 I haven't looked at the market in obey two years. I would not ever spend that much on a printer. Especially not one like the Bambu that phones home. 

I took a peak. The Creality Ender 5.

It's over your budget, but your budget is ignorantly incorrect to start with. By the time you replace everything that sucks, you'll have spent more than you ever wanted to and had way too much frustration. 

You'll need to eventually mod the Ender 5,but, you're starting with a much better platform.
