Yeah, it's cool project, and I'm one of contributors to SolveSpace development ;-) (mostly, tester and idea generator).
SolveSpace not only 3D CAD - it is 2D/3D CAD and CAE too.
I like to make stress tests for SolveSpace and already know many tricks, so if need some help with SolveSpace - ask me! (I often answer on SolveSpace Forum too).
One of most active users of SolveSpace is Eric Buijs[0], that has many videos on his YouTube channel[1] about SolveSpace usage for solving tasks from different CAD challenges and competitions[2], such as "/r/CAD/ Challenge" (I has own archive[3] of those tasks), etc.
> It's really useful, really fast
Agree, it useful for daily work & small 3D printing tasks. But sadly it's not very useful for very big construction that consists of many sub-models yet...
> and very stable
Not so stable. Be careful - while SolveSpace often work like a charm, if you create redundant constrains it could freeze your PC very fast! Just need be careful with constrains and complex models design in SolveSpace.
