I think it's finally upgrade time. While I love my Neptune 2, it definitely has its issues.

Ideally, my next printer would have:

Built-in auto leveling, so I don't have to install a BL Touch
An enclosure
Be slightly larger than the Neptune 2
Open source firmware
OctoPrint support

I was looking at the Prusa MK4, but it seems like a high price for what you get. Any recommendations?

I probably won't be going for commercial use, just hobby stuff mainly. It would be neat to do some nylon stuff but that's probably as crazy as I'd get.

But yes, ideally my budget is $450-1200 (wide I know, but I'd like to explore my options).
