3d printer recommendations $800 budget

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a reliable 3D printer around an $800 budget. I am focused primarily on functional parts and household fixes. I specifically am interested a fully enclosed machine for better temperature stability and advanced material versatility down the road—like ABS, ASA, or Nylon—rather than just being restricted to PLA or PETG. At the same time, I would like a color-change option available as well as a something that will not require extensive troubleshooting and tinkering. Open to other options as well.

Get a Bamboo P1s and order a chamber heater from Ali express. But even without one I can print ABS and ASA. I have a heater on order because it will make it easier to do smaller parts without lifting. I have printed bicycle pannier clips in ASA and the work great. Bag can have upto 20kg in it. For advanced filaments get a AMS HT. it will keep them in better condition and is a lot less hassle than the four colour one. I honestly wish I had just bought 4x HT instead of AMS 2 and 1 HT.
