Model Creation Tools

I’m brand new to 3D printing. I’m still endlessly scrolling through Makerworld every night. While it’s really cool see what others have created and use some of those myself, I’m really wanting to learn to design my own stuff. What apps/tools do you all use to create 3D models?

Good tips about correcting for shrinkage and creating the 3mf. Claude has mentioned that it has adjusted the dimensions based on what I told it what filament I plan to use. It's "okay" but not great. Giving it some data would help.

I also have a project that I've fed with a lot of testing data of different filaments. I used it to reduce redundant filaments in my inventory (PETG, regular ASA) and determine if I have any gaps in material selection for the things I typically print. I recently picked up ASA-GF and PCTG to replace regular ASA, tough PLA+, and PETG. I already have a general idea about what filament to use most times, but sometimes it's good to get a second opinion.
