How easy is it to say e.g. draw/sketch a gizmo (cover, bracket,etc.) and then convert it to a file that the printer can work with?

Do you need to be able to juggle advanced Maths !?

How about a ' Bonesie's guide to 3D printing for idiots...." doh

For a dead easy to use but very powerful 3D CAD system, check out Fusion 360 from Autocad. The hobbyists version is free, there are loads of tutorials on the web, and it's very intuitive and straightforward to get to grips with.
