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).
I don't think the MK4 is a good value in this case. You are already familiar with setting up and maintaining a budget printer as such it just works of Prusa isn't as critical.
The answer might be your current printer: Octoprint and opensoucre are possible, bed leveling is build in, enclosure can be build but not ideal for bed slinger and size upgrade is the only point not feasible.
What are you looking for if this isn't an option?
pre-built options?
DIY-kits (most if not all of them are $1000+)?
You should probably get the Neptune 4 pro it has a fully open source software with klipper and you can install octo everywhere.
Do you know how well the auto leveling works?
