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.

Alot of people are having success with this, I'm about to pick one up... besides arent like 90% of 3d printers from china?

Sure thinking about this printer, but is it much of an upgrade of my elegoo neptune 4+? I guess multicolor, can get an enclosure, and most importantly not a bed slinger...

the only thing holding me back is I'd like to eventually print some beefier materials like PET-CF/PA6-CF20... probably just need a hardened steel nozzle? I just see they arent officially supported.

Been in the fence until now. Reviews look promising on this model and at this price it's almost a no brainer.

Total came out to $246.06 for me.

How are you guys getting the shipping to work? I live just outside Atlanta GA and it's saying unavailable to ship to my area. I've tried mobile, desktop, and app. Thanks!

I think I'm pulling the trigger on this. I was close a few times before with the other deals but I really like this one for a few reasons. If you're on the fence, here's a review of this model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW8Jy09-ns4

What about returns, RMA, warranty, repairs?

Anyone still getting the codes to work. I was going to pull the trigger earlier and didn't. Now when I try, it says the codes don't work. 😞

I filled out the shipping address, billing address and payment method before adding to my cart. No problem.

Would anyone be so kind as to give me their opinion on this deal vs the enclosed model? https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/18657946?referrerid=11336936

That depends...

If you care only about noise levels, no. The E3V2 is very quite, one of the quietest 3D printers I've ever used. Also the E3V2 prints a bit taller (~250 vs 220mm vertical, same XY).

However, if you are thinking about speed, print quality when prints are more challenging, being net works compatible, not messing with micro-SD cards etc, yeah this is better.

Really these are a lot faster (perhaps 2-3X faster in overall print time). These are also using the now common PEI or similar build plates (same size as those for the Ender 3 family). I don't have my printer on line but using the USB stick to move files is really nice. The screen interface is a bit smaller than the E3V2 but it does a lot more (shows a picture of the print for example). The screen doesn't look as nice as some of the capacities touch screens on others but I don't find it impacts the use of the printer. Well all that and it's multi-color... Also, the default slicer for the Ender 3V2 was Cura based. I think the current FF slicer is Orca based. I say think because with my 5M I am flat out using Orca.
