Bought this on previous deal. My first time ordering from Aliexpress as well, shipped from NJ by UPS, no problems at all.
Never had a 3D printer before, it's plug and play, setup is easy, the slicer software (Orca Flashforge) is easy to understand, I watched a 10min Orca tutorial on YT.

I did the same thing.. picked up an Ender 3 from a microcenter deal and it was a total pain in the ass. Terrible first impression to 3d printing.
man... if you guys think the Ender 3 was a PITA, you should be happy you didn't start 3D printing with earlier hardware. it was really, REALLY, bad LMAO

Tevo Tarantula crew represent! the early days of FDM were rough.
I think I'm gonna stick with my 1 material printer (Creality K1 that I got for like $250 a year ago on SD) until there are good deals on toolchangers. I can't stomach the waste from MM prints with the current AMS systems. This does feel like a ridiculous deal though if this is where you want to get on board.

In stock and ships to my address, until I put in the coupon, then it doesn't ship to my address (NY).
Try both browser and app. It said that to me when I use browse for I think, but then when I switched to app it worked. Or was it vice versa? Try them both.

Man, this is such a good price. Elegoo needs to hurry up and release their AMS or I'll just buy one of these. I'm pretty sure the AMS will cost about the same as this entire printer!
How is the Elegoo CC compared to this? I'm unable to decide between the AD5X and the Elegoo CC as a first time 3d printer

This is my first and only 3d printer, so can't compare to others. Paid like $370 a few months back and I've honestly been very happy with it!

Just ordered one to replace my first printer (Ender 3 Pro). This should be a nice upgrade.

My thoughts exactly haha I still have and have only used my only printer, the Ender V3SE. Honestly it's been a great experience with a bit of tinkering and learning. I couldn't imagine the whole Z adjustment being manual.. yikes.

Quote from TimelessJoe :
I started with the Ender 3 and spent more time tinkering with the printer to get it to print correctly than I did printing. Got this one two weeks ago and am loving it! no need to tinker with screws to level the bed. I printed one of those articulating dragons and it came out perfect the first time! I ended up ordering the camera but am not too impressed with the camera, seems to be a 720p quality but since the printer is in a different room, it helps to at least keep an eye on it (I was hoping to record and make time lapse videos for youtube Stick Out Tongue )
Thanks. That's the info I needed. I'm always trying to get my Ender 3 working, with successful prints being more common than unsuccessful.
