The good news is the parts are small so the print time wouldn't be long (relatively speaking). But, you are correct, steep learning curve in both design and successful print.

My son has a relatively low end printer (a MonoPrice one, don't remember the model number) and we've done a few straight-from-the-web prints and a few custom designed ones, mostly D&D related, and each is a challenge.
