Lowest I've ever seen is $210 so this is a great deal.

How does this compare to a Bambu printer? Obviously this is half price, just wondering what I'd be missing.

If you are really tight on budget, get this. I have two 5Ms. Next step up would be the Centauri Carbon from Elegoo.
However, if you have a more polished and elegant solution (but not necessarily higher print quality) then go with Bambu.

I got one from FB marketplace a year ago. I feel like it's a p1p clone in many ways, definitely in form factor, coreXY, speed and appearance. The quality is pretty good and it's so much faster than my Ender 3. I doubt it's as polished as an experience as the p1p but I didn't mind as I was used to having to fix / upgrade my ender 3. I had a great experience with CS actually. The used unit I got from FB had a broken screen and cable, and the CS rep was able to send a replacement screen and ribbon cable for free.

Also, the AD5M uses a proprietary hotend, but if you look around you can find 3rd party replacements (~$10) that use standard replaceable nozzles.

If you don't have experience fixing issues with a 3d printer, this will likely not be the 3d printer for you, unless you want to learn that stuff. If you just want to unbox and start printing, then the Bambu would be for you.

I'm probably one of your nit pickier customers, and I've gotta say.... FF is anything but bad CS. On the forums they've got great feedback for CS too!

My experience was great. I emailed, got reached out, got instructions on what to do next. That didn't work, so sent me warranty parts. It took a while I will admit, but they never ghosted me.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't keep my AD5m stock...

Aftermarket Nozzles are a must (stock nozzles are expensive, and not interchangable), aftermarket plates are highly reccomended (It's a fun printer, get some FUN plates!). I dont think you'll never need to get the enclosure kit. It doesn't seal well, it pops the magnets out all the time (very annoying), and makes the printer more fragile (it's a task to move with the enclosure kit - it's a cool, but i feel a fairly poor design).

You can also find the original hotends on AliExpress for $17 apiece. I picked up the whole set (.25, .4, .6, and .8) for less than $70.

I bought one of these about a month ago with the ebay deal. Took it out of the box and started printing. I've had zero problems and been printing models like crazy. Had maybe 1 out of 20 prints fail because of lack of adhesion to the bed (part falls over) but like with everything like this there's a learning curve. Been happy with it for what I spent which was more than this deal. I have no idea about making a purchase like this with Ali express as I've only ever bought small things from there.
