AD5M

This feels like the start of a bunch of micro purchases that all add up. If you read all the posts about people buying a better class of 3d printer - they all pretty much reference having an ender3 variant of some sort and being a night and day difference, me included. If I could give my younger sel

It comes out of the box pretty squared away. There are things you can do to improve the print quality, performance, etc., but my recommendation would be to follow the included setup guide and then try a few things out for yourself just to get the experience under your belt. Once you've worked with t

I would definitely start with the FlashForge wiki, and then on to YouTube. Tons OB videos out there and the get very specific to the printers. AD5M is a good starter to pick up on the 3d hobby — it’s not overly complex and does a decent job. I had one for about a year and then moved to mostly Bambu

I bought the FlashForge AD5M Pro, which reviews recommend for beginners. Pluck also recommends the AD5X, which can print several colors but is a bit more manual.

I have the FlashForge AD5M and the Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I would buy the CC over the AD5M every single time. The bigger build volume is one, and the primary one, it matches the Bambulab X1C so a lot more prints are possible that are designed for that build volume, the other is that with the CC I h

It's definitely 220x220x220mm build volume I have one with around 700 hours on it and they are great until they start having issues. Support sucks imo and I've had to replace my nozzle/hot end, extruder cable, and extruder board all within 3 months of owning it. I believe either the cable or board h
