I'm not really into 3d printing as a hobby in itself so I don't know about a lot of the hardware, but I have an ender 3v2 and recommend it because it's still pretty cheap comparatively at $200, everyone has one so your questions have already been asked, and you have to build a pretty good portion of it yourself which is very useful when diagnosing and fixing problems. they're all just machines that poo poo out hot plastic though so really you're mostly just paying for QA and whatever board they stick on there so you'll probably be able to use any alibaba printer with decent reviews (there are millions). if you're going that route I'd get one with an enclosure

sounds good. $200 is a good price point and it sounds like it's really easy to mod and slowly dump another $200-300 in custom parts to make it even better.

what software do people use for making like architectural 3d models? that's probably gunna be my biggest use-case is making 3d sections and models. im good at civil3d but it's kinda janky

architectural stuff is outside my wheelhouse but the likely answer is sketchup. If you know cad though I'd go with onshape or maybe like shaper3d? The go-to was fusion360 for a long time but they changed their free tier and there was a lot of grumbling about it -- I think you can still get a free tier but I don't know what the restrictions are. You might also want to check out Plasticity and see if it clicks with you during its free trial phase, which is a more art-oriented cad as opposed to engineering. also there's always blender

people are working on a cad addon for blender atm, it’s called cad sketcher. I find it pretty confusing but you can use it to make parametric cad stuff. blender also has a 3d print toolbox as a pre installed addon
