Completely, if you want to start designing your own custom robots. Nothing else compares to the speed and cost-effectiveness at which 3D printing allows you to iterate on your designs. And trust me when I say that you will have to iterate!
However, as others have said, CAD is required to design your own custom parts. So, if you don't know how to CAD yet, be prepared to devote some time to learning.
Spend the extra money on a higher-end printer if you want a printer that needs less "hand-holding." For example, particularly for printers with larger build envelops, making sure your printer's bed is level is crucial. Auto-leveling features on high-end printers will make this process simpler and quicker. I hope you found this information useful!
