Did Creality have more than one version of the CFS or is it the same for all their machines? This would be a heck of a cheap way to get a CFS.

Same CFS, I bought this so I can sell the printer and add the CFS to my K2 plus, it's almost a free CFS...

Would this be a good machine for a beginner. What to buy it for my niece and nephew but I'm sure they have no knowledge about 3d printing so they are gonna have to figure it out themselves

Refurbished, it's a gamble if you are going to get a good one.

So I bought and sold my Flashforge AD5X without using it (I needed funds). Now the deal is over. How does this compare to AD5X?

Bought a refurbished V3 and it was missing the gantry bolts and most of the tools that normally come with a new printer. Once assembled, it worked just fine.

I wanted the flash forge for my son but don't want to over pay. Looking for alternatives

Sure, but you get two years of warranty coverage which is better than any new 3D printer

How interested in leaving are they and how tech comfortable are they?

I honestly think this is about as good as anything. It's not quite as good as Bambu but I doubt the differences are much to worry about. Think of it this way, a paper printer is a 90/100 on the easy to use scale. Bambu is 45, this is 40. All of these machines are far from the "just works" of a typical paper printer. You need to either count on pre made files or understand things like what shapes will require support or might have bed adhesion issues. Unlike the old Ender 3 printers (basically anything other than the V3 models) you don't have complex/fidgety setup procedures with these newer printers. Think of that like these others don't have paper jam issues. However, unlike the paper printer where you can basically expect your Word document will print regardless of what you typed, here the shape of your parts greatly affects your results.

Slower print speeds but I wouldn't call it slow. Bigger print volume (250^3 mm vs 220^3). Not really a good option for enclosing. The CFS I think has a dryer function. The FF is more compact.

Yea, average print speeds are around 300mm for good quality on all of these new printers. You can speed them up but quality is going to suffer greatly if you push them to their max ratings to the point they become unsightly unless you are just prototyping and dont care.

The build volume is much larger @ 260x260x300 on the HI. No active dryer, just compartments for drying packets.

Great deal even for the CFS. Replacing an Ender 3 v3 KE with this and adding the CFS to my K2 Plus. Creality needs to figure out how to stack CFS units.

I will greatly disagree with that assessment.
My A1 and my ender 3 V3 SE are
Waaaay easier to use than any ink jet printers I have used.
The ender 3 V3 SE was also a lot easier to assemble than the A1 was.
But both machines are a lot easier to use than any ink jet.
I have nothing but problems with paper printers and I frequently need to call support.
Getting things to print where I want them and how I want them and the right size is very challenging with paper printers as compared to 3D printers.
getting cloud print to work is always a problem with paper printers too.

I guess inkjets can be a pain. They aren't laser printers. But really a difference is the paper printer doesn't fail because of what print job you send it. FDM printers will.

I bought this a few days before black Friday and it's been a fantastic reliable printer. They did just tape the screen protector tape over the screen. That was a pain In the ass to remove but otherwise great machine. I've already used it for about 100 print hours.
