I’ve been using a Bambu Lab A1 and A2L for quite a lot of hours, and now I want my first CoreXY mainly for ABS/ASA, so I’m looking for an enclosed printer.

My budget is around $800.

In my country:

K2 Pro: ~$700–800
Bambu P2S: ~$720–900
Bambu X2D: ~$1,000-1,200

I’m considering the K2 Pro because of the price, but I previously had a bad experience with a K1 at school, so I’m not sure about Creality’s reliability.

I’ve had a good experience with Bambu, so the P2S feels safer, but it can cost significantly more here and does not have an active heated chamber.

I’m not particularly concerned about maintenance, so I’m mainly interested in reliability, print quality and how well each printer handles ABS/ASA.

I’ve been using this for about 4 years. It keeps disconnecting, and sometimes it works normally.

I don’t want to buy a second-hand one online, though.

What if I ask Apple replace the battery for around $30? Would they give me a new sealed replacement, or would they just replace the battery?
