I got a Monoprice Select Mini ($200) - and have had a great time
making 1/4" scale model bits, and then some larger scaled bits for the
scene shop.  Using primarily PLA for the models, and been playing with
transparent PET-G for fun.

But Joe's right: one really has to become a 3D CAD jockey to really
get the most out of this. And making small props: awesome idea, but
yeah, one will need to master Fusion or SolidWorks. (Or put up with
the frustrations of SketchUp.)
