There are many YT channels about 3d printing that also cover TinkerCad. One of them is HL Modtech, this one for instance = https://youtu.be/gPeWdLQYfuA
I'll check it out. I liked tinkerCad when I used it, but it didn't seem like there is a way to trim either object to do what I wanted, so I wasn't sure if it's the right tool. Maybe a little user error on my end, so I'll look into it more
I didn't check your other responses about the actual shapes you want to work on, but IMHO trimming away some edges or pieces is really simple, just by putting a "hole block" on the material you don't want. Group the parts together and see the result.
