Onshape is a next generation CAD product from the original creators of Solidworks. It is backed by infinite computing, extremely user friendly, and if you have ever used CAD, I highly recommend you go through the tutorials at learn.onshape.com
I got through them in just a few hours, and even though I have been using Onshape full-time for over a year I still learned some tricks.

I have always had a hard time with math, especially calculus. Mostly I think because my attention would drift during class, and next thing I know I was missing an important foundational concept that the rest of the course built on. Then I could never move beyond that concept. Enter Youtube. Nancy at mathbff is really good in her instruction method at explaining concepts. Plus she captivates your attention with her lovable personality. You know how they say to find a teacher that matches your learning style, well this is a formula for success! :D

Tom’s guide is one of the most popular 3d printing Youtube channels out there. If you want to know where the Print Whisperer learns a lot of his tips, well this is where. :D
