Flashforge AD5X Deep Dive Review and Guide. How Does The Cheapest Multi-Color Printer Measure Up?

In this video I will walk you through the set up of the Flashforge Adventurer AD5X Multi Color 3D printer from unboxing to your first print. This 3D printer requires very little in terms of assembly but I will show you how to get started with the AD5X and share with you what I was able to achieve in terms of print quality and multi-color prints. For the slicer, I used the forked version of Orca slicer being Orca-Flashforge. It is a highly capable slicer with more advanced features than FlashPrint 5 which you can also download from the Flashforge website. I hope to provide you with insight into the pros and cons of using the Flashforge AD5X.

To support my work, please consider visiting my website where you will find other upgrades for a large variety of other 3D printers such as the Bambu Lab A1, Ender 3 V3 SE KE, K1C, K2 Plus, and many more! Overall, I would recommend the AD5X for beginner and advanced users alike. Considering it is priced below the AD5M Pro and you get multi-color printing it is quite the value purchase. Despite not having an enclosure you should be fine in most cases printing with PLA materials. Still, this printer provides excellent value amongst the competition in this price range as the only other printer I can find at this price that does multi-color is the Bambu Lab A1 Mini... which is considerably smaller and uses inferior "bed slinger" mechanics. Just remember if you are new to 3D printing I still think you should have realistic expectations of the learning curve involved with the hobby. The machine works well out of the box but if you happen to run into issues you will likely get frustrated at first. Take a deep breath, stick with it and don't give up! It doesn't matter if you have a Creality, Bambu Labs, or any other popular high speed printer of this era, eventually you will need to do some troubleshooting.
