Maybe I’m an oddball here, being just a hobbyist and not an actual engineer doing things, like, mathematically or whatever; I just use Blender and fiddle around until I have shapes I want, export that to a format my slicer can read and then the slicer does all the other actual work of making it printable.
It would be easy as hell to take a spheroid, make it football shaped, and then hollow out the middle and cut off both ends, then go and punch out holes to make the mesh pattern. At least in Blender.
I just taught myself by playing around with the program years ago. I think it even has built in video links to learn, these days. The official website has resources like that to help, too.

Any videos on this. I feel like the way I use blender is really inefficient
