Tip: I find OpenSCAD to be more approachable than mouse-based 3D mechanical CAD because you only have to figure out how to mathematically describe the object (e.g. understanding what platonic solids you need to compose in order to build up the complex shape you want), rather than doing that and having to learn how to navigate around in 3D space and figure out all the tool interfaces.

My brain doesn't like geometric math at all. I used to be fine at it, but I work in IT/networking, and binary math has taken over most of my brain. Working with math stuff in a complex plane is not what I would say, is a fun time for my brain.

I'm currently learning onshape. It's going okay.
