There are a couple of freeware CAD programs available which have the capablity to create STL files that can then be used by 3D printers.

I would also be interested in joining a group if one is formed.
I use Autodesk Fusion 360, and CURA for slicing, and OctoPI for interfacing with 3D printer (Creality CR-10)
