CAD and slicer recommendations?

I've only played around with the windows 3d builder which was pretty simple enough.

Right on!! Welcome to the club!!

For CAD I am using FreeCad, it's free, and pretty powerful with the newest release, they are in the big leagues now.

I have a Bambu printer so I use the Bambu slicer, it is pretty straight forward and you can even edit your models in it. I suppose you can do that with other slicers but this is the only one that I have experience with.

Thanks buddy, I'll check out freecad.

I got prusaslicer and made a profile for the neo2 printer, since they only had the mega settings, got the first print going now.

I did find that the USB/SD card used to load the gcode files actually had a few slicer programs on it, including one from the actual manufacturer. Ah well.

Was that Benchy your first print? I have never printed that. My printer even came with a Benchy outboard motor to make it cooler.
