Today, I started to look around different site of how to make and print 3D models. To be honest with all of you, I haven't the slightest clue of where to begin, nor what to ask. I have been reading and viewing several insightful tutorials but I might be taking in too much at this time.
So, now I'm looking for help from the community as a starting point. And, I thank you all in advance.
What do I need? Downloads? Requirements?
Any information or leads and links would help.
Thanks again and looking forward to spending a lot of time creating 3D models.

Welcome to the front-line. 
You need...
1.) An idea what you want create.
Got one ? Alright...
2.) Tools to realize your idea.
Depending on your skills and/or preferences 3d modelling or CAD software.
"Google Sketchup" and "Blender" are popular freeware.
3.) Tools to check and repair your files.
"netfabb basic" and/or "MeshLab"
4.) Time and patience

Thanks for info.
Since my request, I have been playing around with Sketchup and been successful.
It will be a slow and gradual learning curve and progressing in this manner will definitely allow me to have a better grasp of the tools made available and how to go about using.
Since my first render, I think using Solidworks would be a better and faster solution to what I want to achieve.
Thanks for your help, and wish me luck.
