3D Printer?

[Rvjimd]

Did anyone get a 3D printer for Christmas?

I would like to mess with one and wouldn't hesitate to buy one but I am afraid of my own personal learning curve required to make good use of one.

I don't even have a PC, much less any CAD experience.

I would love to hear your "story" if you are new to 3D printing.

One of my questions is, are there files freely available online that can be downloaded to allow parts to be printed? My fear is buying one, and then not being able to use it.
