If you are looking at this over the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo for $322 consider this.
(by the way, I'm not dissing the AD5X I have two of them)

You start at $214
if you wan an enclosure then
$45 for the kit, plus about $25 in PLA/PETG to print the DIY parts:
$214 + $45 + 25 = $285

The Kobra Combo not only has an enclosure, it comes with a dry box, which is also it is a filament dryer.

If you want live a dry box, another $25 in filament to print it.
$310

If you want a dryer and dry box combo, instead of printing a dry box then the SUNLU 4 spool dryer/drybox is $99, so back to $285 + 99 = $384

That said, if you want a great entry printer there's nothing wrong with the AD5X. . If you don't want multi color, the AD5M is just fine for $175 ish. (AliExpress when on sale)

Yes. I have purchased this printer from this vendor and I have two friends that I've sent here and we've all had the same experience. Super fast delivery. Sent direct from the manufacturer. Comes from a warehouse in the US.

I was just looking at the ad5x, it's $329 at local microcenter. It's seriously $100+ cheaper from ali?

I'm inches away from buying at microcenter to ensure arrival and quality of product, but $100 is tempting.

Any experience getting 3d printers from this vendor? What are issues or challenges / considerations compared to the local shop?

Purchased from this dealer last time it was posted - arrived just fine, was able to add ZMOD to it out of the box. Not sure how they get it cheaper, but it was and legit, so i don't care either way.

I too purchased this item on the last posted deal. It shipped from a U.S warehouse and arrived quickly.
Worked fine since I completed the assembly and it continues to work great. It's actually fun now.
Much easier than the Creality CR5 I had several years ago. I love that all these new model has the auto-level.
I think I probably messed that up a lot in the past. Very fun to use. I hope the longevity is good.

I've been waiting for a sale on the AD5X to appear again and jumped all over it. I was contemplating buying from Amazon so I could include an extended warranty but at this price, it was too good to pass up. Appreciate all the good comments hear about this particular seller. Thanks KutluhanA for posting.

I believe this is actually from the Flashforge company. Product page shows "Information of the Seller: The seller of this item is FLASHFORGE 3D Printer Store"

I finally jumped on this 3D printing FlashForge bandwagon early this morning.

Like somebody mentioned previously, I did the error that the seller would not ship to my address. I tried the website by itself and through the app as well same error.

I ended up doing buy it now instead of heading to the court and it worked.

I'm a complete newbie to this. There is a post about 10 spools of PETG filaments for $60: https://slickdeals.net/f/19754151

I got that as well. If you are like me, you may want to check it out.

Bought the flashforge adventure 5M 2 months ago from AliExpress. Arrived quickly and perfect. Seriously a great printer, and a massive upgrade from the ender. Bought a two weeks early wish I had waited to get this one.

Bought one a couple months ago from Aliexpress. Recieved quickly and with no issues. Printed right out of the box after doing the basic setup.
