3D printers

1140 1 Dec 30.2019, 17:19:28

I am beginning the research looking for a 3D printer to help make functional prototypes. Previously, I simply CNC machined everything because I had a shop. I no longer own that shop and want to work through iterations and ideas more freely and also make assembly fixtures. 
I have had parts 3D printed and they usually have horribly surface finishes and they are modestly strong. Does anyone know where I should start looking for machines and materials to get reasonably strong and decently finished parts? This is not necessarily an entry level 'maker' machine but also not a $gazillion one either. Speed is probably not hugely critical either. Maybe something <$20k or so. 
I have ZERO 3D printer experience so not really knowing what to ask for. 
Thanks in advance.....
