I'll have to try this, and see how it compares with my Rhino3D+Cura workflow.

If completely new to 3D software, the models shown in the article are too complicated to make without the basic skills. Luckily there are good video tutorials on youtube.

I'm currently in the very start trying to learn to use FreeCAD myself this days. Nb: be aware that many of the tutorials are dated more than 2 years ago, and the GUI has changed since then (e.g. when importing images or svg files). One channel I follow to learn is the "mangojelly solutions" that have a ton of good videos out there.

As an extra bonus, the official forum for FreeCAD has being a good source for help, since even by following tutorials blindly, there are situations you can get stuck into.
