If your interested in digging in more within some generally positive and positive communities, I'd recommend r/3dprinting and r/functionalprint.
If yours is reliable, can you tell me what brand it is?
Some people have claimed to have run thousands of hours on their Prusa machines, as they are built for reliability above all.
Like all 3d printers they're still fiddly, finicky things in general. There's been a few times where I've needed to spend an hour fettling. But I've owned 3 printers before this and I would say the reliability improvement is at least an order of magnitude in terms of mtbf (where f = fiddling).
I have 3 minis now, 1 with 0.25 nozzle loaded with flex, 1 0.25 nozzle (petg/pla) for decorative/hires and 1 0.4 nozzle (petg/pla) for fast, functional prints. This has mostly eliminated the setup time and calibration required for different "job types".
I couldn't have done this before because just keeping 1 "less reliable" printer working exceeded the free time I was willing to spend on printer maintenance.
Still new - I got the bed leveled once, now I just slice, insert SD card, and print. I've printed 20+ items across as many days without needing to re-level the bed.
No problems with print quality, it just works.
Setup was ok for an absolute beginner, after watching a few YouTube tutorials.
My monoprice clone of the flash forge creator pro runs for many months like a laser printer. I can send a print job to it from upstairs and pick up the print when it’s done. That holy grail came from using a glass print bed, ABS slurry, enclosure, and a dial indicator to really nail the bed tramming.
I’ve since added auto-bed-leveling probes on the bed slingers and they reduce the fiddling significantly. I may add it on the monoprice just for consistency/convenience but it doesn’t seem to need it as much.
