Purchase Advice Megathread: What To Buy, Who To Buy It From, And More, In March 2019.

I was looking at a FlashForge Guider IIS but was told it wasn't a good option. I like the larger build volume and that it has a resume-in-case-of-power-failure option. I'm struggling to find something that's similarly appealing at a similar or lower price. Any advice/suggestions are welcome.

Category Details
Budget 2000 USD (25000 ZAR)
Country South Africa
Setup Preferably minimal, but I can assemble and solder if necessary
Use Functional Prints, Disability Assistive Devices and other mechanical engineering design projects (like a tennis ball launcher for my dog, phone holster to attach to a wheelchair frame, etc)
Limitations Unreliable Power Grid (National Loadshedding)

Thanks.
