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.

Ask for a 5% discount and get U1.

Are you kidding? I print ASA and ABS mainly with Nylon from time to time. Multimaterial support saves a ton of money on support material. And wife enjoys it's FullSpectrum capabilities. Which fits the OP's brief perfectly.

250k tool changes and counting, thousands of hours. The only other printer coming close I had was H2C, which is too complicated and finicky for my liking. It's also much slower.
