Here is a list of the free tools I am using for 3D printing:

• OpensCad (3D CAD/Modeling)
  
• Cura (Slicing)
  
• MeshMixer
  

Here are some example projects:

• Openscad_models (Github)

This is for instance my first lampshade:



This was Modeled with openscad, the voronoi-like pattern was added with Autodesk meshmixer, the model was then sliced with Ultimaker Cura 3.4.1 and printed on anycubic i3 mega at 0.3mm (quick) at 200° PLA on 60° heat-bed using a build-plate adhesion (still visible at the bottom).




The model is freely available on Thingieverse.
I then got a Meross RGB wifi lamp from Amazon and connected it to a powercord.
