Question: Do you have a Chihiros Heater Pro, and like me, think the included holder is crap? Well, I modeled an improved version (at least I think it's improved). Tinkercad link to: Chihiros Heater Pro Holder

I have a 3d printer, but have yet to venture into the world of modeling items myself. Where do you learn to do such things - as in, is there a website or program?

While I was never a CAD designer, a career in engineering has had me around various CAD applications for a long time. I only dabbled in it when I needed to though, so I'm not very skilled. Tinkercad is a web based app that makes it easy for many with little to no CAD experience to create models. There are a number of Youtube channels dedicated to teaching and demonstrating how to use it. If you get comfortable with it, you may choose to move up to something with a little more chops like Autodesk Fusion.
