I'm rather fond of the Prusa line of printers, but you indicate you need a large print area. It seems that you have found one in the Qidi X-max and that curious aardvark agrees with you. Check out as many YouTube reviews as you can, maybe some of the forums for other users. The Amazon reviews suggest a few problems, but also solutions. The forums will cover that in more detail.

One topic that often arises in our makerspace is cheap printers. One of the proponents of cheap printers likes to note that there are a lot of modifications on the internet for "printer model x" but that's also an indication that there's too many places to improve.
