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.

You can definitely make accurate models. Its a little more unforgiving than CAD if you need to go back and fix something, but you can definitely make precise models for functional prints if you do it right (such as inputting specific measurements when doing extrusions, etc).
