The A1/A1 mini are a solid choice and quite set and forget, until something goes sideways. I bought an A1 mini a couple weeks ago as a third printer and I'm quite impressed by it, even though I had binding issues with the Z axis lead screw that took almost an evening to solve (if you search "A1 mini
