I&#039;ve always gotten response from him to my questions on the same day</p><p>If you want something that&#039;s easier to pick up, you can try SketchUp (though I&#039;ve always had trouble exporting SketchUp models to print). </p><p>I also recommend going on Thingiverse (thingiverse.com), finding a model you like, importing it into Blender/MoI/Sketchup and tweaking it. A lot of times there&#039;s no need to create things from scratch. There are some pretty cool stuff on Thingiverse that you can use as a base template.</p>]]></description>
