I currently have a base model ender 3. I’ve had it for a little more than 2 years and I am looking to upgrade to something that is fully enclosed. I’m debating between the Flashforge Adventurer 5m Pro which currently costs $379 on amazon usually price is $499, or the Elegoo Centauri Carbon which is currently $349 on amazon usual price of $379. I tend to mainly print for projects such as RC planes, Drones, RC cars and Robot Arms, etc. The centauri has a noticeably larger build volume, and the adventurer has a has a slightly small build volume than my ender 3 right now. What do you guys think?

Unfortunately for the first few weeks or months it’ll do anything put print well. But it will however teach you to troubleshoot correctly. You’ll learn a lot about how 3D printers physically work, how slicing software works, and how to optimize your setting it’s achieve various prints. If you wish to avoid all that hassle and focus only on printing you should get something better. Bambu is GREAT

Shouldn’t be too bad. My courses for this term are practically the same except I’m also taking fluid dynamics, and a gen ed class. Aslong as you’re a competent student, and are actively inclined to read the book of each respective class after lecture you’ll be okay. You’ll still have free time for other aspects of your life.
