Yeah that plate size is a no go. I just got the Elegoo Centauri Carbon and it allows me to use my Bambu Labs plates on it. I heard this printer is faster than the Elegoo, but the sizeā¦ can't get past it.
For this price, I'd look at the new elegoo pre-order.
The 220x220 is basically the old "standard" size build plate used on the Ender 3 and many other printers. Lots of options and support for that size. However the 255x255 Bambu size is clearly becoming a new standard as several companies are making their printers work with BL sized build plates, Elegoo included.
The open from version of this printer and the Elegoo are basically the same price once shipping is added to the Elegoo. This one is more expensive than the enclosed Elegoo. I'm curious what the difference are (other than plate size). One pro of the FF 5M Pro (and 5M) is the bed leveling is fast. It's not a big deal to run it before most prints. I use it frequently because I've got several build plates. Every time I change plates I also run the bed leveling. The Elegoo leveling is slow, something like 15min. Not a big deal if you only use 1 plate but annoying for me. One other plus for this printer, I think it comes with both a 0.4 and 0.6mm nozzle out of the box. It also has a good fan system that can stick air out of the build chamber or recirculate it (both with filters) depending on a desired change temperature. I'm not sure what the Elegoo offers there.
My take is: if you want to spend money today, well I would do this vs Elegoo since it's a known system. However, if you can wait, wait and see what real users think of the Elegoo. It looks really promising and it's advantages might be more than just 30mm per side.
