That’s one of the reasons I’ve held off. I like tinkering, but I don’t like having to spend a ton of time to fix something that should in theory work. I don’t have an engineering background and I don’t want my hobbies to feel like jobs.
I’d love buying something that works pretty well, fairly consistently off the shelf and tinker a tiny bit. Maybe one day.
The Sidewinder has been reliable so far. If you really don’t want to mess with anything, a comment above recommended Prusa which I agree with they’re just pricier.
I haven’t shopped around in a few years so there may be more notable brands now. Get one with an auto bed leveler, that’s one thing I wish I had. I don’t have the heart to flash in new firmware and deal with the hardware install (bl touch)
