Move your drawing until the YZ plane bisects it down the center.Manually align the image so that the bottom edge of the drawing is in line with the XZ plane.
Insert Canvas and select the Front view drawing as your image.Manually align the image so that the bottom corner on the "front" side of that drawing is touching the origin.Insert Canvas and select your Side view drawing as your image.
Once you have a new document in Fusion 360, do the following steps: The whole point of this step is to make sure that every one of your drawings is aligned to a single origin. Crop the drawings down until the edges of the crop touch the widest and tallest points of your drawings. But I think all of them are very powerful tools that will far exceed your needs.Use your camera or scanner, digitize your orthographic drawings onto your computer. Contrary to what some folks think, it’s still free for hobbyists, the only real limitation is a slightly irritating limit on the number of files you can work on simultaneously. I can’t really talk to the latter three when I was in your position a couple of years back, I gave all of them a try and preferred Fusion 360. If like most of us you’re therefore only interested in apps that are free, there are quite a few out there but I think the main free ones are Fusion 360, Solid Edge, FreeCad, and Sketchup. You’ll also want to decide whether you’re willing, down the line, to pay to use the software. (Though sooner than you think you may need both). The former are (in my view) better for making precisely dimensioned model parts, the latter for sculpted type objects. There is a junction of sorts here: the softwares are broadly either CAD, aimed at ‘engineered products’, or ‘artistic’ apps like Blender. The next step on is a key decision point, because whichever app you choose, you’ll end up investing a lot of time and effort on the learning curve. You can do quite a lot with it but will eventually run up against its limitations. Whatever you make can be exported as a printable. It’s extremely easy and intuitive and you’ll be making something within the hour. Tinkercad is a good way to get going quickly and if you haven’t done any 3D modelling previously I’d strongly recommend starting there.
