Flashforge enters the Multicolor 3D Printing race with the Adventurer 5X, a solid entry into the next generation of 3D printing that is fast, capable, easy to use, and with a lot fewer security concerns. The Adventurer 5x has quickly become my workhorse machine if only because it’s as easy to use as any 3D printer and handles filament switching for me.
Two things I forgot to mention when recoding the video. First of all, I noticed their usual quick swap nozzle is gone, which I was a bit upset by, until they showed me they have a new type of quick swap nozzle that is still easy to change without needing extra tools. So that’s awesome. And secondly, the camera needs to be purchased and installed separately. But if they ever come up with an AD5XPro that has the enclosure and camera built in, I will 100% sell the heck out of that thing for them. Heck, I’d be willing to change at least 2 of my Bambu printers for it permanently.
I really do love Flashforge. I wish they were doing better. Heck, I wish they’ve been doing better for years. I would love nothing more for them to offer me a full ride sponsorship to build a new space and quit my day job (or at least go part time). That would be the dream. But until that day I guess I’ve got to keep running Fundraising drives. Speaking of which, I’m working on my next one right now. There will be a video about it, but I’ve narrowed down the results of the poll to 2 possibilites. PrintAQuest or Chess sets. Chess or Quest. And, I’ll be honest, I’ll be happy for either one, but I already know what I’m going to do for the kickstarter video for PrintAQuest. But I’ve got some cleverness coming to help decide between these 2 options, so stay tuned for that.
