best print farm 3d-printer for PETG? (lemmy.ml)

Looking to get another printer that shall be printfarm compatible. What do I mean?

reliable
easy to service
excellent replacement part availability
affordable
affordable replacement parts
AMS (switching spools once it runs out & multi-color within a flat layer [not vertical/between layers])

Normally I would just buy another A1 mini (180€ without AMS) or P1S (650€ with AMS) but with recent issues with the printer & support quality & them banking hard on proprietary with Support staff who don't know what their error messages mean make me question if those are still the best option or if some other company meanwhile took the crown.

other spec:

approx. 256x256mm
exclusively used with PETG-filament
enclosed (keeping dust out)
network connected. ideally with a web service to use it remotely
in stock (this sadly disqualifies the Elegoo Centauri Carbon which seems to be the goto at the moment).

Terrible bed adhesive. Cleaned the bed multiple times. Tried with and without glue sticks. It had over 2mm of deviation.

Prints would always warp on the right side where the aux fan was blowing on them.

I guess I'm lucky... My bed has <0.6mm deviation. I've had it for a couple of months printing almost every day and my biggest issue is an occasional layer shift.
