TinkerCad

If you have not already used TinkerCad then I would begin here. It is a simple online 3D modeling program available for free. The basic concept being you form shapes and holes to cut shapes. You can stick shapes and holes together to make new shapes. Exports are available as STL (for 3D printing) and SVG (Usable for the Laser cutter)
