I know I'm coming into this late.
CAD-wise, you might look at Alibre. Their low-cost CAD works well and you get to keep the files (no need to deal with On-Shape and having your files public). Another option is TinkerCAD.
I have friends who make amazing stuff with QIDI and Prusa printers and they work well right out of the box. I have designed several parts that they have printed for me and those parts come out to dimension/tolerance with limited issues in PET-G and ABS.
Shaun - Another thought on plugs is to submit a design to Cap-Plugs and have them quote. You may be surprised on who inexpensively they will make some stuff. You could also run designs to Xometry and see what they're low-volume run quote looks like.
