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

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.

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.

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! Not too loud. Prints pretty fast. However, multi-color printing takes a long time, since it has to change colors and clean the nozzle between colors. The results have been pretty good though. It was pretty easy to set up as well. We have been using it for about a month now.

My best investment ever.. This is my very first multi color 3d printer and im glad to say that i have hit a jackpot with this high performing machine. i love how its all metal body gives it such a durable look. the LCD screen is very intuitive and easy to use and it connects easily with your local wifi. the print quality on the machine is one of the best especially considering its price range. The printing noise is a bit loud especially when it clunks at the time of changing the filament but it get easy to get use to it soon enough. the PEI plate has best adhesion even without having to use glue (one stick provided with the package). This is a highly recommended machine for any one new to this domain and my advise will be to invest in the multi color option right away.

Easy to setup 10mins or less. Preassembled, only thing you need to install is the Filament Holder/Bracket on the rear of the printer and take out the Shipping Bracket (4 Screws) for the Screen and slide it in the frame on the top/right of the Printer. Great Auto leveling & Filament change. Touch Screen Easy to use. Software preinstalled and features auto-update if connected to Wifi. No running back and fourth to your PC with USB-Stick or SD Card to put Prints into Printer, features to sent to Printer from FlashPrint or Orca-Flashprint, it does have USB port to do so. Best Value for you money with no regrets. Print Quality is Great. I ONLY RECOMMENT ORCA FlashPrint software. I had nothing but problems with FlashPrint Software. Con- FlashPrint Software is buggy / STL files Most of the time are invisible until you Slice & Preview. - FlashPrint Software on most of my prints have problems with Tree Supports - FlashPrint Software G-code isn't that great, sometimes crash into Supports and kick Print off the table. - FlashPrint Software doesn't properly auto align multiple STL Files Properly

Absolutely in love with this 3D printer and plan to buy a second one soon. Set up was easy and user friendly. Love the screen showing my project in color and so happy with this. This was the first 3D printer I have ever used and my first project that was more complex turned out fantastic. I prefer the Flashforge filament but I have used other filaments with no issues. Printer functionality is amazing and I love the way it levels the bed and the heat transfer works amazing. Can’t praise it more. High quality prints.
