Having looked through a lot of his problems, I'm going to doubt that things like too short of bed screws can be caused by a USB cable

I will admit that his approach with a port on the side and an internal cable, then an external disconnectable cable is more vulnerable to a bad cable, but he has had a hell of a lot of issues that weren't just weird software glitches.
As far as CAD stuff goes, I'm learning to like fusion 360, and find it only slightly harder to learn than Tinkercad (And a lot easier to do complicated stuff with, or dimension well) and it's free for hobby use and business's with less than 100K in revenue a year. Plus the built in CAM (I'm not liking that as much as I could, yet. It's very different in feel from the CAM i used before, and more basic than a 5 axis capable one, but I've only just started with it) may let you go from a single design to the printer for a quick fit+feel part, and then to your mill, with minimal changes and no screwing about with random software to convert or massage it.
