Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
There's OpenSCAD, but I don't think it's exactly what you mean
https://openscad.org/

Help for the mentally challenged! I am trying to find easy software to create this drawing and export it as a 3d printer file. And going slightly mad as 3d software is different... Any advice welcome please.
For something this simple you can use OpenSCAD (https://openscad.org). It's free and pretty easy to learn. Below are the two commands required to produce the solid object indicated by the picture. The application can export anything you create as an STL.

code to design
Are you asking about something like https://openscad.org which allows you to code your model? An example of its use can be seen in the OpenFlexure project.

Free 3D Modeling Software not web-based?
I use OpenSCAD. https://openscad.org - it's what the Thingiverse Customizer is based on (and if you upload .scad files to Thingiverse, the Customizer works for your design too).

Generative AI for 3D Modeling and Printing
One tool many people use for parametric modeling is OpenSCAD which is very utilitarian and has methods for constructing 3d and 2d geometry (and 3d from 2d such as extrusion).

Just bought my first 3D printer
OpenSCAD is free and open source. It's great for creating functional parts. Its input .scad files are just plain text files.

Remove text
Download OpenSCAD from https://openscad.org and that NameTag.scad file from Thingiverse. Open the scad file in OpenSCAD, and use OpenScad’s text editor or Customizer view to replace ‘your name’ hit ‘Render’ then export to STL. Print the STL.

Tech bro needs hobby suggestion :p
You'll feel right at home with OpenSCAD ("The programmer's solid 3D CAD modeller)

New Prusa Owner (MK4)
Yea. Parametric is the right world. That would be very nice to have. Almost every single Parametric model (example) on Printables is on F360 (or the older ones in OpenSCAD - but they haven't done a new release in years now).

KiCad Version 7.0.0 Released
I use app.ultralibrarian.com and snapeda.com. There is also https://github.com/DasBasti/lcsc2kicad that automates downloading and converting footprints from LCSC for Kicad to use. It is handy as well.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing pyscad and lcsc2kicad you can also consider the following projects:
manifold - Geometry library for topological robustness
horizon - Horizon is a free EDA package
kicad_scripts - Utility Kicad scripts
KiBot - KiCad automation utility
kicad-plugins - Miscellaneous plugins for KiCad
tp-vector - Library for generating SVG files for laser cutters.
SolidPython - A python frontend for solid modelling that compiles to OpenSCAD
Bottle - Bottle sample script installed with Fusion
kumomta - The first Open-Source high-performance MTA developed from the ground-up for high-volume email sending environments.
