My (first?) 3d printer arrives tomorrow. I’ve been researching for months. One category I’ve been looking into is 3d modeling software. They all have drawbacks (too expensive, too hard to learn, save files in the cloud, etc) but the one that seems to fit the best is this apparently new one called Plasticity. I’d be willing to spend the $150 and then decide after a year if I want to re-up or just keep the current version. Or maybe I’d upgrade every few years or something.

Anyway, there are a bunch of great reviews and tutorials but they’re all over a year old, from when looks like the software was first released.

I’m wondering if anyone here has experience with it and could advise if it’s worth the $150.

    Unfortunately, not all functions are available in the linux version. However, this is not due to the developers but to the specifications so that they are allowed to implement xnurbs etc… In other words, you would have to run it via wine, but that works wonderfully. Even so, updates with fixes or new functions etc. come regularly. Had also bought it because of 3d printing and was completely new to 3d printing and 3d software. Can only recommend it.
