SD listing image is of the printer with the DIY Enclosure Kit installed. I just finished installing mine last night. $40-ish for the kit from FlashForge, then a couple rolls of PETG to print it all. It's a great upgrade, but at the end of the day, I spent more turning my AD5M into a quasi version of the Pro model (except without built in filtration) than if I had just bought the Pro. If the Pro comes down near $210-ish, buy that instead if you think you'll want it enclosed at any point. I enjoy how much quieter it is. I wish I had spend the extra $60 (at the time) and just gotten the Pro instead.
I'm currently displaced from my home office in the basement so I've been printing in populated places in the house. Sound reduction and VOC isolation (if that's even possible) was also a big motivator. If you're printing where sound, temp, and air quality aren't a huge concern, you certainly don't need to bother with an enclosure. It does the exact same thing either way.
1) I bought a bunch of dollar item deals, fully expecting the majority of them to be junk. Some of it was; however the majority of items were better quality than expected. All in all, much better than I expected; and
2) Twice I made a purchase, and the seller rerouted the order to a random address. My guess is that rather than shipping my items, they shipped junk, rerouted it, and hoped to cash in before it was caught (somewhat common scam). Both times, AliExpress handled it quick. 1st time, I contacted them, and they had a refund to me in 10-15 minutes. Second time, they actually contacted me to let me know they were refunding the order. I was actually impressed by how on top of it they were.

There is a $13 one still active in the US - USCD13 (USCD20 didn't work but should be 20 off). Which brings to total to 176.61 before fees/taxes (total 202.08 delivered to California).
