I have this
Great printer, does an awesome job out of the box. I printed the enclosure and a few mods which definitely make it look like it's performing even better.

I wasn't able to get multiple filaments working in Orca, so I caved and got the flash forge fork of it which works great and is basically identical to Orca other than obviously having flash forge spy on me. Good cheap printer that I highly recommend if you're getting into printing or are a pro and want a spare draft printer or something.

That's odd. I had no problem setting it up with orca slicer. I actually don't think I ever used flash forge's orca fork.

I did immediately install zmod when I first got mine. So, maybe unlocks something?

Flashforge will be the first and happiest to implement 2a spying software and automatic authority reporting on any cylinder you print. Google it.

I had this, and went back to the 5M.

While it's the best there is at what it does, it's still very slow, and wastes a TON of filament.

If you want nice prints, and a machine that simply works, but have a lot of time and don't care about filament costs and waste, get this one. It's a great machine.

Me? I'm waiting for Black Friday weekend, for the Creator 5 to go on sale. Costs 2-3x this, but worth the step up, IMO.

CB is higher too at the moment than last time. I bought this at 209-2011ish with 16% CB. It's my first 3D printer and I started printing within an hour of opening the box. Super easy to get setup and started.

Says it can't ship to NY. Pretty much every time this deal comes up, it says that. Shame.

Short answer, yes, 4 sample filaments that basically can't amount to anything other than a test print.

Ahhh damn, didn't think I'd see this deal again! Someone help me out, I'm torn between ordering this ad5x or pre-ordering the Creality SPARKX i8. Which would you get if you can do it all over again? I'm just looking to print random small items and car accessories.
