I've had a FlashForge Creator Pro dual head for about 6 years now.
Not really that much of a learning curve to get started, but plenty of trial and error before you have sufficient experience. Patience is definitely a virtue as you take your lumps. The nice thing is that there is usually a pretty quick answer on the web if you just input any symptoms or problems.
I've designed so many cool things over the years, solved a lot of small problems with simple 3D designs. It's a very cool and fulfilling hobby.
And yes, thingiverse.com is awesome (BTW srvy, you can print pretty much anything with a standard printer).
Printers have become very reasonably priced, a lot of people are raving about the newest Dremels as they handle a lot of the bs without any headaches (bed leveling can be a real pia the first few times you do it), issue with the Dremel is proprietary filament... about double the price iirc.
I'm certainly no expert, but I've given my machine a good workout, if you have any questions, hmu!
