What are your favorite resources to recommend for beginners?

I’m wanting to get interested for doing a cyberdeck case, and/or custom cluster racks for Raspberry Pi’s but any and all newbie resources would be appropriate for this question.

      I’ve used Blender, Fusion360, and Google Sketch. So I’m somewhat familiar with 3d modelling. I guess I was thinking more along the lines of Hardware but Software compatibility is a good topic to cover as well.

        If you are familiar with Blender and F360 you will have no issues producing models to print. Maybe some mesh fixes but most slicers will manage to produce something printable if there is nothing too egregious. Dealing with overhangs, print tolerances and fine tuning will all come when you start printing, there are some pretty good links posted here already. Prusa even has some ebooks (some free, some you can buy or be active on printables to get) that may be useful (they look to be but I haven’t checked them out myself). What excactly do you mean by hardware recommendations/tips? Are you looking for printer recommendations, setup suggestiong (enclosures for ABS printing, Rpi and octoprint to control/monitor etc) or tools/materials? In any case most of these will vary depending on what is available to you in your area but again when you start using your printer the needs/areas to improve will become aparent. I really would recommend you dive in and ave fun. Any trouble you encounter along the way there will probably be resources to help and, if not, asking here will more than likely get you most of the way there.
