lol see there's me trying to be helpful and friendly for our american brethern and there's you just being english :-)

I wouldn't say you need to put a lot of time and effort into keeping a printer running. Yeah youi need to learn how to use it when you get it. But so far mine don't need much looking after, just a bit of occasional lubrication and cleaning and the odd bed calibration. But other than that, they're hassle free.
OK. let's try something. Put 10 STLs on a USB stick and knock at your neighbours door with the printer, hand them both over and see how many it prints before it f***s up.

I would guess maybe 2 if he is lucky, probably none.
