Sunlu has put the two large size 3D printers, the S9 Plus with filament dryer and the S8 Pro, on sale again. Even a bit cheaper this time, with the S9 Plus being priced $10 lower.
The S9 Plus, which includes an S1 Plus filament dryer box, is now available for $189.99, and the older S8 Pro for $118.99. Both printers have a 310x310x400mm build volume.
The S9 Plus comes with auto bed leveling, dual Z-axis, a filament runout and clog detection sensor, a flexible magnetic build plate, and filament dryer integration, allowing the printer to control the filament dryer. The S1 Plus filament dryer box is included with the printer, which has a fan to remove humidity more effectively compared to the standard S1 filament dryer. The dryer box is worth around $30-$40. While not the fastest printer, when properly calibrated, the S9+ should produce nice prints at a reasonable price for its size.

The S8 Pro, being an older model, lacks auto bed-leveling, so it may not be the best choice for beginners. However, at $119 it could be a cost-effective option for those looking to upgrade to a large-format printer within this price range who would like to upgrade and tinker with it.

You could bring them kind of up to the level of a Neptune 4 Plus (which would be the Neptune 4 series printer of this size), but that would require some tinkering. The parts are not that expensive, but I would print a new direct drive toolhead with better part cooling fans and also add a SBC for Klipper.
