It's been easier to pick up than I expected, honestly. I got a Bambu P1S (without the multicolor gizmo), and they've created an ecosystem that really tries to make it as foolproof as it can be. It comes with its own app that handles file preparation (slicing), print monitoring, and even model finding (though you can find them on all sorts of other sites too). It took me probably 45 minutes from unboxing to printing that little cauldron, and I know almost nothing about any sort of CAD.

And for organizing, specifically, I'm focusing on the Gridfinity system. The gist is that it's a "standard" of sorts where everything is built on a 42x42mm grid. But the magic is that you can use this website to generate all sorts of combinations of bins. It looks a little intimidating at first glance, but is easy to just play with until you get something you like. (You can also find tons of custom projects online that work in the same system)

My first project with that was taking a little bin that we keep our Bubly drops in for our Sodastream that was driving me a little nuts. The bottles could slide all around, so they never stayed in place. So I printed a little bin to hold them that was exactly the size I needed. Small things, but it's super satisfying.
