So I was thinking of designing a yoyo, and not sure how to go about this. Not only do I not know what software to use, I don’t know how. I have freecad, but I am lost!
Emachineshop is a great one that I personally use. It’s pretty simple to use and is a decent software I think.
Wow, this is really confusing. ALl i can do is use the button to draw a circle for me.
It takes a little while to get use to but EMS is the easiest and a simple CAD software I’ve seen
How do I change the circle to 3d?
Have you tried sketch up? it used to be owned by Google, and now it with Trimble. but they still have a free version.

God I hate the student version… It’s terrible, I would recommend anything else
