Got this for $205 with the last Ali sale. Came fast. I find these things fascinating - the fact you can get a piece of equipment that can heat plastic up to over 200C and lay it down to fractions of a millimeter precision for $200 makes me say "what a time to be alive" 😂 That being said, this isn't a printer that is always going to "just work" for every print. Most aren't, but there are more expensive printers that are more bulletproof. You have to learn a lot along the way. AI is pretty great at helping. For me, I have enjoyed learning what I do wrong and how to fix it. That also includes hardware malfunctions. I had a filament chunk break off and get stuck, so I learned about how to take the extruder head apart and remove it. Single tool printers also waste a LOT of filament for large multicolored prints. If that is of concern to you, you might look at more than doubling your budget and starting with a multi tool unit. My AD5X has worked really quite well and I think it's well worth the $200 to get into this hobby and learn.
What are the higher end models that you might suggest for somebody new who doesn't want to tinker as much with the issues you mentioned?

I wouldn't claim to be an expert, but from what I read the Snapmaker U1 is a good bet. Flashforge Creator 5 is cheaper, and Bambu H2C is best of the 3 but way spendy. These are all just in an entirely different price range. And all of these will require you to learn the hobby and intricacies, but might be more forgiving.

Thanks for the suggestions. Much appreciated.

40 hour? What did you build a house?!
Multicolor prints for this type of multicolor printer takes a long time. My first print with it was a Derpy tiger that took 24 hours. I rarely print multicolor stuff that uses all four spools. It is nice even if you don't plan on multicolor printing as you can load up the same color and type spools and when one is depleted, it will switch to the next one. A single spool printer will just pause and keep the bed warm until you get back.

Curious about 3D printing. Is it safe to use this printer in basements with no real ventilation? Any fire risks to be worried about?

Is this a official Flashforge reseller so it will be under warranty?

Don't believe there would be any special fire risks and most filaments would probably be fine without ventilation but some l think like ABS would probably need an added filter or good ventilation.

This gets close to, sometimes less than, $200 pretty often, like once a month lately, especially with cashback and various PayPal payment promos and the coupon codes. Just set up a deal alert for ad5x and you'll see these often.

Honestly, I'm hiring they eventually offer the creator 5 for similar deep discounts in the near future. Probably a long ways from that happening but we can hope lol
