Now that Bambu is off the table, which budget-friendly 3D printer would you recommend?

Possibly. For me it's not a big deal to leave the doors open. I knew about that limitation, so when I was reorganizing my space around it I planned for it, and with the build plate also providing heatat the bottom it doesn't seem to hurt the performance of the chamber heater.

If you do get the enclosure and chamber heater, I'd recommend waiting until all parts have arrived for assembly. It was a few weeks before my chamber heater arrived, and the installation requires opening the bottom of the printer up and attaching a control cable to the board and running it alongside the pre-wired fan cables.
