Now, I haven't printed anything on my AD5x as a stock printer in a while, but according to at least one facebook post https://www.facebook.co
Now, switching over to Zmod's Bambufy Wipe Tower Type 1, there would be 690 filament changes. This is a huge difference compared to stock AD5x (tested both on Orca and Flash Studio). Presuming that Bambufy purges the same filament weight, that would be 171.81g total, or 44.077g saved just using Zmod. I went and measured out 10g of purge out of my poop basket, and then counted how many pieces that was; I ended up with 47 purged bits, so that was an average of 0.213g per purge, using the Bambufy Wipe Tower Type 1. 0.213g x 690 = 146.809g, or 69.078g saved over stock. If you go with Wipe Tower Type 2 (aka nopoop), I believe the AD5x will not purge at all, relying on the prime tower instead(?). I could test this but have not yet as of this post, but if it does what it says it does, then it would produce 0 purges similar to the Creator 5 and pro.
Almost 70g of saved filament is no joke for just firmware flash, and 215g of filament saved on purges is an even bigger save if you don't have to. But you also have to keep in mind the price of both the AD5x and the Creator 5. Last I checked, the AD5x was going for about $210 on Ali whereas this one is $507. Over double the price. If you pick up 10kg Kingroon filament on sale, that's what, about $7/kg, or $0.007/g. $0.007/g x 215g = $1.51. I'd have to print that Spiderman almost 200 times once per plate to make up the cost of the Creator 5. I wouldn't specifically get a Creator 5 for those kinds of savings, but that's just my opinion (which is why I picked up the Pro).
Hope this helps.
Community Reviews
Flashforge Creator 5 is a four-head tool changer built for fast multicolor printing with less purge waste than single-nozzle systems. The larger 256 millimeter bed, heated chamber support, and ability to run different filaments in one print make it appealing for ABS and other demanding materials. Setup is straightforward, print quality is praised, and the machine can feel much faster on multicolor jobs than an AD5X. The main tradeoffs are a shakier motion profile, some manual filament handling, and current firmware that can make it feel slow. It is a strong fit if you want low-waste multicolor printing and can live with a few workflow quirks.
Common Questions (5)
The Creator 5 has 4 separate tool heads, so multicolor prints can finish much faster because tool changes take only a few seconds. The AD5X uses filament swaps that take over a minute, while the Creator 5 also offers redundancy if one head needs repair.
The deal has been reported as low as about $489+ after applying codes such as USDEALS80, IFPXI3XN, or other listed promo codes. One checkout example showed a printer subtotal of $556.15 with a multi-store coupon taking $78.87 off, bringing the total under $500 before additional charges.
It is a multi-tool printer, so it uses tool changes and a prime tower rather than the filament "poop" common on single-nozzle multicolor systems. That makes multicolor prints faster and reduces purge waste, though a prime tower is still needed for priming.
Yes, it can print ABS and other demanding materials, and the heated enclosure is a major reason to choose it over the AD5X. It is also being used for PA and ASA, where the enclosure matters more than the lower-waste multicolor workflow.
Make sure the item can actually be added to cart and that a shipping address is entered first. If the code still won't apply, deleting and re-adding the ship-to address or using the AliExpress app can help; some buyers also had success by adding filler items to reach the coupon threshold.

A text to customer support and the response was the shipper hasn't done a logistics update. And three days later still no update or printer. I'm going to buy a product from a different manufacturer and if this thing ever shows up, I'm just gonna return it.

The sale price just dropped, so some codes might not work.
Try JJX80D, JJX55D, USDEALS55, HDUS50, JJX40D, USDEALS40, or HDUS35 IOT get the final price down to ~$489+.
Tried several things, none of the promo codes would work. Including the ones posted by Pirin a couple messages back
Took me a bit to figure out I couldn't add it to my cart because I had no shipping address entered.
