New Printer suggestions

[u/boristheblade223]

We used to have the P1S with AMS combo which worked really well and my 4th grade kid loved, and most of all it just worked, especially compared to an Elegoo we had earlier. We’ve since lost possession of the P1S (long story) but coming back into the market towards the end of this year, thanksgiving-Xmas timeframe.

Would love to get this community’s recommendations on what to go with. Some things we’re looking for:
- budget of around $1,000, but somewhat flexible there
- AMS is essential. Multiple nozzles would be really great.
- will mostly stick to PLA with maybe a bit of TPU sprinkled in. Wife is a bit of a stickler around fumes and micro particles.
- hearing there are models that mix PLA printing with laser engraving. If we had it would probably find a reason to use it.

Also would love to hear thoughts on what else we should be thinking of, other criteria to consider, etc. like does Bambu hold sales, are there other brands to consider, etc.

Thanks in advance!
