I am looking go get back into 3d printing after being away for a number of years. Solidoodle 3 is collecting dust in the closet.

I am specifically interested in doing ABS or Nylon prints with PLA support. Hence i am looking at dual extruder printers. The one i am closely looking at now is Creality CRX.

What I am specifically interested in is a solid, easy to maintain printer. Don't want the flimsy 3d printed components that flex when printer heats up etc.
I am planning to enclose the printer into a hot box with temperature controlled heater.

Can you guys suggest a good printer to get for my needs? Are there better options than creality CRX?

Thanks ahead

I've seen some videos on youtube but don't know how many. The main thing i am thinking about is 1 vs 2 nozzles. 2 nozles will required more accurate calibration, howeve 1 nozzle may need "better discipline" with temperature control and i do not know if slicers will automatically add that gcode or not???

I've been out of 3d printing community for like 3 years...

FWIW
Have a friend that has been seeking to get
PLA and a dissolvable support to work on all kinds of machines.
