Because It Is Hard

After a fair evaluation between Rhino8 and PUF360... (Personal Use F360)
I have determined Rhino8 is useable but far more complex than needed for the creation of 3D printable items. I will continue to "play" with Rhino8 as I already own it and I am able to produce nice designs. However, the effort is far more tough and time consuming than designing with PUF360 and Onshape.
My Enjoyment of CAD

I do the three-dimensional printing because I enjoy the creative process of the design. Learning how to use the printer is the same as using any tool. The printer is not creative. It’s a tool. The artist’s paint brush does not create art. It simply carries the paint to the canvas.
The 3D printer is the same. It is a tool that melts plastic and applies it to the build table. It has no control of the Item design it is making if the design is within the capabilities of the tool.
A carpenter does not use a saw to drive a nail.

Maybe I am going nuts. I just designed this container/bowl in the shape of an oak tree acorn. This is an original design from me, but I feel certain it isn’t the first of it’s design. The acorn design has seen many applications and uses in art and crafted items. Many uses in military regalia.
This is designed in Fusion 360. It has three major parts. The removable cap, which is the lid. The acorn nut which is the bowl. Then the stand in which the bowl stands upright.

Choosing quality over quantity is my constant resolve with 3D printing.
I have always had a bit of a personal guilt feeling making figuratively tons of plastic printed junque. (junk). Just because I could.
There is a place for some of that. The problem for me is plastic has an intrinsic low-value (cheap) aura. It’s been hard for me to feel that something I have made from plastic is going to have a long-term value.
