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.

If you are planning 3D designs, Fusion360 takes a bit of getting used to but is extremely powerful.

You can register for a free hobby license for the scaled down version, or a free educational license of the full version. It has good CAD capabilities and on the CAM side can generate g-code for 3D printing and CNC, or else allow you to export STL models direct to a slicer.
That sounds awesome. I’ve never used CAD software but I might as well start, and also I have access to a 3d printer, so I might as well learn something for that as well. I’ll give it a try!
