I need to get into this field before it becomes something bigger than what I can understand.

My dad got me into computers at a young age, and now i'm in a world of them around people who seemingly don't get them, i'd like to follow that up with 3d printing knowledge for myself.

Start playing around with tinkercad, it's an easy way to learn 3d modeling. If you don't need big prints you can find cheap 3d printers from manufacturers like monoprice.

Why not just call it a decimeter 10 mm =cm 100 mm = 1 decimeter.

Cause fewer conversions is better. Mental math is asking for mistaken even something seemingly simple.
