Unless you need the extended holiday return policy from Walmart you should be able to get a better deal on AliExpress or eBay (this printer is usually included in the 20% off coupon categories).

They just made a statement that they are against print. (2a stuff) and will report users to the authorities. Don't recommend buying anything from flashforged

The claim that Flashforge made a statement against 3D printing "2a stuff" (firearms-related items) and threatened to report users to authorities appears to be a rumor or misinterpretation related to general cloud service restrictions, not an official company policy to report users for legal activity. There is no authoritative evidence in search results to support the specific user statement.
Online discussions in 3D printing communities mention that some companies might have control over cloud-based services and enforce certain terms of use, but this does not equate to actively monitoring or reporting users for printing legal items using offline methods (like a USB drive).
Flashforge is a Chinese manufacturer of 3D printers and software, known for products like the Adventurer and Creator series. Online reviews and discussions about Flashforge products generally focus on:
  • Customer support experiences, which are often described as poor or frustrating.
  • Printer quality and reliability issues.
  • Limitations or outdated features in their proprietary slicing software, FlashPrint, compared to open-source alternatives like Cura or OrcaSlicer.
The user's statement about avoiding Flashforge due to a specific "against print (2a stuff)" stance and reporting users is not substantiated by reliable sources, and seems to stem from general community concerns about potential (though not confirmed or widely enforced) cloud service monitoring, rather than an explicit company policy.

No evidence and rumor?!? Dude they made the announcement on their official Twitter (X) account.
-edit- apparently they deleted the post on X, you can however still see it on Facebook and their response to the post and wave of complaints they got 🤣

I am assuming that by "2a stuff" they are referring to 2nd amendment related items...

I presume that means they will reject print files that go through their servers that are for firearms parts (assuming they recognize it as such). Since they don't monitor the traffic from you copy of Orca slicer to the printer or files printed from a thumb drive this isn't really an issue. This isn't like Bambu Labs where the default setup basically includes having the printer call home. My 5M has never been on my wireless network and has only been on line with a wire twice to update the firmware.

Gotta love how the first picture makes it look like it's a closed case. A bit misleading. This is the one where you have to print or buy your own case right?

Yes, if you want the enclosure you have to print it yourself + get the kit (or just make your own). You don't need the enclosure BTW.

After it calls the cops, it calls the IRS, then calls one's mom.

Pulling any of my recommendations for Flashforge. They have come out on record that they are monitoring what your print at home and will alert the police if they think you are printing anything illegal

Dont support this police state garbage:
