Hello,

I am looking for advice on peripherals, software, and the like.
Good or bad, I have a Snapmaker 2.0 350mm purchased that is set to arrive in February. I will be adding an enclosure and creating a venting system for temperature control and ABS printing. This will be located in a home office.
The printer will be used for micro manufacturing, prototyping, metal casting (lost pla), cnc, laser etching, and even some pcb board etching.
The only software I have used for 3d printing so far is Sketchup and Cura. I have Autocad r14 but need to obtain a 32bit computer to get that running again. I am sure Fusion 360 will be highly recommended but will be off the table until I can justify the price.
I am looking for suggestions for equipment and software to aid in both design and process to get my setup ready for operation when the printer arrives.

Thank you,

Steve
