Anycubic is your basic offline 3d printer. ($100)

A good starter 3d Printer with Bed leveling.  

Use an enclosure for better performance.

Can be a pvc frame with cloth over it.

Eleego Neptune 4 Pro

($269)

Lan Capable  plus Zoned Heating Plus Klipper Advanced Firmware

In summation… 2 Bambu machines can do the work of 8 Prusa machines which with enclosures would cost around $11,200

Eleego have much of the capabilities plus they are open source. The Anycubic machines are good as entry level machines and achieve great flexibility. A bank of 4 anycubic machines can be productive but the stigma of the Bambu machines will probably attract work.

3D printing is a 20 plus percent growth industry worldwide.

The equipment has become very reasonable going from thousands to hundreds of dollars at the

Entry level. The high end enjoys a substantial reduction in price also.

Increases in speed of builds are regular.  

The capability of integrating other materials and parts into builds is not universal.

Prusa slicer and other  allows for this but the firmware implementation is not universally enabled at the printer controllers.
