[Bald & Bearded]

I have to agree with EricH on the learning part. I have been 3D printing for well over a year now and am still learning tricks and better ways to do thing. I have boxes of failed prints for all that effort.

Also, don't forget the cost of supplies. Good quality filament cost about $30 or more for a 1KG spool (and trust me you want to pay for quality). Add to
that painters tape, kapton tape, or other adhesives for your print bed.
