CAD software which also has a pretty neat parametric design extension called Grasshopper.
Pretty sure they have a demo version if you’re really curious.
I used to work for a metal 3D printing company that used it as the primary CAD software.
My wife and I share a $1k Rhino license. Not so cheap but it is a perpetual license.
I don’t fuck with Autodesk, Adobe or ESRI.

Thingiverse has a better (maybe just bigger) library but Printables has a better interface. I use both and think it always nice to host source files on GitHub.
While I do love the honeycomb aesthetic, this geometry is highly susceptible to stringing.
You could achieve similar material usage printing a solid outer shell with very low % infill. Easiest way to achieve zero stringing in cases like this using any condition of filament.
Same thing came to my mind. Is it so bad if the content grows at a slower rate and the traffic of adding new content drops to a new equilibrium.
I went with a Prusa Mini and I can recommend the brand albeit at a higher price point.
From what I’ve heard from others the main pitfall for someone staring out is not getting an auto-bed levelling sensor.
For slicing Prusa slicer is fantastic and you can get profiles for many printers.
For print monitoring OctoPrint and OctoApp are my go to.
Did a bit of 8-axis multitool with my previous job (mostly work on a proprietary slicer), and one main takeaway was to not be afraid of editing gcode.
I would probably start with a script to merge the files and then build a basic plugin for my slicer to do the job.
I’m sure more user friendly options are around the corner!
