I am looking for recommendations for cad software for our library's 3D
printer. Preferably running on Linux. I guess something that emits the
.STL format.
(
So, the 8 year old got a drone for his lockdown birthday. It came with 4
propeller guards. It took 2 days to waste all of those. Go to amazon
to buy more...
$35 for 4 pieces of injected molded plastic!!! These cost < 1 cent to
make. They could even just be waste spars from something else. I was
super pissed as I laid out my $38 with 2 month delivery.

I won't be ordering more of those. Hopefully the library reopens and I
can print these simple parts before we waste the 4 we're getting.

You're a POV-Ray guy. Use OpenSCAD.

I would have made some from coat hanger wire by now....

Try FreeCAD too, it's working well together with OpenSCAD.
When you import OpenSCAD-scripts into FreeCAD it's producing NURBS-Data out of
it and you can even export the objects as STEP or IGES.
OpenSCAD need to be installed on the system to open OpenSCAD-scripts into
FreeCAD and it's not working, if you import .STL-Files within the Script.
For the beginning have a look into the "Part"-workbench to model the objects and
the "Mesh design"-workbench to produce the necessary mesh-objects for your
STL-export at the end of the process.
See some tutorials on youtube for it.
Best rgds,
Holger

BTW. what kind of 3D-Printer you have in your library? I'm just asking, because
I was printing some parts on a resin-based printer, using tough-material.
This might be a solution. The frames won't break anymore.
