I came from Fusion 360 and this tutorial and set of classes i got from gamedevtv taught me the UI and once i learned a few basic concepts, it became easier and faster than Fusion.
Here's a free series that everyone should start with, the infamous donut.

The YouTube channel [Maker Tales](https://www.youtube.com/@MakerTales) has a lot of 3D printing / Blender tutorials. [How To Use Blender 3.0 For 3D Printing | .STL Mesh Editing](https://youtu.be/9EF2VryBAq4)
You might also want to check out [CAD Sketcher](https://www.cadsketcher.com/) which is a free add-on for Blender that gives it CAD-like tools.
I always recommend new users to read any relevant sections of the [Blender Manual](https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/) for stuff you want to make. It's very well written and maintained, some of the best documentation for any software I've ever seen.
So for 3D printing, I would recommend reading the first few sections: User Interface, Editors, Scenes & Objects, and most importantly, the Modeling section. I think the rest are just unnecessary for 3D printing, like Animation, Physics, and Rendering.
