No, it isn't "just as good" as the Bambu P1S. It also isn't the same price.
This is true. Someone on another deal thread explained that to me in more detail and I'm glad I shelled out for the P1S. I would also advise against letting the SD factor weigh you for this FlashForge if you are truly looking for the absolute premium experience. If you want to get into 3D printing and don't mind some imperfections, then this is a great deal. Gotta figure out what you really want before you pull the trigger.

I have experience 3D printing from the early days with MakerBot, etc and I wanted the most premium the market has to offer under $500. I did not want to f#@ around with leveling, the occasional subpar prints, less smooth workflows, reliability, etc. if I can help it. That was my rationale for Bambu.

I currently have a Bambu p1s. I have had it for 2 months and it has had to have 2 warranty claims. Their process is a nightmare! Each time I had an issue they want troubleshoot it. I actually prefer troubleshooting over a warranty claim however each step of the troubleshooting process takes 1 to 2 business days for a response on EACH step. So it can take weeks before they admit its a warranty issue. Now that my printer is down again I rather get a cheap DIY printer and fix it myself. This printer is smaller but its cheaper than the $300 ams I was going to buy as an add on for my P1S. Hopefully Ill have better luck here.

I have this and love it. Highly recommend it. My friend has a much better Bambu but it's so much more expensive. This was perfect to get started with 3D printing.

They had the page up for the Creator 5 for a while, since taken down, and it will be $799 ($649 if you can get in on the pre-order when it goes live).

You can still see the summary on Google

Wondering the same thing. The v3 KE has been nice to learn on (got it on an ebay deal a few years ago), but kids want multicolor and the ender has just never been great and finicky.

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

It can be a little confusing but if you want to save money it's generally good. I would say be careful and make sure you buy from sellers with good reviews.

I have not had issues with deliveries.

However, my account has stopped working a couple times. For some reason all payments just stop working for me. I even reached out to customer support this last time. They claim its my credit card. But I have added new credit cards and they all fail.

Based off the little information I can find, I'm guessing my account get's flagged for using too many coupon codes. But I have no clue.

I'm about to try opening another account to see if I can get around this latest issue.

Considering this for my daughter's 10th birthday, would the filament in this deal work for this, or is there a better deal for filament?

10-Pk 1kg GEEETECH 1.75mm ABS+ 3D Printer Filament - 2026-03-18

Also, does this printer do the jointed animals? She really likes those.

Thanks for any help someone can offer!
