As someone who started with junk printers from the very beginning, and now sell 3D prints, please don't buy a machine you have to assemble. Don't learn how to dial it in. And spend more than $1,000.
Your time and money is worth more than trying to make some open source diy kit printer do what you want. Bambu has body slammed the market with printers that work.
Get a H2S or X1C, run it in lan only mode if you're paranoid, and don't look back. H2S is a better option for your material choices.
My comment will probably get flamed because I'm not saying Prusa makes the best printers and only support open source, but do you want a tool that makes things, or do you want to waste time baby sitting your tool trying to get it to do something others can do out of the box.
I WISH my machine was open source, but the reality is it's not. It's like asking what mill to buy, but rulling out HAAS and Bridgeport because you're ok with trying to machine around crazy slop.
Yes, but with a caveat.
Here in Elbonia H2S costs 5 times the price of Elegoo Centauri.
I know that poor people save money twice, but I think it's also responsible, if you're just treading the water, to get a decent toy and see if that's really something for you.
Recently my gf thought about getting a drawing tablet. Of course I immediately aimed for professional graphic tablet, at least 19". Fortunately we ended up buying cheap Huion [1] and after having a blast with Rebelle for a month it turned out it's not for us. We saved a ton of money in the process and maybe one day I'll decide that the money saved will finance a toy 3D printer. :)
[1] I'm not an artist but I've worked in digital agencies for half of my life and I was blown away by the quality of Huion compared to Wacom. I think it might be similar to some of 3D printers mentioned here.
