I'm trying to learn CAD and 3d printing.

For the moment, I'm trying to design a shell for my car key fob. I keep leaning on the buttons and setting the car alarm off; I also never need to touch the buttons on the fob, because the car has a button for me to lock / unlock it as long as the fob is in my pocket.

I'm sure it's a trivial project for someone who has experience with CAD and 3d printing; but for me, where my hobbies in my adult life involved either programming or woodworking, it's a new adventure.

I tried using Microcad, which was on HN about a month ago. I really like it, but it's still too early for me to design what I need to design.
