This is still a good deal. I just don't want people to think this is some blazing deal where it's a "buy now, think later". Especially considering it's AliE and a 3D printer.

it does not include a camera, but you can plug a USB WebCam into it and it will work.

That said, I've had my share of issues. A lot of my early failed prints were user error (mostly prints not sticking to the plate), but even after troubleshooting, these machines often sit idle because I get so many failures compared to my Bambu printers. Another downside are the nozzle cost they run about $35–$40 each, which adds up fast.
There's also an optional enclosure kit to make it more like a P1S, but you have to print all the plastic parts yourself (the only included piece is the plexiglass panel and screws), and that kit runs another $40–$50.
For materials, I print exclusively with PETG and silk PLA. The reality is my Adventure 5Ms don't get much use anymore since my Bambu printers handle most of my work these days. Still, if you can manage the quirks and nozzle costs, the price here is good for what you're getting. imagine if you could get 10 or 12 of these for under $2,000 you'd have a farm.

I own two of these Sound Forge Adventure 5M printers. I picked them up for around $250 each, so at this price it's definitely a solid deal—when they're working right.

second comment about bed adhesion. was it just a leveling issue or things actually not sticking?

1. The default PLA bed temp is 50C vs 55-60 on some other printers. That might explain some of the again issues.
2. While I love printing without rafts, brims, sometimes a part design is just inherently not good at sticking. Those things really can help.
3. Masking tape/painters tape is a great build surface for challenging prints. It doesn't leave a nice surface finish but it holds well.
4. Sometimes the problem really is the shape of your part and/or it's orientation with respect to the infill. I had lift issues when printing a long thin, tall part. The part would fail at the same layer each time. When I watched carefully I realized the issue was my infill. Orca put the infill down at 45* to the bed. That meant some of the time the infill was along the length of my part. As it cooled it would put tension on the top layer of the print. It was trying to bend it like too tight guitar strings. Once I understood the issue it was easy to address.
Anyway, my 5M has been rock solid and a great printer. An easy recommend for me.
