I'll start off with:
I use this printer..
Amazon.com: Monoprice Maker Select Plus 3D Printer: Industrial & Scientific
I like it, it is my first and has been fun to get going. It took me about 3 hours to get all the calibrations and setting dialed in.
I am using ABS filament mostly from hatchbox bought through amazon for about $22 a roll.
I start with objects I find in thingverse and grabcad. I move them into cura to look at them and them edit them with tinkercad.
I save the GCode out and recently upload that into color print to change my filament color at the right height. Then save that Gcode to the SD card and print straight from the printer.
My best settings have been a bed temperature of 104C and EAD of 222.

i started with designs off of thingverse, and took them into tinkercad and added custom features, I am going to put a USB drive storage slot in my change holder since there is a rather deep recess that is just used as filler space. I want to make the top piece a hinge and have empty space in it for small items etc. I'll post some of my remixes, alterations onto thingverse i think.
I am interested in 3D printing but not sure if I can handle the CAD side of things...That would be all new to me. I did see this on kickstarter and it interested me. Any thoughts?

That looks very cool. First time seeing it. If you can wait for July-Sep to get, I probably would.
I had to return the monoprice unit from Amazon, I ended up buying this one. It will arrive later this week:

The QIDI i just bought is a knock off of the makerbot I am excited to test it out. Already did some calculations and the tray I want to print on my monoprice was going to take 74 hours and the QIDI says same quality will take 14 hours. I am honestly curious to see how it does.

The tesla tray with logo and wording on the inside of the tray.
Why? Did the bed stop heating?
The new unit you are looking at looks great. Dual extruders will be cool.
