Yup. You are correct that it's normal for multicolor printing. Outside of multi-head printers which are generally pretty expensive, there is going to be a lot of purge waste as the printer has to extrude colors before switching to the next color. Multi color prints also take longer.

280 out the door free shipping for a core xy 4 color machine is nuts. And I can finally use some of my old ender 3 beds again since it's only 220x220. This will replace my a1 mini.

Anyone know what the warranty claim process is like for these? Part of me is worried these are items that didn't meet quality-control for the more mainstream/legitimate retailers, but I could just be paranoid.

I am in Nebraska and I was able to order from the app. Looking forward to comparing print quality vs my P1S and Elegoo CC.

Another good flashforge deal, I got a feeling they're about to unveil their own tool changer.

I have been printing PETG with this thing. While it works well, if you have a print that is long and spans across the build plate, I noticed that it lifts up the build plate as the PETG shrinks a bit. While not a big deal but it def needs a stronger magnetic bed. Alternatively you can use an enclosure with higher ambient temp to reduce shrinkage but I didn't bother. Also the replacement parts are kinda expensive compared to other companies. However, for the base price I am pretty happy with it and has been a good work horse.
