Months of testing: easy setup, excellent print quality, speeds to 600 mm/s, Ethernet and a quick-change nozzle. Dislikes the dated resistive touchscreen, the slightly small 220x220x200 mm volume and the camera and LED being extras. Calls it an excellent first multi-material printer.
“The Flashforge AD5X is an excellent first multi-material printer, or even a first 3D printer, period.”
Reviewed with the enclosure kit: excellent print quality and good color swaps on a basic open-frame CoreXY, but the Orca-based slicer crashes often, drops filament colors between tabs and does not report purge waste. Lighting, camera and enclosure are extras. Kept off their best-printers list.
“The Flashforge AD5X is a good 3D printer with a bad slicer experience.”

Color-change, contamination, large multicolor and benchmark tests. Finds multi-filament printing reliable and the value hard to beat under 400 dollars; drawbacks are the screen UI and the skinned Orca slicer. Adds it to his recommendation list. Sponsored by Flashforge (disclosed).

Hands-on with the 399 dollar AD5X: nice multicolor with little tweaking, but no auxiliary part fan so overhangs need slowing, purge settings cannot be adjusted (halving the multiplier did not change purge weight) and slicer integration needs workarounds. Sponsored by PCBWay (disclosed).

Flashforge is mixed: the Adventurer 5M runs Klipper with published source and works in a LAN mode with open slicers, but the stock system is closed to modification and its app relies on the cloud.
ファームウェアとカスタムファームウェア ●●●●●
The Adventurer 5M series runs Klipper, and Flashforge published its Klipper source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in January 2024. The stock system is not built to be modified: the community 'Klipper Mod', which adds Moonraker, Mainsail and Fluidd, is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty.
[1][2]
ローカル制御と連携 ●●●●●
A LAN mode lets Orca-Flashforge send jobs on the local network, and USB printing works offline. The Flash Maker app needs internet and a Flashforge account and does not connect in LAN mode. Flashforge documents no local API for other software. Moonraker with Mainsail or Fluidd comes only with the community Klipper Mod, which is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty.
[3][4][2]
サードパーティー製フィラメント、スライサー、部品 ●●●●●
Third-party filament works; Orca-Flashforge is an open-source OrcaSlicer fork and OrcaSlicer itself supports Flashforge printers. Nozzles are sold as complete printer-specific assemblies.
[5][6][7]
修理と交換部品 ●●●●●
Flashforge sells nozzle, extruder, filament-feeding and touchscreen assemblies for the Adventurer 5M, and its wiki has replacement guides, for example the AD5X extruder board.

コミュニティとドキュメント ●●●●●
A wiki with manuals, FAQs and maintenance guides, and slicer and Klipper sources on GitHub; much of the advanced use comes from the community mod.
