 there are different tools for different purposes. one size will not fit all. EOT.
-i typically do "technical" prints, i.e. elements where keeping precise dimensions is key. this is why my tool of choice is [[wp>OpenSCAD]]. this allows to make prints with a programming language, by doing: addition, subtraction, intersection, etc. of basic shapes like: cubes, spheres, cylinders, etc.

 if you think more about "artistic" prints / sculptures, probably [[wp>Blender (software)|Blender]] will be more appropriate tool for you.

 i personally bought IP video camera that is powered via the same power cord as the printer itself. whenever i turn on my printer, camera is detected in the network, by the server, and recording automatically starts to NAS, for later access. nice, simple and powerful.
+as described previously, end-of-filament sensor is a great thing. your printer can then automatically pause when no more filament is available (either broken or out of the spool). keep in mind though, that this is not a silver bullet. it will neither detect filament being stuck (not moving) nor extruder loosing steps. it is worth keeping in mind.
