This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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)
