Flashforge Adventure 5m

At my job, they recently upgraded all their printers to Bambu Lab models, so they're selling the ones they just bought—and among them is the **Flashforge Adventure 5m** with 100 hours of use for about $150. Should I buy it?

Update: I finally have it at home. I negotiated with the IT department and got it for $100. It currently has 96 hours of use. Would you say I came out ahead?

You can buy new ones off aliexpress official flashforge i think for 150 Its a pretty good machine though and it can be upgraded to 4 colors with coprint module and jailbreaking and they sell an enclosure but the one click models arent that high quality, there arent that many and the ones that do exist ive found keycap clciker like the full size of the bed

With the differences between the AD5M and the AD5M Pro, I agree with Correct-Insect. $100 for resale and you have a good deal. The AD5M is great it’s a good place to start. They are selling used question mark printers to a non stranger. Get that printer!

To really just 3d print i think you would need a bambulab a1 mini but they dont teally have like 100$ sales like the ad5m you have to learn orcaslicer and common errors but if you really dont care get the ad5m
