FreeCAD all the way for me. I started 3D design with no background at all. After 6months and a few (hundred) foreign youtube videos iv got it all the stuff I need mastered. Its pretty good for parametric stuff if you take the extra design time. And can convert and export loads of different types of files unlike some free software. And I've not managed to create a duff mesh yet unlike half the files people send me to print... Did I mention it took me about 2 weeks to make my first model?! Ah well if CAD was self explanatory, everyone would want a go!
