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.

How does this compare to the bambu p1s or p1p?
Well I don't have those Bambu printers so I guess I'm not really answering your question but I have the AD5X and it has worked flawlessly for me so far - I have only tried PLA (multiple cheap and decent types).

I m currently installing the dry boxes and the enclosure and have screwed up the LCD screen and their support is sending me a new one. They have been very helpful.

PS. I got my AD5X for about $100 more than this and am very satisfied with that purchase; at this price it is a steal IMO.

I am getting about 20 dollars in additional fees when I go to check out (I'm assuming tax?), so my out the door total is closer to 270. Is that what most everyone else is seeing?
Yes, it's the tax showing up as additional fees. I bought one last week. It's working great so far.

Is it gone? It's telling me that it's unavailable at my delivery address in TX
When I add to cart it's telling me it can't be shipped to my address?

I really wish I could justify getting this. This would be my first 3D filament printer but I need to stop spending money on stuff!

I buy the cheapest PLA I can find and have not had any issues so far. Just do a search here for PLA and find a pack with colors you need. I aim for under $10 for 1KG.

I get a message after adding the code that it doesn't meet the minimum purchase amount. I tried on a desktop in Chrome and on the app on my phone. Any ideas? Thanks

Grab some of that PLA+ from the deal on here. The 4 pack with matte purple, pink, green and blue. I printed with it today and it's great.

Quote from SociableHaddock3665 :
i spent all night assembling mine, and leveling the bed before they have CR bed leveling. it was depressing.Never got it perfect.
I bought the auto-leveling kit, new beds, a new motor, new nozzles, different filament, new stepper gears...now it's in a closeable fume hood in a high school science class so that I can maintain temperature. It's never worked consistently. For the money I've put in, I could've paid twice as much. For the hours, I could've paid 10x as much.

For context, this is coming from a guy that's built computers for decades, repairs his own cars and appliances, renovates homes (by hand, not contractors), worked as a professional engineer, and owns two soldering irons. The Ender 3 is simply difficult to keep working consistently. So when I hear people get perfect prints their first try with this--it's a lot, a game-changer at least.

My bad, that was the PLA bundle. This is the PLA+ pack I was thinking of. I got them both. 🤙 Enjoy! https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/t/18636829?referrerid=1923492
