This seems like it's possibly the best low cost printer option right now. It's got the somewhat bigger build volume of the printers that followed the Bambu build size vs the older Ender 3 build size (260x260 vs about 250x250 for Bambu or 220x220 of the Ender). It also can be upgraded with the Creality multi color system.
It's likely not as fast as the various K1 and Flashforge printers but it's not old school Ender 3 slow. The lack of an enclosure makes printing some filaments harder but it should do PLA nicely. This might be the best really low cost printer deal right now though it comes with the Creality refurb question. That and I really do like the FF5M I've had for the last year and a half.
Any deal on refurbished CFS? Do they sell them refurb and what do they go for refurb?
Not that I was able to find but I am hopeful that in the future I'll be able to source one cheaply. For now I'm fine with single color printing on a larger build plate.

Just found one open box for $160 after coupon. I'm not going to bite as I'm willing to wait for bargain basement prices but thought you might be interested:

Thanks
I still think it's too high too
I mean for $100 more I can just get another A1C.
These AMS units are so overpriced it's ridiculous.
Bambu gives it to you for $100 with the printer purchase and it feels like light as a feather,well the AMS lite does and that is actually the superior design.
No retraction and Center mounted spools is the way to go.
If we're $200 for the combo I would jump.
I mean for $100 more you get a brand new A1C as opposed to gambling on these
And not even sure you can use the coupon twice.
You gain for Z volume and have Klipper but that's it.

The kobra 3 combo is still $220 and does 256mm (higher on the z). That is only $100 extra for the material handling system included.
I mean it really should
At least sell the combo for $199
Things are evolving so quickly
I have to say this printer is nicer than the new ender 3 V4
And the ender 3 V3
And the ender 3 V3 looks better made than the new ender 3V4
The gantry on the ender 3v4 looks very flimsy and the whole thing looks like a Bambu A1 clone just with a weaker gantry.
I like the look of the HI and the V3 better.
But let's face it reasonably priced multi tool and multi material without poop is going to make all these current machines obsolete very fast
Received mine yesterday and found that it was just a used product. Still had filament on the plate, leftover benchy residue, and missing screw + one of the feet.
Seems not much has changed in quality over the years for Creality
I received mine and it looks to be built and refurbished well. Except for the sticker on the screen protector it was just stuck onto the screen and a pain to remove. But it prints well and I was able to get a 2nd build plate for 8 bucks. This is a great printer for the price paid. It is quieter than my flashforge coreXY but not as fast. But I do like it, as it has not had a failed print yet with it. Already have ran through an entire roll of pla within a few days.

As was the creality_refurbish K! I just bought. Refurbished does suggested used, but with the added component of refurbished. Mine was used-defective. It still had the users data on it showing the error codes it was throwing that were still showing up for me. I was able to correct it. You need to be willing to repair these "refurbished" printers. I had asked for a replacement but that was not possible as the stock was depleted. It does come with a 2 year warranty.
