the old cura was quite good. But then they completely redesigned it and since then it's been really horrible.

The last user friendly version was: 15.04.6
here's a list of al releases: https://ultimaker.com/en/products/ul...-software/list

I'm using Solidworks. That's what I advise..

I will suggest you some of these best 3D modeling softwares - LibreCAD, TinkerCAD, Blender and SketchUp etc.

If you can afford a license, Solidworks. The next best thing is Rhinoceros, it is great with meshes as well.
For a nice free and quick solution use Sculptris.
I use Blender to boolean away shapes, say create a flat bottom. That is about what I know in Blender, steep learning curve indeed.

@Ralphzoontjens, I agree with you, Sculptris is also a good option and the best thing is that it is free. Most of the educational institutes use Sculptris for educational and enrichment purposes.
