Getting the same message as others that it can't ship to my address. Am I doing something wrong?
Logging in and out after saving my address in my profile and waiting 5 minutes in between worked for me

$233.54 shipped to MN. Do I need another multicolor printer after receiving the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 Combo last week, no. But I bought the AD5X anyway.

Code no longer works (for me at least). Says 2 available, at $238.03.
OP's code worked for me but SBUS23 should also work.

As a user of an ender V2 for years and then upgrading to the ad5X I will say that I wish I had gotten a better one. Don't get me wrong, the ad5X is a decent printer, but I keep having issues with it disconnecting and doing weird things if I don't have it auto level the end every single time I print. The hardware is pretty decent and it's millions of times better than the ender V2 but I want a better ecosystem and intuitive user experience for my kids and the ad5X just hasn't been as smooth as I would have hoped.
So, 4/5 stars being primarily hardware and value, but iffy user experience.

I have one of those. Bought last year on a similar deal. It's a pretty good printer for the price. The multi color part sucks, it uses too much filament, but it works if you're into that. 4 colors are mostly useful to do different color prints sequentially.

Good deal too if anyone's on the fence.

Bambu lab printers are expensive, but the user experience is far better and their app and ecosystem is excellent.

Just ordered. Any suggestions for good quality Filament to go with it? I see the 10-Pk 1KG KINGROON 1.75mm PETG 3D Printer Filament (Mix Color) posted for $60 on SD. Not sure if it's a good reasonable option with this printer
Kingroon will work just fine, ive run hundreds of rolls of it. Be cautious if the new Geetech deals, I received several batches of 10 that just constantly clog all my different machines. I used to love Geetech but quality control hit a wall

Spent the last 2 days trying to work a clog out of this thing, it's a nightmare. Not a newbie friendly experience at all. But for all I know it'd be the same with any printer.
