Looking for free 3d designing software, something easy and intuitive almost that functions like MS paint. Draw shapes the set dimensions. I've tried blender and haven't had luck being any good with it. Again just want to make some shapes set dimensions and then slice and print it

Onshape has a free hobby license. It's pretty easy to use and has lots of tutorials. You can draw a shape that you want and then extrude it into 3 dimensions.

Tinkercad

But you should tell us what it is that you want to make

FreeCAD for GUI, OpenSCAD for programatic.
