Why did you work on broken software instead of architect structures?
If I put in even an hour a day on either one I'd see some progress. Things move slowly. I can't just get up out of a chair; I have to first think about how to get up without hurting myself, then lean forward until I'm looking at the floor, lift with my legs and then stand upright. Yikes, I'm starting sound like Xist.

I'm making incremental progress in Blender. Things react in unexpected ways and there are known unknown shortcuts and keyboard equivalents to learn. But it's free.

For physical structures, the current new thing (truncated 3v octahedron) could be built with ~$352 in materials -- 22ea 1.5"x12' aluminum pipe). I just bought a box of soda straws to make a model for $1.25.
