I know that Windows 10 has included a free 3D drawing program called Paint 3D for a while, but I have to confess I have never even looked at it until today.

With the latest (April/May 2019) update to W10 I thought I would have a look through the changes – and discovered it will connect to a 3D printer.

Has anyone had chance to look at this? Is it worth experimenting with?

As a newcomer to 3D printing (2 weeks with a Creality Ender 3) it certainly seems to be a far simpler system than Cura – and in any case my 3D CAD of choice is FreeCAD and Cura is broken in my version.

Thanks Dave – I wasn't wanting to draw from Paint £D, but wondering if it could act as a slicer/printer controller.

Being so new to the subject of 3D printing, I wondered if there was any experience here on the forum I could pick on – I am still only struggling up the foothills of the FreeCAD learning curve and did not wish to be distracted from learning that if Paint 3D was no use.
