Quote from asspizza [IMG]https://slickdeals.net/images/misc/backlink.gif[/IMG] :
the adx isnt an apple to apples comparison to this one. This one is better
Based on what? Maybe I looked at the wrong comparison but the specs seemed almost identical outside of the enclosure
yea the enclosure is what makes it better. you'll eventually want to mod the ad5x to have an enclosure. why not buy it with one. also, the 5Mpro came after the ad5x, so i'm sure there are minor changes that make it slightly better. I dont know all of the exact details
This vs ADX is like asking which is better, a pickup or a van. Both are about equal when it comes to single color prints that don't need an enclosure. The 5M Pro is the winner if you want to print engineering grade materials or materials that need higher chamber temperatures etc.
The ADX is better if you want multi-color printing. They are the same base unit with orthogonal extended capabilities.
Consider this. If you have the printer is say a home office or some other space that share the air with the rest of the house you probably aren't going to be printing any of the materials that would benefit from using the Pro. If you think you would take advantage of color for in print labels etc then the ADX is better. If you really are only interested in single color, PLA printing, get the 5M and save the money.
