If you want to try using Blender I recommend this video to check out if that's the road you want to go:

Learn Blender for 3D Printing - Complete Quick and Easy Guide (Beginner)

Depending on your experience you might check out existing models on sites like printables.com or thingiverse.com

While not for 3D printing specifically, Andrew Price's donut tutorial on YouTube is a great primer for learning to use Blender and all is basic functions.
