Others can argue over printer models. I will caution that learning the ways of 3D modelling/slicing takes significant investment. Even if all you do is grab something off Thingiverse to print. The learning curve is not hard and info is everywhere online. But it is of reasonable quantity compared to a $300 printer. If you already have those skills, then a 3D printer is no brainer.
