I'm currently getting by with a mixture of Design Spark Mechanical, FreeCAD, and OpenSCAD for prototyping/editing files, I'd love to find a good alternative that isn't from a predatory company like Autodesk

I've mostly switched from Fusion to Onshape. Fusion does have features Onshape doesn't have, but most of them are beyond the needs of someome designing models for 3D printing.

Onshape seems to respect their users, and Autodesk treats you like shit. Fusion has all sorts of logic errors that cause it to perform terribly or crash. And it still has all sorts of weird DPI display issues.

So, I corroborate your impressions. I don't think you have to give Fusion a fair shake, your impression is spot-on.
