Hi, as title suggests im in the market for a FDM printer, budget is roundabout ~£2000~, but if some of the cheaper printers are up there with the more 'expensives' id rather spend less
Im new to FDM, but not new to 3d printing, i have SLA resin printer.
I want FDM to print larger more functional items , certainly would like the ability to print with the stronger specialist filament materials (nozzle that can handle the higher heats required), and reliability would be pretty high on the list, i dont mind tinkering to get something dialled in but i dont want to be constantly having to diagnose/replace and fix problems because of crap parts/build design.

build size ideally 250wx250lx350h
from what i can gather 50micron layer height with a 0.4 nozzle is something like the sweet spot for FDM prints? #
Heated bed
auto levelling
able to use the specialist filaments for stronger prints

Been struggling to get my head around this due to number of machines/brands out there.
I had looked at prusa because there mentioned so often as being the 'gold standard' (apparently), and then at the caribou copies that have 420mm build height, which comes in around £1700 with upgraded parts, not sure if thats way too much for what is essentially an upgraded prusa mk3 with a larger build area,

thanks in advance to any replies
Dan
