Be cautious, @Anonymous, there is no way back! But joking apart, you will find it very useful.

Do you have experience in modeling? @s.kishore1998 have already given a great ideia, about watching simple videos.

In the 3D  printing itself, you could learn one slicer software for the first steps. I'm used to Simplify 3D, but you can use a free alternative, like Cura and Prusa Slicer.

You can also watch short videos about 3D printing, like this:

By the way, what printer have you bought?
