Looking to get my son a 3D printer and have settled between the AD5X or the 5M Pro.

I really like that the 5M Pro is enclosed and has the filter system. Main downside is one color at a time but from what I can tell you can print things in pieces and assemble after the fact. It looks like there are after market parts to bring multi-color later if we wanted to pursue that.

The AD5X has multi-color but no enclosure or filter system. It looks like you can print an enclosure but I haven’t found a solution for filtration.

I don’t know enough to properly weigh the benefits here. My inclination is that the enclosure and filter are more important and should get him the 5M Pro. Is he going to be missing out not having the multi-color? He’ll just be printing some toys and such

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated. Thanks!
