My little 12 year old brother got an Ender 3 for Christmas last year. He’s learning Fusion 360 in his free time now

I sincerely wish I had this head start. I think cad should be a technical elective at all middle and high schools.
I learned cad right after college. So many jobs wanted experience in that skill. I was fortunate enough to get a free solidworks subscription through my first job, the introduction textbook, the online lessons, etc and I’m still no master. Solid modeling is an unbelievably satisfying and relaxing process.
Tell your brother a random dude on the internet thinks he’s cool. Millenials love that shit.

For me it felt like an extension to building stuff, which I have loved since I was a kid, with the advantage that now I can build assemble, visualize and go through 100 of iterations and arrive at a much better design that what I could possibly do in real life.
I like craftsmanship and spontaneous art but like repeatability more.
