I will check that out, too. Looks interesting at first glance, not sure 
if it's quite what I'd want, though. From what little I've played with 
it so far and the few videos I've watched, FreeCAD's parametric modeling 
style looks very similar to what I'm used to from my prior engineering 
CAD experience.

One thing I've always hated about CAD... $200 is considered the 
"inexpensive" option. lol

And yes, I've definitely planned on getting one of the Space controllers.
