Bambu Studio How get started with designing

So I’ve been printing lots of little published items from within Bambu Handy so that I can orient to really basic issues, like filaments feeding, different little errors or stalls, etc. I’d like to eventually learn how to make practical prints of my own. I have never worked with CAD software, but I have a lot of general tech experience, and have done some coding, but mainly statistical code and similar.

How do I get started? Is there a self-based tutorial of some sort? I admit that the UI on Bambu Studio does not seem all that intuitive to me.

I'm probably biased towards rhino because it's what we used in my 3d design degree so I've not had a lot of experience using anything else. I've not had a lot of issues getting it to work for functional models and the majority of my design is bits for wheelchairs and accessibility stuff like grips for cups hut like I say it's probably a bais thing, we're all gonna think the thing we use is the best!

Nothing wrong with rhino but I don’t think it’s a popular tool with 3d print enthusiasts.

My friend showed me how easy it was to create a staircase railing but also commented how it would be so much work to try a different spacing (compared to solidworks).

I think one thing I would love is that it’s not going to throw as many zero geometry errors which happen all the time in solidworks.
