The Bambu blows the Flashforge out of the water.
We got my son the FF years ago when he was curious about getting started. It was perfectly fine for getting started, but it was slow and occasionally glitchy. Last year we upgraded to the Bambu when it was on a big sale (they all do big sales periodically), and it's amazing. My sons designs and produces countless things with it. And it's so quic we often just use it for random things like a guitar stand, desk cable organizers, jigs for other non 3D printer projects, etc...
