That right ^there says so much.

There are countless people who want to brag about how easy these printers are for their huge melons to comprehend... and there are a whole lot of people who don't want to talk about their failure to make the machine work.

3d printers are not plug and play for any 'idiot' (OP reference).

OTOH, if you have a good understanding of non-linear thermal response of amorphous materials coupled with use of programing G-code (previous CNC) then sure, 3D printers can be up and running in no time.
