I use only Blender for 3D printing.

It's feature set isn't great for accurate mechanical engineering where you can find the measurement for every bit nice and easy. It really is "Connect the Dots 3D". It is more of a "make a cool digital object" thing.

But for example, I can take an object, turn it to "goo", play forward 5 seconds of animation and 3D print a "melted" version of that object. I mean, I don't know why you would, but you can.

Blender enables artistic possibilities for objects in ways that FreeCAD doesn't.

But you can use both!
