I now have a flashforge Finder Lite I normally use Flashprint 5.x (from Flashforge) but Cura Utilmaker claims to work with it if I install the Flashforg option (Installed but nottested)
Also have a Creality Ender 3 Using both Creality Print and Cura Utilmaker I'm told several other sliers can .gcode it Both are printing as I type (Halloween stuff and other fun stuff).
They are a lot of fun
One thing you need to pay attention to however is the size.. Many Style files (.STL) I download from Thing-i-Verse or Printables (Both dot com) are too big for the Finder... So far most of 'em fit on the large but slower Ender.
For travel I think the Finder series might work better. They are a "Box" some are fully enclosed.. The Ender is an open frame job.. More likely to get damaged I suspect in transit if moving about once assembled.
That said I've only had to replace 3 parts on my finder so far (And it does not move about) (All my fault I might add).
