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.

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.

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

I'm a novice 3D printer and my first printers were horrible to use for someone who doesn't like spending more time tinkering/fixing than printing. I splurged and dropped way more money than I had ever expected on a P1S and it was night and day. When the CC came out, I thought that finally a cheaper, similar printer to the P1S is within reach as a secondary printer. My experience with the CC wasn't like what I saw online in reviews. Don't get me wrong, it does a very good job when it is working. It was certainly better than the printers I had before the P1S. But I ended up adjusting and fixing clogs way more often than I had with the P1S.
After a lot of back and forth with Elegoo support, I got an entire printer head replaced. Things worked fine and then had problems again. 5-6 months after I got the printer, I sold it and bought another P1S when it dropped in price with the announcement of the P2S. Now I'm back to printing with no fuss again with this 2nd printer.
Like I said, the CC has great quality and speed when it works. But it seems it has a lot less room for error than the P1S. If you don't have the time to diagnose the problem when something does go wrong, save yourself the hassle and headache. Spend another $130 or so for the P1S.
