Hello community, I’ll try to be brief. My 13 year old son got a 3d printer as a gift, and I’d like to learn alongside him. We have 0 experience. However, I am a data scientist, so lots of professional Python experience, if that helps. We’re a foss/Linux family so my questions are:
What tools are the best to learn for 3d printing for me? I am ready to learn CAD programming. Can you all recommend a tech stack and resources to learn it?

OpenSCAD is great, but with Python experience I’d recommend taking a look at CadQuery.

It’s not ideal, no, but I find it better than OpenSCAD for the simple reason that it’s inside of a complete programming language. But that’s rarely needed so, eh?
I don’t know what my ideal code-first solution would look like, but at least there’s multiple options!
