Sigh. Please do some searching. FF was threatened by the NYAG along with other 3D printer companies. Thay is why they released the statement. They have later made it very clear that they do not track what you print. Only if you put the files on FF servers would they know what you are printing.

Again, please stop with the misinformation if you don't understand the issues.

Woah, I don't think I've seen it this low before.

I recently got the AD5M, the single color version, and it's been solid. Might have picked this up instead if it had hit this price before I made my purchase

This is a hell of a deal. It's been going consistently for between $260-$270 for a while now. If you're looking to get into 3D printing, I don't think you can do any better than this. You won't regret being able to print in 4 colors.

Might be the best price in a good while, besides maybe better cashback deals and the old PayPal promos before.

I doubt it for a long while but I wonder if we'll see any amazing deals on the Creator 5

Does anyone know how to bypass the "Can't ship to your location" issue?

Quote from RodrigoR8581 :
Sure thing, bud. Maybe they aren't or maybe they are. The only BS was their attempt at backpeddling after they received all the backlash. I would just suggest anyone who is thinking of buying one to do their own research and make that decision on their own.

They've taken down their Facebook post from Nov 13, 2025 (but can be found on several forums online) that says:
"FLASHFORGE DOES NOT SUPPORT OR CONDONE THE 3D PRINTING OF FIREARMS OR WEAPON COMPONENTS. (SUBJECT TO THE FLASHFORGE USER AGREEMENT.) FLASHFORGE PROHIBITS USING OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES TO CREATE FIREARMS OR WEAPON COMPONENTS. VIOLATIONS MAY LEAD TO ACCOUNT TERMINATION AND REFERRAL TO AUTHORITIES."

Been using the 5M a lot the past couple weeks, been very impressed with it.

Not having to change out spools for different colors would be nice.
