    yeah markforge have kinda taken a page out of carbon's book and priced thems elves out of the market for anyone but a large compabny with more money than sense.

    So to start with - you NEED a printer with a heated and enclosed build volume. You also need a hi temp hotend that can run at 300c for extended periods and ideally a heated bed that will hit 120c

    you haven't mentioned size of build volume.

    As far as hassle free goes - it's fdm 3d printing - their is always hassle of one type or another. If nothing else you need to learn the ups and downs of each material.

    If this is fora commercial venture, then I would suggest you look at something like the leapfrog bolt. idex (independant dual extruders) are going to be your friend for supports and mixed material prints.

    Okay it's nearly $9000 - BUT it's what you asked for :-)
    Possibly my favouriter fdm printer to date.

    Cheaper machines worth looking at:

    raise 3d pro 2 https://www.raise3d.com/pro2/

    Probably more about - but you won't get hassle free with the lower end price ranges :-)

    qidi xplus also well worth a look, though you might need to upgrade the hotend: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JCKNQSZ/ref=emc_b_5_t

    If build volume isn't a major issue then look at the latest qidi tech x pro: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076BLQWHY?tag=hidevour-20
