Sovol has the SV04 IDEX 3d printer on sale for $349 with the $30 off code 30SV04 and it also comes with two spools of filament.

The SV04 is a large IDEX (Independent Dual Extrusion) printer. The IDEX system has one advantage over other multi-material systems, it doesn't change the filament in the individual toolheads, so it needs little purging, usually no purge tower, and there's less to go wrong while doing a color swap. However, it's limited to two materials/colors and the printer itself is not the fastest. If you mainly want to print support structures with a different material it might be worth it.

Specifications:
  • Extrusion Tech: Independent Dual Direct Drive Metal Extruder (IDEX)
  • Build Size: 300mm x 300mm x 400mm
  • Build Plate Dimension: 310mm*320mm
  • Printer Dimensions: 653mm(L) *625mm(W) *803mm(H)(including filament holder)
  • Layer Resolution: 0.1mm
  • Positioning Accuracy: X/Y 0.012mm Z 0.001mm
  • Supported Print Materials: PLA, TPU, TPE,HIPS, ABS, PETG, WOOD, PC, PA, PVA, ASA.
  • Print Speed: 20~120mm/s(suggested 60mm/s)
  • Stock Nozzle Diameter: 0.4 mm
  • Operational Extruder Temperature: Max 260°C
  • Input Formats: .STL, .OBJ, DAE, AMF
  • Connectivity: SD Card or Data Cable

I've been running the sv04 for almost 2 years. It's my go to if I want to duplicate, mirror, dual color, different support material, nicest finish printer. I currently use on a consistent basis: sv04, qidi x-plus 2, and kobra max. I also have an ender 5 pro, aquila, and crealty halot resin printer

the sv04 has a big print volume and, after dialing in, a consistent print output. If it had an an enclosure I'd use it 95-100% of the time (it's my go to 85% of the time now - limiting factor being filament usage/laziness). I use prusasclicer to make my prints work for me via painting. I've been considering the bambulab x1c for 6 months but the print size is too small for me considering the price point.

the sovol is not without its detractors though. While It took me a few hours (I might have been drinking) to dial in, some people cannot get consistently good prints despite hours/days/weeks of tweaking of settings. It was my third or 4th printer after the aquila, ender 5 pro, and halot (not sure where the sovol was in the lineup vs halot)

I really recommend a pei sheet (and maybe silicone bed leveler (forget if the sv04 has stock springs or silicone spacers)). I re-level the extruders every few months or weeks to make sure that each extruder is printing where it should
ymmv but, for me, it's one of my favorite (and most consistent) printers
