Hi. If you would be willing to spend around 400$ I would recommend the Qidi Q1 Pro. I have printed on this printer since October pretty daily and it's solid. Thanks to core-xy kinematics it's fast and print quality is amazing, my older bedslinger is collecting dust in the basement. Printer is running open source klipper, I'm on fedora, using orca slicer with default profiles from Qidi and my experience was flawless. Technologically it was a big step up from my previous 3d printer which required very much tinkering to achieve decent quality, so I'm very happy with Q1 because now I just print. So far I've printed with PLA, PETG, PCTG filaments.
