I believe that most, if no tall of the ones that i listed, should be free, or at least have a very useful free version. Freecad I have heard a lot of though, and I see a lot of video tutorials on it, so it would be a good option!

FreeCAD is open source, free, and recently released a big update that made it much better. Fusion is in a enshittification spiral.

@asbestos @cosmicrookie second the FreeCAD recommend. Started with it as a complete beginner and really enjoy it

I’ll third it, I used Solidworks before, freecad was fairly easy to adapt to before the 1.0 release, workflow is even nicer now, trying to convince my dad to move to freecad over paying for a sw subscription now that he’s retired.
