AD5X Multi-Color 3D Printer, CoreXY 600mm/s High-Speed, 1-Click Auto Leveling, 300°C Direct Drive Extruder, 220x220x220mm Build Volume, Ideal for Precision and Efficiency

This is a great intro into FDM printing. The vibration calibration is very cool. Leveling is a breeze, as well as few and far between. It's FAST. It's so, so fast at this price. Be aware that the images make it look like it's enclosed. That is a frame. If you want an enclosure, you have to print a long list of parts and buy an inexpensive kit that has the side and top panels, as well as the front. The good news is that that's a great way to get to learn your printer. I enjoyed it. And there are alternative pieces and case mounted spool holder models online.

I picked up the AD5X as my second printer after using an FLSun Super Racer, and the overall quality of life jump was noticeable right away. Unboxing and assembly were simple, and I had it printing in under thirty minutes. Setup and Features The automatic bed leveling is one of the best parts of this machine. I run it before every print since it takes only a minute and keeps everything consistent. The included PEI plate has been excellent. I clean it with alcohol and have had strong adhesion without needing glue. Filament and Printing Filament changes have been smooth. I mainly use SunLu PLA Plus and have had no clogs or grinding. Default profiles in Orca Slicer have given me great results, from fast small prints to large models that fill most of the plate. The touch screen UI works fine, although I mostly watch the live data through Orca. Multi Color Use and Noise Noise levels do rise during multi color printing because of the constant swapping and purging, but an enclosure helps a lot. Purge waste is something to expect, although it can be saved and reused in silicone molds for small parts. Build Area and Results The build volume is large enough for masks and modest helmet pieces when angled correctly. Bed adhesion has been reliable as long as the surrounding temperature stays stable. Reliability I am close to one hundred hours of printing on this machine. Any issues I have had were user error. The included tools are the standard set you would expect, nothing fancy but perfectly usable. Who This Is Good For This is a great printer for anyone starting out, or for someone ready to step into multi color prints without spending a lot. It has been reliable, easy to use, and solid for both small and large projects. Update: it takes some work with a Slicer but it is possible to get a full size helmet out of the printer. Masks are typically no issue but I had to split a full size into about 6 parts. It was a fun learning experience but it shows how versatile it can be with built plate limitations to work around.

Fantastic little machine starter/beginner takes a few prints to get used to the temps, i clean and alcohol the heat pad supplied supplied grease to screws and slides. only issue sofar: I received Flashforge AD5M damaged from shipping and decided to keep. Amazon reimburse me for the damages. I tried to ask FF cs for a new support angle bar but got directed back to amazon. It works flawlessly though... i manually unbent the bar and calibrated itself.. Now i want to get a multicolor printer, its fun, we're having a blast with it!

Great printer, just not for beginner's. The printer is simple but software is lacking things to print and forced to do heavy searching for 3D models. Not a fan of the touchscreen as it’s more of pecking at an icon. The printer does a great job of printing but you’ll have to learn a lot quickly.

Very easy to setup and to print. The app only lets you monitor printing. It’s not like the Bamboo Labs where you can print from the app. But for the price to print in multiple colors you can’t beat it. The side cart for the Bamboo to do multi is over 400 you can buy two of these for the total cost. I’m going to add a second one of these. I know the app will grow and get better. But you can print one or multiple times at once.

First printer, did research wanted multi color and decent sized bed. Have ran for days with multiple prints little to no issues. Was easy to set up straight from box. Make sure to purchase filament as well. Use the slicing software provided by flashforge. Can add an enclosure and camera from flashforge as well. No issues from the machine any failed prints have been slicing issues and easy to fix. Some movements are loud but still typically quieter then the furnace and air purifier. I do not like how inclusive certain brands are so when researching good beginner multi color machines, this is what I landed on.

Very good for price, up and running very quick. Print quality is very good and customizable. Been running 2 months and still does a great job with various PLA manufacturers. Have only used PLA so far.
