2 prints, swapped after the last solid infill on the bottom, and before the first solid infill on the top.

The commercial alternative to blender is software like Maya. But I too struggled with Blender, however I feel that's because 3D modelling is different from CAD, since modelling is like molding clay into the shape you want it in, rather than accurately measuring it out like in CAD.

Yeah Fusion is the way to go, especially if you are learning. Lots of hate for it around here, due to Autodesk endlessly changing their policies. But there's no point in learning the basics when you don't know if it's you... or the software.

But if your issue is just navigating the 3D space in FreeCAD, you can set it such that it's the same in TinkerCAD/Fusion 360. FreeCAD calls it Revit, and you can set it in the lower right corner. Hold you mouse over it to show tool tips.

In my view CAD is always worth learning, especially if you understand what prints best on your printer.

FreeCAD is basically the worse possible beginners tools. Don't get me wrong when you learn it, it's good and comparable to professional CAD software. But the learning curve is dumb.

Learn the basics first. TinkerCAD is free (from Autodesk) and will get you started. But if you want something which would take you further Fusion360 is fantastic for beginners.

The workflow of CAD is as follows. Sketch -> Action -> Sketch -> Action. Lets say you want to make a box with a hole in it. Sketch the outer box -> Extrude it -> Sketch the inner box -> Extrude/Cut it.

BluRay is just a data format. PS3 games are just encrypted, which means with a modded PS3 you can back it up.

Same process in order to play it on RCPS3

PS2/PS1 throw it into a DVD player Ron a PC and rip it.

PS3 you'd need to homebrew it. Same process to get the files ready to play on RCPS3

This is a game from 2007, I doubt there are new/replacement discs. That said it appears to be functional so we'll see.

Don’t vote, don’t get to complain.

Not saying that you have to vote when you dislike the options given. But you do have other options. Like spoiling your ballot, or nullify your ballot.

Yes the results are the same, but by voting this way, you are actively participating in your democratic process. While not voting at all you are not. And if you do not participate, in my view, you cannot complain about the results.

Oh and if you don’t know how, on election day just ask the poll workers. They should’ve been trained on how to handle it.

Yeah, we'll see. I presume it'll be fine... Or cool enough not to melt the PLA
