Solvespace
Watch a few of these to get started, skip ahead as needed. It’s got some limitations but leagues ahead of freecad in terms of UI and workflow.

The existence of foss projects should never exclude the creation of alternatives if someone wants to try.
Try solvespace. Freecad UI is a mess. Hopefully they fix it one day.
Wow. Thank fuck I love somewhere where unions are an accepted and appreciated concept.
I think this is rather location dependent. Here in Aus a lot of people I know use them. Just some more anecdotal evidence.
DOIs or GTFO
I’m not an expert in this stuff but my whole life I have been told to avoid eating mammals that primarily eat meat. Eating a fox just seems wrong, especially when there are so many good to eat rabbits.
If you have a bunch of v2s try this. https://github.com/openmiko/openmiko
Plus you can flash wrt to a lot of the TP-Link stuff including the access points. I haven’t looked in ages but I remember that most or all ubiquity stuff was locked down.
Purely anecdotal but in my experience unify is overpriced garbage. Had a dream machine die at 13 months and could only get an, it’s out of warranty, buy a new one response. Looking at the internals it was pretty clear they were never designed with any service in mind.
They also force you into plenty of cloud bullshit. They lost my password hash for my local device because they fucked up some cloud transfer. If I didn’t have an SSH key I would have been screwed.
It takes a bunch of time and tech know-how but foss has been a much better solution. Have a openwrt pi4 router, truenas server and switched my Wyze cams to openmiko firmware. Far better than anything offered by these prosumer companies.
Fucking gold!
