State Holiday; home with the kids.
Finished a 15hr print: AA/AAA battery holder.
Built a frame for a mold, about finish now... will be used in leather work (not by me).
Gotta research some Cad option as I don’t want to limit myself to TinkerCad. But I’ve had okay results so far, even for the third project and maybe two hours of work...
Doesn’t seem to bad for a ‘no marketable skills,’ ‘obtuse,’ ‘did you google that’ person-
Here's a laundry list of software from a 3DP website.
The names I know off hand here are Blender and LibreCAD
Thanks, I know of both, and will look at the list - Never used Blender but have tinkered with LibreCad. And likely will go that way.

TinkerCAD is really good for making 3d prints with, even for more complex models. If you do need to move up to something like PRO-E or Solidworks, it's gonna get really expensive. I've never gotten the hang of using Blender properly, many have had success with it, so definently check that out as well.
Oh no,.. LOL.. I'll never get to the level where I need to look at AutoCad or Solidworks. This is a hobby - not a job.
Stick with TinkerCAD and use thingiverse models to get something close to what you want. IE: Echo Dot mount combined with a power adapter sleve came in really handy for me.
