Yup, I use Tinkercad and awful lot, mainly because it's web based, free, and not blocked by our work firewalls when I'm on this long tedious calls listening to knobjockeys who like the sound of their own voices and licking the piles of their bosses...

All looks cool, guess once you have it and learn its capabilities you find uses very easily.
You're limited by your imagination, and the limits of the machine and materials you are using.

For example, most FDM and resin printers create prints that are weak in the plane the layers are printed, as with force, you can separate the layers.  Sometimes you can reorient the model before printing to overcome, sometimes you have to redesign it with that in mind if you need the strength in that plane.  Sometimes, it just won't work.
