I’m a total noob when it comes to 3D printing and am frankly bewildered by all the options for machines. I don’t want to buy a printer and find out it won’t smoothly handle ASA. In fact my first print will almost certainly be a custom mount so that I can put my Tempest PWS on a 5"x5" vinyl fence post.

I’d like to keep it under $800 but if I will spend more to get a better machine and a better experience if I need to.

    I think most printers can handle ASA as my anet a8 managed it. Personally I would look for used prusa’s in my area they are like 500€ and I think they would be good enough. BambuLab printers are also great but I am not a huge fan of companies that turn off features that were offered previously like making all their stuff proprietary, so when you want to connect a slicer to the printer you need to go into a separate mode or something like that, I haven’t owned a BambuLab.
