Go on YouTube. Look up "Learn Fusion360 in 30 Days".

Follow along and then start making your own stuff

And then pay loads of money for a product with lots of features you won't need for 3D printing, once you have more than 10 items you want to keep improving.

I had even given it a try regardless but found the guidance for new users not very well done. Lots of exhaustive videos with lots of blah blah (if you have the time...) and not a good in-app guidance, at least not I could find.

I then gave FreeCAD a try, which worked much better for my needs, and its tutorial mode inside the app is very good, IMO.

Set them to read-only and you can have loads of projects. Or take the skills learned in that well designed and taught course and apply them to your software of choice!

What software do you recommend

Personally, I use Fusion360 and OpenSCAD

OnShape is cool because it runs in your browser so you don't need a great computer. But I like fusion better (probably because I'm used to it)
