Everyone wants you money.. Overture is decent and well priced. Esun is also my go to for PETG, I use very little PLA but have used Overture. There is no reason I would spend $57 for PLA..
Check out onshape.com it is free and is fairly easy to learn.
I would suggest using google to search on topics. 3D printing as a hobby is like all hobbies, there are many facets to it and you need to learn them all to some extent and understand how they work....
have both of my enclosures sitting on top of a dress in an extra bedroom.. No they do not need to be level. they do need to be sturdy as the printer vibrates and you don't want the table rocking and...
We have some temporary doors set up in our house to facilitate the introduction of a semi feral cat to the indoor cats. The one door has a squeaky hinge and my wife told me to fix it.. But I said,...

it was funny.. don't be such a stick in the mud :-)
Print at the low end of the filament manufactures suggested temperature. I print Esun at 230-235 and Overture transparent at 240.. If still lifting then your initial Z offset (gap between nozzle and...
Why not contact your local high school, they probably have a STEM class for Engineering and Robotics, probably can find someone willing to work with you there. Most adults with the knowledge already...
Check out mar-a-lago, should be able to find some corruption there! Please fix it for us!!
12 year old children can do this.. go for it, you can do it as well.
A printer is a machine that need to be accurate to .001mm .. you get what you pay for.. what is the part you are making, what forces must it withstand, what temperature range must it live in, what...
I would suggest brass or aluminum.. No matter what you infuse in the plastic it is still plastic... carb fiber is just Nylon with carb in it.. it warps badly.. must be dried just before use. ...
get an auto drain valve
Check with your manufactures Forum .. Prusa uses a Bowden tube with remote extruder I think so it is different. I have no idea what others get set to..
when the nozzle stops printing as it moves to a new location the filament is retracted so it does not keep leaking out while the move to the new location takes place. Once it gets there it the moves...

Print time is dependent on print speed, extrusion width (nozzle size). layer height, infill percentage, travel moves (nozzle moving between areas where it prints), modle size and amount of support...
