    I do like openscad but I must be using it wrong because it slows to a crawl when trying to array my models

      Maybe you can reduce the $fn parameter while you arrange your models and increase it once you’re done? That’s the most common thing I encountered.

      There are some config flags you can set which might improve render times, maybe play around a little.

      All in all it will take a long time to create meshes because most of the compute is done on CPU. For me it’s very fast once it’s done rendering, so I try not to render too often.
