Topic: Flashforge Dreamer - stilla valid option?

Hi there,

I am relatively new to 3D printing, I have played about a bit on an Ultimaker S5, and I am looking for a suitable printer for home. The Ultimaker is great printer but out of my own price range. After reading quite a lot of articles and getting very confused about the best option, I think that the Flashforge Dreamer has about the right level of features especially dual extruders, for the right price. But it seems to be at least 6 years old, and I was wandering if this is still a decent option for learning about 3D printing on, or if there are better options (I looked at the CEL Robox Dual, but quite small printing area and much more expensive)? I don't have a lot of time, so would prefer something that is reliable and easy to use, so can spent more time designing and printing rather than tinkering and maintaing the printer.

I would be really grateful for your expert opinions.

Unless you just have to have dual extruders take a look at what Anycubic has to offer. I have one of their 4MAX and it has been one of the best machines I have owned. The Creality Enders are supposed to be good as well.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
Anycubic 4MAX best $225 ever invested.
Voxelabs Proxima SLA. 6 inch 2k Mono LCD.
Anycubic Predator, massive Delta machine. 450 x 370 print envelope.
