This is a community for people who have home servers. 100M is fine for a couple people just web browsing, but that’s not the topic of this discussion.

I run 10G between my desktop and my server because I can easily saturate a 1G connection doing a simple file transfer.

Consider post processing steps if you really need smooth parts. Sandable fillers, special paints, epoxy coatings, or just a bunch of sanding. I’ve had good luck with XTC-3D. It’s an epoxy you paint on that’s specifically designed for smoothing prints.

You could also consider a resin printer if you need smooth. They are their own can of worms, but the resolution and smoothness is good.

I usually just accept the roughness.

I agree with the people suggesting Onshape.

But if you like programming, OpenSCAD can be really interesting.

That favor economy sounds really cool. I’m sorry that Warlock didn’t get it. Also sorry about all the rest of the drama.
