Thanks for the input. There is a lot to think about, and whilst $1,000 is ok, if I can get a good result for less, then I have no objections to that.

Thanks to all who have weighed in

Thank you. That was the plan. Looks like a fun project and it always amazes me how resourceful and thoughtful all of my kids are. It’s the sort of project that will make him think, and appreciate the finished product in a way that the preassembled one wouldn’t.
Three evenings is a good period of time for a serious, kit set project
Thank you. Bambu has been the number one recommendation from people I know. Cursory research looked great, but there were some reservations from people whose opinions I value.

Awesome. Another needy pet in the household!
Hi all, Thanks for the replies thus far. Budget is about AUD$1,000
Not sure about printing materials, I need help there. Plenty of space for the printer and any peripherals needed.
