I've been meaning to try my hand at CAD and designing models to print but I haven't quite made the jump.
One thing that has given me pause is a good CAD program for Linux, does anyone has any good tips for a complete Newbie where to begin?

- Tinkercad (browser) fun and great for very simple projects. Like the MS Paint of 3D.
- OnShape (browser) seemingly pretty powerful, but not the easiest to learn in my experience, and has some annoying bugs.
- Plasticity (desktop) I played around with the free trial and liked it a lot, found it more intuitive than OnShape.
- Womp (browser) not CAD software, but easy to use and great for making free-form/organic looking designs.
- Blender (desktop) not CAD software and haven't used it myself, but I've seen others use it to design 3D prints.
