free simple 3d hardware, assets for 3d design
is there a place to go online to find little digital hardware pieces like hinges, or gears, fasteners or other assets that would speed up the design process by just being able to import them into you project. to speed up the design workflow. instead of creating every single part from scratch ?

I believe the McMaster Carr website has 3D files for a lot of their fasteners and hardware,
other than that try
Yeggi,
Thingiverse,
Printables

This. If you use Fusion 360 to model, it's built in. If not, just select a part, then download as STEP file.

Personally, I mostly use Thingiverse, but in some cases I can find suitable 3D models only here: https://grabcad.com/library?page=1&time=all_time&sort=popular&categories= free-3d
