Thanks! Perfect timing! My Creality Ender V3 has been having nothing but problems recently so hopefully this one will work better. Looking forward to being able to do multi color prints. Seems like an amazing deal! Had to add a cheap filler item to reach the threshold for the coupon to work.

great printer and best price yet at $174 after coupon and $33 cash back (16% at site that shall not be named). mine's been going strong since the first big deal last year.
It was a little better price a month or so ago at $157 after CB but this is still a great deal

Another trhead mentioned folks not getting their CB, so maybe don't count on it unless a good amount of people have confirmed otherwise?
I've got a little hand's on work on a bambu labs P1S, I was able to print some fun things I found on makerworld pretty fast - hoping this could be a similar experience.
I got my CB when it was at 26% but I had to contact them because it didn't go through automatically

I do a ton of 3d printing and the ad5x has been reliable and excellent right out of the box. Perfect with stock settings and beautiful tpu, petg, and pla prints

I personally haven't been able to get get the CB to work right, especially when trying to use the coupons and such and the time I bought my ad5x I was in a rush to not miss the limited paypal discount so just skipped the CB. But even trying to buy bulk filament deals, I'm not able to get it to trigger right. I've tried using the specific CB app along with the ali app. Tried using the website versions of both. But none of it seems to capture the cookie right for some reason. Is there a secret method to make sure it works lol?

You can't beat the price for this awesome 3-D printer. Mine has almost 2000 hours on it and I haven't had a single issue.

Paid 120 for the 5m some time ago as my first gateway into 3 printing and already have hundreds of hours on it and regret not going for the ad5x right away for multi color.

I got this deal with the cashback a few weeks ago. Shipped super quick from USA and for less than the price of an AMS Lite for my Bambu A1 Mini, I got a whole second printer with multi filament printing and all that extra bed real estate. Truly a no briner.

As others have mentioned, it's not quite as "plug and play" as a Bambu. The hardware is, but the software - more specifically the models database - is a mess. For example, it's full of purported multicolor prints that turn out to be an stl file that someone randomly dropped on there (instead of a 3MF). It's completely non-curated and in no way Flashforge related - tons of thinly masked thingiverse links, etc. So if you don't have much experience and want a WYSIWYG model with this printer, I'd avoid the models in their database and head over to makerworld. From there, you can download a 3MF file, run it through forgebridge.app and import it into the Flashforge software for slicing/printing.

Got this for $205 with the last Ali sale. Came fast. I find these things fascinating - the fact you can get a piece of equipment that can heat plastic up to over 200C and lay it down to fractions of a millimeter precision for $200 makes me say "what a time to be alive" πŸ˜‚
That being said, this isn't a printer that is always going to "just work" for every print. Most aren't, but there are more expensive printers that are more bulletproof. You have to learn a lot along the way. AI is pretty great at helping. For me, I have enjoyed learning what I do wrong and how to fix it. That also includes hardware malfunctions. I had a filament chunk break off and get stuck, so I learned about how to take the extruder head apart and remove it.
Single tool printers also waste a LOT of filament for large multicolored prints. If that is of concern to you, you might look at more than doubling your budget and starting with a multi tool unit.
My AD5X has worked really quite well and I think it's well worth the $200 to get into this hobby and learn.
I came here, basically, to say all of this.

It's a great unit - FOR THE MONEY.

It wastes a LOT of filament, takes easily 30-50% longer to print than a single color unit, and fails far more than one as well. Anecdotally, mine "died" in it's first month, and I sent it back...though I think that was a fluke.

But - it's 1/3 the price of its nearest 4-head, truly waste-free competition. When it works, it works very well, creating beautiful prints, and tends to be a workhorse.

I'll likely hold out and save up for the Creator 5 next time...best of all worlds, though 3x the cost of this unit. Black Friday/Cyber Monday are coming right up.

I would not buy this brand. They track your printing and will block you if you print something they do not like or even report you to your government. https://x.com/esrtweet/status/198...2205675587

I was in the same boat and bought this when it went on sale last month. I'm on week two of using it now and I have no regrets. It super straight forward and has worked flawlessly. I'm tempted to get a second oneπŸ˜‚
