Best Budget / Enthusiast 4 Color Printer
Out of the box the printer is likely the fastest setup anyone can ever expect. You can be printing in about an hour or less. The interface is decent, the implementation is excellent. No exotic multicolor system is required and you can just connect 4 spools directly to the printer itself. It can be fully enclosed to print more exotic materials. You print most of the walls and you buy the doors and "glass" areas from them with tools and screws. About 50 bucks for a fully enclosed kit that will do all your exotics. I have seen people print Wood and Iron on this thing with ease. The color switching is intuitive and simple. Colors on the printer must match the Slicer, but other than that pretty straight forward. Advanced users that know what they are doing can unlock ervything to their hearts content including nearly eliminating filament poop in prints (among dozens of other features). Once you have it dialed in, it's better than the Bambu Labs A1 and the Anycubic Kobra 3. A little less polished on the communication than teh Anycubic Kobra 3 and a lot less polished than the Bambu A1, however, you're getting a 4 color system that can print more exotics than the Bambu Labs P1S and all of it is yours for around 339 bucks. I am very impressed with the speed and quality of the printer. I printed off a minature that I forgot to enable supports for and it printed the Driud and his complex staff flawlessly. Then I printed a multi color door sign for my bathroom and it came out flawlessly and smooth. I highly recommend this printer to begineers and enthusiasts alike. Each of those camps of people will find value in this device. The mini below was printed with zero supports. Punched it out in about 30min on quality The sign took about 4 hours and filled almost the entire bed. My only gripe is the bed is 220x220x220mm. If they made another printer like this one with a 300mm bed, iyt would be a day one purchase with the features of this printer.

This is a great printer and no it is not just for beginners
This is an interesting printer. I purchased it because I wanted to print abrasives and I wanted a quick change hot end that is not available on my other 3d printer, a Qidi X-Plus-3. First things first, the setup was not great. The printer has long lags between actions and did not always complete them w/o my having to press the screen. This was very odd-the behavior was that it would complete bed leveling, input shaping and preheating, would show complete but not progress to the next step in the initial setup. And when I tried to have the machine perform the calibration test print it never did. I tried four times and eventually gave up. No idea why it refused to complete the test print. I did just skip it and printed the pointer as a calibration test. And this is where things improved. It was perfect! I printed the PLA object with no bed adhesive and it came out flawlessly!. Not only that I noticed that the presets in the FlashPrint5 software were different for temperature than that what the FlashForge PLA recommended. The presets are 225C for the extruder and 50C for the bed. If you look at the FF PLA it is 220C extruder and 60C bed. This was quite interesting but it worked perfectly. I then printed the PLA with the enclosure completely closed-a seeming no no for PLA. But guess what, another excellent print-not perfect but very close. So close I would be fine with it. But then I moved on to ABS-GF. Not only that but from another brand (Qidi). The defaults were for FF ABS (250C extruder, 105C bed). This required loading the ABS-GF (easy-peasy) and changing the hotend (less that 15 seconds not including getting the .6 nozzle out of the foil bag), doing a purge (the .6mm nozzle was tested with PLA-hmmmm....) and then slice and print. Perfect print with no adhesive used and an unheated enclosure/chamber in my cool basement. Wow! The FP5 slicer is appears to be a Prusa fork and it works well and has some cool features like being able to save project by default as .stl and not 3mf (the Qidi default) and as .fpp . Very useful. Additionally, the printer is light in weight, I was able to take it to the basement and lift it onto the worktable by myself easily. It was easy to get the packing material out (I've seen YouTube'ers struggle with this, no idea why) and the toolkit includes a set of snips for things like supports or opening foil bags. Very helpful. Also interesting the FP5 slicer printed files that my Qidi slicer requires supports for w/o supports and the prints were, as stated perfect! That is very interesting and cool!. And now onto the second reason I bought this-the hepa/activated carbon filter system. I will be printing abrasives and print in my house, not the garage. I needed to be able to ensure that I can limit the VOC's released. I have a box filter and wanted more protection. This printer has it. There are two filters. And the ability to control them (auto-selecting, based on the type of filament, from w/in FP5) and it worked great! So what are some cons-small print bed, strange behaving setup, not filament dry box included. I won't mention lack of heated chamber because it did not make a difference-there was zero curling or warping on the ABS part-none! Not a bit!. And w/o adhesive! This is going to make me do more tuning of the Qidi as a comparison. and I will be switching out the Qidi hot end (included with printer) and run abrasives on it for comparison. But, is this a "kiddie/noob" printer? Nope. This is definitely rightly aligned as prosumer. The filter system is better than that on BambuLabs until you get to their commercial unit. And better than Qidi. Only the Snapmaker's have an easier hotend change out from what I can see. If you have Amazon Prime like me, I got an extra $100 off when I bought it! An absolute bargain!. Oh and one other thing-the inside of the chamber does not have any attached parts that things can fall into (looking at you Qidi) so it is easy to keep clean and clear of debris. Here's the thing-Flashforge, if you make this exact same 3d printer with a minimum 300mmx300mm300mm minimum print volume. And I mean literally change nothing else about this printer, I will be buying it even though for production purposes I want to get an IDEX 3d printer. This is just that good overall. Highly recommended.

