Counter suggestion, FlashForge is pretty reliable when it comes to things that just work out of the box. I have an AD5X and it put out the first print before I had all the packagintlg picked up. There are a few quality of life changes I’ve had to make, it’s built to be plug and play and because of that some of the more esoteric things have to be jailbroken. All the same, it does 4 color and the enclosure kit is self printed, it’s been incredibly reliable, and I’ve had less failed prints than I have successes with some models. I can’t do high detailed minis with it but I also don’t need to babysit it, half the time I’m printing from a different room and don’t even check on it.
All in all, it’s a fantastic gateway to the hobby and when you get in deep enough to run into it’s limitations, it’s still a reliable workhorse to run on the side of something more finely tuned.
