I bought a Creality Ender3, used it to print a seedsigner case coaster and cat. Pretty easy setup and the learning curb isnt that big. I've tried printing a case for my space heater, but the base isnt big enough to print straight from the stl. I tried resizing the thing and it came out looking like a lunch box......I'll probably try printing it in parts. 3d printing is pretty fun and I'd definitely give it a shot if I were you.
I hear the Enders are a go to printer. I hear Prusa is also pretty good manufacturer, did you do much research before deciding on your choice?
What's the most difficult thing? I've only sent stl files off to be printed by someone else. Really want to start learning, but feel like it's still not the right time, yet.

No research whatsoever, bought it off of amazon. Wasn't difficult at all, Max from Pleblab breaks things down really well.

Prusa is a Czech company that manufactures their products in-house; Creality (the company that makes the Ender product line) is a Chinese company. Most other differences between the two companies' products, logically follow from this difference.

Quite surprised I've not heard any other printers which are made in-house in other countries.

Look into Bamboo Labs printers.
Its about the same cost as the Prusa line but its generations ahead, makes printing wayyy easier
