the flasforge ad5x is soooooo much better as a beginner printer, and just a few bucks more
Creality used to have better firmware support.
Are you saying that's no longer the case?
The AD5X looks like a much better printer, but if this hardware doesn't receive updates or have an open source following, buying it is just contributing toward the stagnation and disposable aspect many of these machines are facing.

All I can say is my ADX5 receives updates all the time, and has worked without fail through several hundred hours of printing (mostly PETG and silk). As a beginner printer, I couldn't be more happy with it, especially with multicolor capability. Surely Creality is a solid company, but so is Flashforge. IMO, neither are going anywhere any time soon.
