I have never 3d printed anything before. These days I'm working on a small home automation project, and I will require some enclosures. So I thought why not buy a 3d printer ? That way I can also learn about 3d printing when I get some time.

Also please suggest an affordable 3d printer.

Second OnShape. If you’re familiar with fusion 360 or solid works it has a very similar workflow. Also on the cloud so OS agnostic (big plus if you’ve got different OSs on your computers)
