Community Reviews

The AD5X is a fast, compact multi color printer that feels easy to use and, once dialed in, can be very reliable for PLA and PETG. It stands out for desk friendly size, out of the box printing, and the convenience of keeping multiple spools loaded or using near empty spools without constant swaps. The main tradeoffs are extra setup for enclosure, lights, and camera, plus noticeable filament waste and slower color changes on multi color jobs. It suits buyers who want affordable color printing and do not mind some DIY effort.

This or wait for a Bambu P2S (when available ) for first time user? I realize the Bambu is almost twice as much, but, I honestly want something that'll work well and not have a lot of growing pains

This is a pretty great price for a multi-color printer. Doubt it'll get much lower.

I cannot get this to ship to my zip code in Central Florida no matter what I try. I have tried incognito in both mobile and desktop browser. I downloaded their creepy app. And i have been trying for weeks to grab one of the flashforge deals. It's just that brand too on the site. Very odd.

Any friends or relatives in nearby areas? Not sure why it won't ship to your zip code.

generally bambu printers are the easiest path into 3d printing - for those seeking a plug-and-play experience(rookies and those more interested in designing things and not messing with the machine itself); and the p2s will have multiple types of failure detection. i know folks who swear by flashforge, but if instant success is more important than sticker price i'd wait for the p2s

Just grab a P1S on sale right now. It's a lower up front cost of the P2S and is still a quality machine that just works. Bambu will likely be easier for just getting into the hobby.

Thanks. I've had an Anet A8 for 8 years which sat mostly idle until a couple of years ago when I got back into messing with it. It took a lot of work and tuning and before the summer it starting having a bunch of issues with the extrusion. I was going to order some replacement parts to try and fix but decided to make the jump because I was a bit tired of dealing with it, I was honestly just not going to do much anymore.

My son however has been begging for me to fix it or to get his own for the holidays. I really didn't want to spend very much and was just about to pull the trigger on the Adventurer 5M for about $100 less. However this just popped up and I decided for the price to just splurge for the multi color/filament options.

Hopefully I made a good choice, as I usually don't make impulse buys like this, but I have a decent understanding of the hobby after struggling with the A8 for so long. My guess is we will use this as stock and probably print the enclosure kit and likely migrate over to Klipper after a bit.

I have over $150 worth of filament that was just going to go to waste if I didn't use it, so I consider this an investment to use that. If I end up not being happy, I'm hoping I can recoup my cost selling this locally for a fairly decent ROI.

Just hope everything arrives working and/or Flashforge support is good to deal with.

Been using this for two weeks since the last deal. It's incredible. Came from an Ender 3 V2. Night and day difference. Absolutely loving it!

I had similar issue on another flash forge via aliexpress and I was ultimately able to get it by using the "buy it now" feature instead of adding it to my cart. Regretting a little getting the adventurer single color for $170 instead of this one.
