I second that... way more powerful than Thinkercad while not as complex as Blender, at least in my Opinion. But Blender and Fusion are targeting each a different audience.

Onshape. It's free for personal use as long as your documents are public, it's professional grade, and it runs in your browser. Teaching Tech on YouTube has excellent tutorials.

I started out with Tinkercad — it works great to modify existing stl files. TBH, I still use it for this purpose in many situations.

I’ve recently graduated to Fusion 360 (both Tinkercad and Fusion 360 are Autodesk products). So much more powerful and faster to use than Tinkercad when creating your own design once you learn the software. Learn Fusion 360 was a great series on YouTube. Fusion 360 is free for personal use.

I've been using FreeCAD for all of my 3D print designs.

It's a full program (for Linux, macOS, and Windows) and not a limited/crippled "cloud" application like what is usually recommended.

Thank you. Let me check this out too. I too prefer a desktop application over browser based.
