How about the Creality CR-10 Max?

The specs look ok...but...It's Chinese...this may matter to you, or it may not...your money, your choice.

I read some bad reviews. They say it’s wobbly causing unpredictable print quality.

Yepp it even looks "wobbly" lol...not a lot of 'bracing" tbf...room for improvement....so how about this :-

Not perfect, but a lot of bang for ones buck...ymmv.

EDIT :- add some "extra" corner bracing and boooom.

My guess is that once you have printer that can print 10” you’ll have a project that’s 11” so you get a 12” printer, then you have a project that’s 13” and so on.

That's the way it is with my 6" jointer. Sure wish I had an 8" jointer!

I am actually really happy with my ~12 x 12 x 12 build volume. Mostly because it takes soooo looonnnggg to print big prints.

Though I also wish I had an 8" jointer! lol

Which printer do you have?

 

[Oscar56]

Its an Anycubic Mega X. Build volume is 11.8" x 11.8" x 12". The model has been retired and replaced with the Kobra series. Probably way better machine but my Mega has been a trooper printing out stuff almost non-stop for 7 months. I think I am on my 5th or 6th nozzle.

Is that about average for a 3D printer? I'm sure it depends on what material you print, volume of print jobs, number of spools of filament, etc. but just in general?

 

[Oscar56]

I don't actually know since this is my first printer but it is recommended changing them every 3-6 months but mine was printing almost non-stop.

I am also using cheap Chinese brass nozzles. They are dirt cheap and I think you get what you pay for. I did get some steel nozzles but I haven't used them yet.

Nozzles and the heating element hot ends are consumables.
