First printer for my specifications?

Hi all, I bought a printrbot simple metal and I am very disappointed with it. I am technically inclined and I still don't have it printing well like others suggest it only takes 1 hour to get great prints. I am looking in the 1,000 - 2,000 dollar range (MakerCrap printers are out (MakerBot)). I would like minimal tweaking out of box, I am buying this just to prototype and not tweak or have as a hobby project. And if anyone has any recommendations for a complete calibration guide for printrbot i'd really appreciate it! Thanks a lot guys!

The ultimaker 2 will be your best bet, Lulzbot Taz as second option. Both little over the 2000 range though.

I was going to suggest the Lulzbot as well, didn't think about the Ultimaker. Another option might be a Rostock Max or Orion delta printer from SeeMeCNC.

However, I am not sure the desktop industry has progressed to the point of simple prototyping. The PrintrBot Metal is actually on my list of first time printers. So if you are not getting the results you want with it, I don't think any of the alternatives would prove any better. For instance, Lulzbot should work out of the box, but I saw someone have issues printing InMoov parts on their forums.
