ngl for Gridfinity and lego storage prints you’ll want something super reliable and consistent, since you’ll be doing a ton of repetitive runs. the Prusa mk4s is probably your safest bet under 1.5k. it’s solid out of the box, works fine with macos (via Prusaslicer) and the support/community is massi

It is the same printer. I would use the Orca Flashforge slicer to start. People will suggest the regular Orca slicer but for new to 3D printing, it is harder to use. The Orca Flashforge is set up for the printer and is super easy to connect and get started and has a lot of options for customization.

I didn’t even need supports for the majority of it, it printed quickly. I had one misprint from not using the support but I was able to salvage and use the pie

I can't be certain, but I'm fairly sure its this one: https://www.printables.com/model/1193462-flashforge-adventurer-5m-ad5m-improved-side-mount If you're wanting to print an enclosure, I'd highly recommend this one over the official Flashforge. It uses the same enclosure kit they sell, but only use
