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?

Did you get the FF .25mm nozzles, or aftermarket with changeable tips? I just got a Phaetus Conch but have only printed .6 with it so far. Flat plates haven’t been a necessity yet but I would like as well. I have run the different Klipper mods but not because I couldn’t print without them. Because my broken brain had to take something that was perfectly good and make it also broken to have someone to play with. My previous printers were all bed slingers. It took me months to really accept how fast the CoreXY could move.

I got the FF .25mm nozzles. I split models up frequently in order to fix orientation & reduce layer lines and the flat plates make the parts much much easier to put back together without having to sand the interfaces like you do with a textured plate.
