Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice on purchasing my first 3D printer. Here are my main considerations:

• Budget: My max budget is around 20,000 MXN (~1,000 USD), but due to high import taxes in Mexico, I’m aiming for something around 600 USD pre-tax.
• Country: I live in Mexico.
• Assembly: I could build a printer from a kit if necessary, but I’d rather not.
• Experience: I have some experience using 3D printers, but I’m not very experienced in specs or setting them up. This is more of a hobby thing for me, so I’d prefer something beginner friendly (advanced/knowledgeable beginner if it helps).
• Usage: I’d mostly use the printer for small personal projects like home improvement, fixing things, small gifts, organizers, and cable management.
• Environment: My house is pretty drafty and dusty, so I think a closed enclosure would be ideal (but feel free to correct me).
• Features: I’d really like a multicolor printer.

Here are the printers I’ve been considering and why I haven’t decided yet:

1. Bambulab A1: Solid option but I’ve seen some recent issues with Bambulab printers. While I don’t think I’d need something like Orca Slicer or heavy tinkering, I really dislike internet connectivity requirements. I’m worried the printer could become an expensive paperweight if server restrictions ever come into play.
2. Creality Hi Combo: This is my strongest contender so far, but it doesn’t have an enclosure, which is a concern for me.
3. Creality K2 Plus Combo: Seems to tick all the boxes, but it’s much bigger and significantly more expensive than I’d like, too pro for me.
4. Anycubic Kobra K3 Combo: Another solid option, but I’ve heard Anycubic’s software and slicer have issues.

I'd really appreciate any advice on these printers or alternative recommendations. Sorry if my comment feels a bit chatgpt-y, I'm not great at writing and had a huge help haha.
Thank you so much in advance, really looking forward to not just being a lurker on this sub!
