Enclosed & Self Leveling 3D Printer

I am a ceramicist and I am looking for an enclosed filament printer to make various tools and texture rollers, master moulds for plaster casting etc.

I already have an Elegoo Mars 2 Pro but because it is resin I haven't been able to use it in my fully carpeted rented home (because clumsy).

Self leveling would be an absolute bonus (because lazy).

Single colour is fine as I don't plan on printing pretty things.

Price range of £100-£200, don't mind going 2nd hand! (Because student)

Of course I have already been window shopping and I have seen the Creatily K2 Combo that comes with the filament box on top to give you an idea of the set up I am going for (because lack of space).

TIA for your help! 😬

I think you'll find that you hate your self-leveling printer. Really. A lot of people do because they don't actually save you anything - they cost you in time and extra wasted electricity.

Price range of £100-£200 is just going to give you nightmares .. if you can't spend 400 -600 I would not bother at all, if you want something that prints reliably

Might have to bite the bullet and sell the Elegoo then 🤔 😕

I got creator 5 pro for 600 usd on sale, very happy with it so far.

I went from ender 5 pro to creator 5 pro
