Need a 3D printer recommendation

[Wallaceman105]

So, going into the new year, I got my local game shop owner to agree to giving me shelf space for some 3D printed hobby accessories! I've had a few designs in mind for a while, so this is going to be really awesome! 

I'm trying to comb through to find the right printer, but I'm drowning in buzz-wordy Christmas ads. 

I'm looking for a decent printer that can work on a 8" cubic volume. One of my main products will be non-randomized dice, so I'm looking for a material with a bit of density, or the ability to pause mid-print and add a small weight. 

 

I'd appreciate any help that anyone can give, hope everyone's x-mas is going well!

If you ever do shipping, I would request a GPU mount, mine keeps sagging and I want to buy from someone who made it themselves, no corporation

If you want weight use filament with high metal content like this:

With similar filament running at like 20-30€ per kg you are looking at approx. 500-800% material cost increase over generic PLA.

Thank you! I was planning on looking into metal filament, that one looks pretty nice! 

Do you know what specs I need to look for in a printer so I'll be sure it can handle something like this?

That's a bit outside the wheelhouse I'll be working in, but maybe one day!
