up on CAD in general?
JokoEngineering had some good videos though they are starting to be dated.
CAD CAM Lessons
OffsetCAD
Deltahedra
Adventures in Creation
FCB Lounge

For someone with zero experience (meeeeee!!!), which would you recommend?
I’m not an idiot but I have no idea where to even begin. I have a 3D printer and I will need to make small, somewhat simple parts for a couple of projects I’m working on.
I can’t say one or the other definitively, I think it depends on who you like listening to the best. What I would do though is try to do one short tutorial a day for a while instead of longform videos. That tends to yield better learning results.
That said I forgot 3kkk which has a nice 100 quick tutorial. They are pre V1.0 but should still be useful!
