Flashforge AD5X
Mid-range; the enclosure kit costs more
A CoreXY four-color machine that also runs TPU in color, which nothing else this cheap does, and it arrives nearly built and prints the same hour.
Purge waste is heavy, the enclosure is a kit sold separately, and there is no filtration at all, so the materials list stops at filled PLA and PETG in practice. Flashforge publishes no noise figure and reviewers call it loud at 600 mm/s in a quiet room. The camera costs extra.
Best at: Four colors including flexible filament, for the least money.
Worst at: Purge waste, and an enclosure that is not in the box.
