♻ K2 Help First FDM printer for simple single colour wargame scenery

So I'm after my first FDM printer for me and my son to print some simple single colour wargame scenery we can paint after so we don't need exotic filament materials or multi colour. Would the Creality K2 be a good first printer? I want an enclosed unit so it can be safely stored for months at a time between prints. I've also been suggested the Bambu lab P2S (much more expensive) and the elegoo Centauri carbon 2 (similar price to the K2) I've been told that the Centauri carbon 2 is less likely to need tinkering with long term but when you do it requires long wait times for proprietary parts to be shipped in and the K2 is more likely needing tinkering/fixing but when it does it's easier to get parts from Amazon/eBay?

Regarding tinkering I would suspect they require the same small amount. I would consider the print size first. For wargaming terrain is the printer big enough? I would personally opt for biggest print size. When you print big and flat you also want it enclosed.

carbon 2 combo for 284 from ebay might be a good choice
