I'm willing to have to mess a bit with the printer and learn more about it in the process. It's nice that Ultimaker is open source and there's a lot of information out there, so I'm sure it will be no problem. I'm just hoping I won't have to work on it after every few prints, like reportedly some other printers require.

I was going to go for the Prusa i3 because of the lower price initially, since even though you can get an Ultimaker at EUR 995 right now, it's still excl. tax and shipping which adds another couple 100 euros. But then I was lucky to find an Ultimaker in good condition on eBay, from a local print shop in my own town, and I just won the auction. Can't wait to start working with it.
