I have a cheap $200 monoprice printer. I followed the advice of others and it works reasonably well. I've printed a few large threaded nuts and bolts to get a feel for what's possible, and haven't used it since. It's the CAD side of it that gets me... I just can't stomach getting into bed with AutoDesk ever again. Maybe it's time for me to try OpenSCAD. I also have a cheap $200 cnc engraver that I've done even less with, for similar reasons.

You may want to look at Solid-Edge: https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/plmapp/education/solid-edge/en_us/free-software/community https://www.plm.automation.siemens.com/plmapp/education/soli... HeeksCAM or FreedCad also have direct CAM gcode support. For 2D engravers, check out MightyScape plugins for inkscape, and bCNC/GRBL.
