lol why? Also, to anyone else, are these good? Last printer I owned was a Ender 3. Hoping to buy something that self levels and kinda does the tedious stuff itself.

Can get it close to $200 with cash back at a certain site, 20%. Good deal with that. Mine runs flawlessly, even with 95a TPU, definitely the best bang for the buck.
I got an offer for 35% cash back. Also paypal was giving $15 off on purchases over $150 yesterday.

They are great, I have two of them printing stuff right now. I went from a couple of Ender 3v2, these are light years better. They just work, and print super fast.

I have had an Ender in the past as well. I now have a Elegoo Centauri Carbon which is a similar machine but only single color. It is defintely worth the upgrade. They do have a more expensive Centauri Carbon 2 which is similar to this but more expensive. You would probably be better off with a Bambu Lab P2S over the Elegoo though. If you really don't want to worry about fixing your printer and want a really clean out of box experience go with the Bambu lab if you can afford it. All these printers are so much better than the cheap creality ones.

I have this one. My son uses it all the time.

I need some help with multicolor printing. So far my son is selecting colors manually and printing only with one color at a time.

Anyone know any website from where I can get some free and cool multicolor stuff which this printer can handle ?
In Orca when you highlight the object there is a box up top you can select to "paint" it. Various ways to go about it there.

Within OrcaSlicer there are painting tools (red box in photo) that can do what you want. In the attached photo i simply changed the filiment (colors) at different layers to give you an example. Hope that helps.

This is a good deal but is it just as good as the bamboo p1s and does their website give a lot of sample items to print
No, it isn't "just as good" as the Bambu P1S. It also isn't the same price.

I have never purchased from aliexpress, is it reliable? Any issue with products? Any hidden charges or hassle in returns?
