Second printer decisions for strong parts.

Hi Everyone,

I just recently joined hoping to get some expert advice from those that are familiar with the latest 3D printer models. We design and develop custom parts and have been using the MarkForged MK1 now for 5 months. It's a great machine when it works and does produce extremely durable parts, however we're now severely lagging behind in production and need to acquire another machine.

The majority of our parts have been developed using Nylon so I'd like the new machine to take on that role but it needs to be more reliable, simpler and fast.

What are your recommendations? We were looking at SLAs but are not sure how strong the materials are and what the kind of limitations to expect.

Please help, we would like to keep the budget to about $3k for the second machine.

Thanks.
