I’ve narrowed it down to the Anet A8, Anycubic Kossel, and the Tevo Tarantula
The A8 has the highest print volume, is the cheapest, and has good community support, but the heat bed is only 95 degrees, the print quality I’ve seen doesn’t seem great, and it also has no fan.
The Anycubic Kossel has great print quality from what I’ve seen, comes with filament and a bracket, but i am concerned that the circular 180mm x 320mm won’ tb enough space.
The Tarantula looks good becuase it has a decent print volume, heated bed, and comes with 2 spools of filament. However, it has no fans, and I’ve heard it may need upgrades to be more stable.
Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help you can possibly provide.

Anet A6 is a bit better. Prints excelent with proper settings, has fans for extruder and filament nozzle. I heated the bed to a bit more than 110 degs, but didn’t need so much. You can go more if u insulate the bottom of bed.

The A6 is a slight upgrade to the a8. Ifnothing else the frame is more rigid seeing as it is one piece.
All of these printers are upgradeable. And you will likely upgrade tham as every part is the cheapest available. What you are buying is a project. ALL the printers in this price class need upgrades.
Also I would not eliminate a printer from consideration because of one or two small issues. Like the bed temperature on the A8. If you insulate the bottom it gets hotter and if you buy a MOSFET board and a second power 24 volt supply you could cook burgers on it. (almost)
