Give me all the news. I don’t mind spending $500 or so.
So, for prototyping, you might have a decent experience, but probably not. These $150-750 printers often require tweaking and adjustments constantly. I've talked to people who just think it will spit out perfect prints every time, you really need a pro printer for that.

Ended 3 pro if you are going to only use it occasionally. Fusion 360/Tinkercad.
You can also use the printers at a library.

Yup. My first 2 printers were Prusa knockoffs, and they worked pretty good, but CONSTANTLY needed attention to keep them printing in good quality. Plus that was all after swapping to linear rails, new hotend, controller, etc. You can print pretty good quality with them, I just feel like there was always something I’d have to re-tune or adjust.
I picked up a Bambu Lab X1 Carbon a month ago, and it’s been absolutely amazing. $1500 price tag with the multicolor AMS, but it’s literally a plug-n-play printer. I was printing within 10 min of taking it out the box, and haven’t had to mess with it since. Plus the quality and speeds are pretty insane. I think they offer a lower tier model (P1P) that’s probably closer to your budget. No experience with that one though.
For modeling I use Fusion 360
