3D printing and coding

3D Printing
There are many different softwares to create 3D objects with. I am using Tinkercad a free online software for 3D printing.
There are many other softwares you can use for 3D printing. Most of them are free however not all are.
One such software is Simplify3d. It will find all errors in anything you make in it and correct it. It is $149 but is more for professionals. It supports about 90% of all 3D printers.
One free site besides Tinkercad is ViewSTL. It is for intermediate users and is web based. With this site you can create your 3D design but can't see it in real time.
Tinkercad is also web based but lets you see your creating in a constant 3D view. It is free and is for beginners and with enough time in Tinkercad you can make it as good as any pro site, because you can create common files for later projects.