Great machine at a great price
Bought an AD5X a couple of weeks ago to replace an aging bedslinger, to use for model railroading. So impressed with it that I bought a 2nd one last week to add to our collection. The 4 color printing is nice but the killer use for me is the automatic spool switching when using the same color filament. As of this review, we have about 12kg of filament run through both machines and not having to worry about running out of filament mid print is a game changer. Set up was simple and right out of the box it's producing quality prints. Adding the app to a phone allows both printers to show in the Flashforge slicer and also allows monitoring of printing progress. You can set it up to alert you when prints are completed. WiFi has been solid on both machines and again set up was straight forward and easy to do. PLA and Silk PLA have both run beautifully and covers 90% of the filaments we use. The machine itself will run more filaments and I have no doubts it will run those just as well as PLA. Bed adhesion has been very good except for very thin prints where the supplied glue has been used and works great. Tools supplied in the box were minimal but enough to get going, it would have been nice to include a plastic bed scraper but that is all that is really missing. The fork of Orca slicer that Flashforge supplies works well and if you're not into tweaking and playing with settings works right out of the box. Packaging was high quality and protected the machines during delivery. All in a great machine for the price ($359 when purchased) and as our older bed slingers die I'll be adding another couple of these to our printer collection. There is an enclosure kit available that comes with all of the acrylic and hardware where you print the supports yourself. At some point we will add at least one enclosure for printing some of the harder filaments. A camera is also available if you wish to monitor prints live.

My first 3D printer and I'm very happy with it. For less than $500 it's hard to wrong with this printer. Yes, it's an older model but does everything I need it to do. The picture of my first serious project with it doesn't do it justice as I made a design mistake. The face was printed face down against the raft so the back side is smooth but the front is a little rough. Good: - Very little setup: worked right out of the box though I did need to run through a calibration for some larger prints. - Like that it is fully enclosed - Flashforge's slicer is very easy to use. - Great beginner's machine - Works with all the Flashforge nozzles Not so Good: - Build volume (150x150x150) is a little limiting - Prints over 4" have required a raft which is a little wasteful. I had a couple failures (even using a glue stick for better bed adhesion.) I probably just need to tweak some settings but haven't had the patience to go through the process yet. - I'm mainly using 1KG filament spools so I had to create an external mount to hold them. - Only comes with the one nozzle - Filament feeder can be pretty noisy (clicking). I've seen some ways to fix this but haven't had a chance to try them out. - Being limited to Flashforge nozzles

Prima verpackt und schnell einsatzfähig ist Flashforge 3 . Die Enrichtung geht schnell und die Steuerung intuitiv. STL Dateien sind schnell ausgewählt und zum Druck übergeben. Für PLA universell geeignet, ABS muss ich nich ausprobieren. Dank der guten Kalibriemöglichkeit von Plattform und Heizfunktion sowie Extruder gelingen auch komplexere Teile. Der Bauraum ist geschlossen und sichert eine geringe Geräuschentwicklung. Insgesamt sehr empehlenswert!

I have only owned this 3D printer 9 hours and I’m already very impressed by the speed and quality of prints. The look and feel of the whole unit is sturdy, modern and to a high quality finish. The built in touch screen and PC software are easy to use, with no issues so far. My only complaint is the power cable had a 2 pin fitting instead of a UK 3 pin but thankfully I had an adapter to hand! Great buy for beginners looking for a high quality print!

🔬test de cette imprimante 3D Flashforge Je suis agréablement surpris par cette imprimante 3D. Elle est très simple d'utilisation, une fois déballé, on contrôle rapidement la bonne hauteur de la buse et du plateau. On paramètre le wifi. On installe le logiciel livré avec "flashprint" sur le Pc ou mac, pour pouvoir transférer votre objet 3D à envoyer à l'imprimante et vous voilà déjà en train de lancer votre première impression 3D. J'ai testé en premier d'imprimer le cube de calibration, il est sorti avec une très bonne qualité. J'ai ensuite essayé le "benchy" (bateau rose) et la tour pour vérifier que l'imprimante est bien calibré. Le résultat et plutôt intéressant , sans avoir à faire de réglages. Elle a donc cette avantage de ne pas avoir a faire des tas de réglages, ou maintenance pour pouvoir l'utiliser, c'est un peu comme une plug and play. A noté elle est livré avec bobine de filament compatible en PLA, vous pourrez ensuite choisir d'autres couleurs ou matières. Ici vous n'aurez pas à sortir les tournevis ou autres, la buse et un bloc complet qui ce change en quelques minutes. Je la trouve parfaitement adapté pour des petits projets, pour des impressions rapide, le format du plateau reste tout fois limité. J'apprécie la sécurité de cette imprimante, qui est dans une box fermé. De plus ça facilitera l'utilisation des filaments en PETG, ABS qui sont pas toujours simple à utiliser si on ne le fait pas dans une endroit sans courant d'air. 💰 Est-il selon moi un bon rapport qualité prix ? 👌OUI c'est bien pour débuter et apprendre les basique de l'impression 3D. 🌟Si vous avez aimé mon test, mon commentaire, un petit clic sur "commentaire utile" (c’est encourageant) 🌟 Merci😽
