Thanks, but i will probably just go with a mosfet because its more suited for the job. When i say I'm on a budget i just mean that I don't have an unlimited budget and if I wanted to spend a ton on a printer i would just buy one already made. I have several printers already so i don't want a cheap crappy printer that can just print. I want a really nice quality print and a large print volume and am willing to spend the money on things that make a difference like linear rails and maybe even genuine Hiwin or equivalent as I have heard they are worth the money. Its sometimes a challenge figuring out what will really be worth spending on but there are certain things I know will help. anything that makes it run smoother basically so belts, bearings, pulleys, stepper drivers, linkages etc will not be where i will look to save.
I just want to be smart about where i spend the money. A perfect example is the SKR board. It was like $30 CAD compared to a duet or others for $150-$300. I bought a clone E3D V6 but bought the genuine block sock and thermistor kit and hope to replace the heat break soon as well. I may stick to the 24V heatbed just to keep the costs down but may buy the 120v depending on how the budget is doing.
Power stuff I will stick to what is safe and made for the purpose. life span of electronics is related to proper power regulation as well as heat dissipation and duty load etc. I always use decent power supplies and components as it saves a lot of time and money in the long run.
