[Lab] New free 3D modeler from Autodesk

[Darcy Whyte]

Looks pretty nice. I tried it on my laptop (
http://mambohead.com/2011/05/autodesk-supports-makers/)

Didn't work since it's a couple years old.

I may try it on a desktop. Or wait till I buy another laptop (I've got three
now that are all working so that might be six months minimum).

Anybody use it to make stuff yet?
