Ended up ordering a Sovol SV06 off Amazon for $259, lots of reviews say it's a great beginner printer and is basically a Prusa MK3S+ for a lot cheaper.
It has a direct drive extruder and a full metal hotend which I wanted so I could print PETG without worrying about PTFE fumes at higher temperatures that other hotends that have a PTFE tube have. Has a big enough build area to print what I've got planned. Got some tool steel nozzles as well so I can print some more abrasive filaments (some makers I watch use carbon reenforced filament to great success for enclosures and such).
My wife says this counts as my father's day gift lol.
