Thanks for the explanation though.
Take a read of this great thread by American3Dprinting... good in depth first hand take down of the 5th Gen, basically.. long story short, anything you do that you would want to do in any other printer basically voids the warranty.

So far the biggest drawback for me is the time... and too many automated features. The flashforge might be simplistic but it heats up in like 2 mins and because the levelling is manual.. I DECIDE when I level, not the dang machine.
5th gen makes you go through hoops before each print.
