I teach high school, and we just got some 3D printers from a school that failed. For these, we need a 3D design program that's easy to learn (the students have the engineering class once per week) and produces .STL files (or something else that can be turned into G-code to drive the printers.)

Does anybody here have any recommendations? I need something easy enough for a high school kid to produce something like a helical gear or a spoked wheel without spending all year learning the program.

And cost is an object. We don't have the budget for CATIA :-(
