Maybe, but it’s just an aspect of the hobby. Besides fiddling with bed leveling it is mostly ready to use, even if you buy new and assemble it yourself that’s only a couple hours. Most of the other issues I brought up really only come into play once you start trying to do something less common.
I stand by my suggestion to fiddle with one for a while. You can probably pick one up secondhand, get a feel for the hobby, and upgrade once you figure out what features and capabilities are most important to you. It’s the sort of hobby where you have to get your hands dirty a little but just to get a good grip on what your real requirements are. Good printers can be a little pricey, and knowing what you need helps you avoid overpaying for stuff you don’t need.
