@ElegooI have this and the P1S and love them both. The Elegoo has become my primary printer other than when I'm doing multicolor as it prints just as well and faster based on my testing.

No... But that is like comparing a Lexus to a Kia...

Tempted... It is a great printer BUT 1) Lack of replacement parts, 2) Uncertainty if they will discontinue this model, 3) No Multi-Color option now or probably forever, 4) Ethics decision but do you support a company that pretty much lied then gave at best a bandage apology? Sort of slap that they lowered it another 30 bucks from their black Friday prices too... The only solution that comes close right now is the Flashpoint 5MPro and it is $290.53. Slightly smaller build volume but has a few positives that the carbon does not have.
  • Go with the
    Centauri Carbon
    if: you need a larger build volume, plan to print with higher-temperature or engineering-grade filaments -- 300 vs 280 nozzle. This does not have a HEPA filter but AD5M Pro does... You are going to want for Engineering filament too... ABA and Nylon I would not print unless in the basement or isolated... Whereas the 5M Pro has the HEPA. Plus 5M Pro is overall mome reliable.
  • Go with the
    Adventurer 5M Pro
    if: you prioritize a slightly higher maximum speed, a potentially more refined out-of-the-box user experience, and built-in features like an internal camera and more comprehensive air filtration for indoor use.

I don't own the mk3s, but I have the CC and it has handled everything I've thrown at it, from PLA, PETG, TPU to Nylon. In side by side tests it prints faster than my P1S.

I would take p1s or s1 over CC all day long

That's fine and that's what friendly debates are all about .

My personal perspective based on putting a lot of hours on both is if I didn't need multicolor for some of my projects I would 100% go with the CC even if they were the same price.

There absolutely are benefits the P1S has other than multi-color, mainly printing remotely from the Handy App and the ease of just printing straight from Makerworld, all though you can sort of do that on the CC from Printables. Those benefits are very good for people getting started. I don't really like to set my prints remotely and am running Octoeverywhere to monitor both my P1S and CC... the AI feature is great and has saved me a couple of major headaches.

I am absolutely not knocking the P1S. It's been great for me and have been running it pretty much nonstop since I've had it.

I have the Carbon and like it at the $300 price point I paid. I never intended to use an AMS so I'm not crying about the delay/cancellation of that feature. I mostly print 2a and functional automotive items. Does well with my preferred PA612-CF and ASA filaments. I installed a small 200W heater to help with filaments that like a higher, stable chamber temp. The motherboard is, apparently, an older model that is limiting the printers expandability and features a little. Hard to complain about it at this price point though

The AD5M Pro can be regularly had for ~$250 on Aliexpress with coupon code (shipped from US warehouse). You can also unlock the temperature limitation in the firmware with a simple firmware mod and a cheap upgrade hotend. I'm occasionally printing PPS at 350C with mine, and regularly print PPA-CF at 320C. It's only real downside now is it's build volume. I wish they would've at least given it a taller build volume, so that it would at least be in line with the Ender3, etc.

Exactly. Everyone has a preference.
P1s has parts more readily available from what I've seen as well as the app ams and ace pro units have more to offer than just color swaps can setup as filament refill, filament storage or using different materials to help with support removal.
I wanted the CC at first with the low price then I saw all the shady stuff elago was doing, on top of leading customers on a about a aMS and and about the centauri model.

I don't see it for that price right now, and you have to upgrade the heating element as well. All in the cost is quite a bit more than you're letting on

I was curious about 3d printing and SD pushed me over the edge back in February. I bought (pre-ordered) one of these and then ended up with a second one. These are great machines - both of mine have paid for themselves 3 fold via my Etsy store.

The specs on their website show a really low "ambient" temp range. I am assuming that is chamber temp as that is not listed specifically. Is this printer suited for engineering grade material? Having a bed temp rating of 110c and nozzle tip rating of 320c and then listing such a low max "ambient" temp of 40c seems odd.

I just checked, and it's $264 with coupon code right now (RDT56C), but it regularly fluctuates. Just a few days ago it was $232 with coupon code, if you check Slickdeals. Also, a replacement hotend can be had for as little as $10 for the TZ models (same hotend that many replace the Bambu hotends with) or $25 on sale for the Conch, which is a massive upgrade over pretty much every hotend that comes stock on any consumer printer. I'm printing at over 50 mm3/s with my 0.4mm nozzle, and over 70mm3/s with a 0.6mm nozzle, all with basic PLA.

Go with this over the Adventurer 5M if you don't support Flashforge's "we'll snitch on you to the cops if you print something naughty" BS.
