This is a pretty great price. Even better if you're able to get others to PM and beat it! Wonder if Best Buy, Ali or Temu would.

They were around $250 back in October but haven't been anywhere near that in months.

I would lean towards the Ad5x for core xy, unless you need the 35mm extra bed size. Flash forge has some of the best bang for the buck machines out there. The 5M has been under $150 recently too, that's crazy.

I got mine 3 weeks ago and I haven't stopped printing. From my research, the only way to do better was to drop twice as much on a Bambu. It works great for 4 color prints and I'm nothing but happy. They even just updated the slicer software and firmware on the printer to be even more versatile.

I bought one last year with one of these deals and it's been fantastic. A little quirky at times, but aren't they all? I've been using it a lot more often than the FLSun Delta that I have, due to the auto leveling and of course multi color capabilty. Would recommend.

This printer has been my work horse. Very dependable prints. I had issues with it at first, once I worked out the kinks it's been a great printer. I also purchased the enclosure kit with it. You have to print the frame, the kit is only the plexiglass and the attaching hardware.
