I am interested in getting a 3D printer but I have no idea where to even started. Is there such thing as a multi-purpose printer? What’s a good source to read up on printers, software, filament?

I am thinking small replacements items like drawer guides, funnel for espresso machine, essentially little parts and pieces that break around the house and farm. Also maybe some device cases (including outdoor ones) etc.

Ideally I don’t want a closed system. I have a Cricut for 10 years or so and I hate being locked into the app so much. Unless there is a really, really good reason.

Edited to add: Thank you all! What an amazing community!

I would love to hear about PETG’s performance during a Scandinavian winter. I am on Canada and soil sensors I would pull over winter but some other stuff might be interesting to leave outside. For ventilation I could either use it outdoors (summer) or in the garage in winter unless it needs room temp to print. That would be an issue in winter.
