I'm starting to get more interested in building more complex things, but am unsure how to plan out my ideas. Is there a good source on drafting/planning designs? I honestly have no idea where to start.

CAD software is probably want you want to look at, I used FreeCAD for woodworking and floorplans some years ago, not sure how good it is for 3D printing/modeling since I regrettably haven't gotten into either of them but I did get a lot of use out of it for 2D designs.
