I got an Ender 3 Pro which is fine for what I'm doing. Printed out brackets for my Aloris quick change tool post tooling. Thingiverse and Printables has 1000's of files to get you started.

Also, if you have a Bin store or Black Friday Amazon returns store, that's a good place to get filament if you don't care about the color. I bought 4 big rolls of PLA for $8 (white). You have to battle the freaks in there though.

It takes a few tries to get the filament base layer to stick, but once you have the bed right, it goes pretty smoothly.

It took 3 hours for one of those brackets though, so it's not like a laser jet. Also, you have to watch it or monitor with a web cam as once the print fails, it just keep spewing out hot filament.
