I have 2 of these machines running in my farm at all times. I have about 1000+ hours on them and have only minor issues with adhesion (my fault, should've washed plate more) and a weird issue with the filament snaking its way into the extruder gear when I had run out and replaced with more filament. Both incidents haven't happened again. For the money, it's a great machine and perfect to start on a corexy machine. It's helpful to have experience with 3D printing, but not really necessary. Lots of youtube tutorials are available for you to use should anything come up.

What sort of issues do you have printing with PLA in the enclosure?
I went with the FF 5M Pro and even with the doors open, I get pretty bad heat creep into the HE.
I think it is a combination of bad HE design and bad cooling design.

I bought an enclosed printer because I preferred the compactness of it compared to building my own enclosure. Also, I experienced issues with larger parts coming off the bed and was advised that keeping the ambient temperature higher with an enclosure would combat this. So after purchasing an enclosed printer, only to be told to leave all the doors open for PLA kind of defeats the purpose.

I have the CC and have no issues printing with the door closed and the top on. Also I don't have the vented top mod. The enclosure fan dissipates enough heat to not have any issues.

Isn't this the same printer that Elegoo screwed over their early adopters by promising AMS deployment, then abandoning an AMS solution and offering some lame coupon for a future release with promised AMS?
Edit:
Yep, it is. Don't buy this garbage and here's why -

I ordered on Amazon and chose the 7% cashback delay at checkout instead since it comes out the same in the end.

Frustrating for those who were wanting for the AMS, sure... Though I don't personally think they did it to screw users they just ran into tech issues and supposedly are still working to see if they can figure it out.

But it's still a very capable printer that usually matches quality and often faster than my X1C for 1/4th the price. Once if the better choices for the sub $300 range in my opinion.
