Aliexpress has fairly high cashback potential around.

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.

I have four of these and they are great, last one I got was running a 40 hour print within about 20 mins of opening the box. And it did it perfectly.

Wish this had a larger printing area. Otherwise seems solid.

I upgraded to this from an Ender 3 S1 pro, and wow is it so much faster and better.

I almost sprung for the P2S or X2D, but glad I saved the money - this is incredible for 200 bucks.

Mine works great when it works. Does seem to be vulnerable to heat creep. I've gotten way too good at taking the extruder apart.

Bought this a few weeks ago and its current printing the enclosure now. Working well once we figured out some of the noobie settings for the plate type on the machine as well as a slight increase of the bed temp.

Was easy enough to set up if you have a tinkering mindset and the patience to watch some videos to learn. I feel like this is perfect for us before we make a bigger investment into a higher end printer down the line.

Anyone know if there is a minimal enclosure like for the AD5M?

Another trhead mentioned folks not getting their CB, so maybe don't count on it unless a good amount of people have confirmed otherwise?
I've got a little hand's on work on a bambu labs P1S, I was able to print some fun things I found on makerworld pretty fast - hoping this could be a similar experience.
