If you are used to building physical models, one thing to help you start is a program like Pixelogic's Sculptris.  And you can always scan objects you like (with a Kinect for instance), then modify and re-mix them!

Taking a class on engineering in Solid Works or a MAYA modeling class might be just as helpful.

I might see if they offer any CAD classes at night.

After you print enough of other people's creations, I can certainly guarantee you that you will want to create some of your own smile

Especially if its some sort of part that needs replacing or a specific use that you have!

Welcome to the community!

I'm sure Ill be spending alot of time in this forum as the solidoodle is going to be my first 3d printer. Also I know absolutely jack squat about drawing and CAD. I'm mainly interested in printing off things from the web(thingiverse, 3d warehouse, shapways, ect.) I have been doing 3d casting with liquid resin and silicon for a while now and am excited to see what the future holds.

Nice to meet y'all smile
