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.

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.
Donut tutorial
I actually have used Blender pretty extensively, I was on the Blender forums way back.
I didn’t realize I’d be able to use Blender for the modelling because I assumed the sizing would have to be fairly precise.
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).
