There is a bit of a learning curve, BUT, once you get going, you won't want to use another cad again.
I use the SE18 which have to be started with a dongle.  I have made hundreds of cad drawings with it and many are for 3D parts.
I have two printers, the creality ender 3 (220 x 220 x 250) and the Creality Ender 10 (500 x 500 x 500)
The smallest parts are about 10 x 5 x 6 and the largest was for an antique doll case top and bottom af around 450mm round, and a running wheel for a hedgehog about 450mm dia x 100mm (and of course running on bearings for extra speed).
I print most of my product enclosures except for larger production items.  I drawed a proper set of terminals for solar use with actual copper contacts, same for the solar regulators, and since many items (including my PC) runs off 12V, I print my own automotive female sockets, the Chinese versions are pathetic and expensive.

I find drawing very easy, so if anyone needs an STL file and you give a drawing, I can do it for you, but just ask first  in case I'm tied up.  fanie at faze dot co dot za or whatsapp 082 456 6925 and I'm in the illegal British colony of Sick Africa so the code is +27

Come to think of that hedgehog running for free.
I think I must put a little generator on it to light the garden up.

And while I'm at it, why not bring child labour back.  Put power generators on their swings, see-saws, slides etc and hopefully they will burn all their energy back into something usable and so they want to sleep early.
You can always beat them when they won't go play.
Have you noticed how children are healthy during the day, and tonight when you want to get some desperate sleep they suddenly become ill
