As Chuck said there are tons of ideas and pictures out there, mixing and matching ideas from what you find is often the best route to follow if you have the time to trial and error through the design.
A CAD program is unnecessary and can slow down the process for some of us. Working with real parts or cardboard and hot glue can help find problems and solutions that are not obvious in the virtual realm.
The 0.01mm precision will be tough to hit with a machine that has any wood in it and without a reasonably well equipped shop that target becomes unrealistic.
Maybe consider starting with a super cheap machine made from printer parts, do not worry so much about accuracy at first, just become comfortable with the concepts. I really think you will be disappointed if you try to start with a 0.01mm accuracy machine unless there is somebody with knowledge and tools who can help.
Good luck!
