That's great! I'm behind your progress, but I'm feeling pretty much the same way thus far. I've always had CAD software (well, since the '80s) and it exports in STL format for my printer's slicer to convert to G-code and send to the printer, so I didn't need to learn anything to draw. In addition to simple tools and gauges, I've made things like a knife rack for the kitchen drawer's silverware tray to keep the steak knives oriented with their sharp edges down. My wife likes to bake cookies and grumbled about never being able to roll the dough to an even enough thickness all over, so I made her roller collars that slip over the rolling pin handles and ride the ends of the pin to keep it the right horizontal height above the board. I mention the kitchen utensils to prove there are things a man can make with the printer to get the wife to grudgingly concede the tool you really bought to make a primer seating depth gauge with is actually good for something useful.

And I expect more people will follow. The printers are getting more and more plug-and-play so you have to know less and less to make them work. AI will probably be able to do drafting at some point, and then describing the thing may be all that will be necessary. We shall see.
