Do you have an STL file?

I built a Rostock MAX, had the same concerns at first but I found it to be very easy/intuitive. The documentation for the build is very through (almost 300 pages long if i remember correctly) and a great step by step guide. Took about 20 hours in total (a week of evenings), No soldering was required so you may even be over qualified!

I would say go for it - you will be happy to know the ins and outs of your machine after the build of over (it is never over, there are many upgrades to the Rostock.

I usually hit the Bed Temp "PREHEAT" button in MatterControl while i am adjusting the final print settings. By the time I hit print and the hot end is to temperature there is no waiting for the bed to get up to temp.

Well, now I know what I am working in this weekend...
