Learning to design in 3D

[iDig3Dprinting]

I have Photoshop, Illustrator and Sketch up which I really haven't used but I need to learn HOW to design things in 3D. Can anyone recommend a good starting point for designs for the M3D printer?

The only way to learn it is just to get in there and start designing something. Start simple and build on each model. It helps to think of designing things in a very modular way.

Thanks for the responses. I have picked up a few designs on Thingverse so I can get a better idea of what can be done with the little M3D printer. I printed a miniature chair (for a 1:48 scale house) and it worked a treat! I am finding that different colors and materials seem to work differently. Glad there is a forum available to ask questions.
