http://www.ualberta.ca/~cwant/blender/stl.py is a plugin to export STL
from blender, which is a great environment for modeling 3d, once you
get over the learning curve.
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro is a good
wikibook tutorial, that happens to cover modeling in the first hundred
pages or so of the beginner volume.
