I haven’t had any issues with the 5M pro’s software, I would recommend downloading OrcaFlashforge for the slicer since it is optimized, and the only thing that will get to be annoying is that it will constantly log you out of your account. The mobile and pc ui for the flash forge app sucks and is re

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

I came from FlashForge AD5M to a P2S (still have 2 5Ms) and the supports all but fall off my P2S. I am so accustomed to fighting to remove supports, destroying prints because of supports, have rough surfaces because of supports. On the P2S, it just works.

I have both a P1S and a FlashForge AD5M Pro. Get the P1S. It’s a considerably better printing experience. I have found the Flashforge to be a bit of a pain in the ass to be honest. The software is just garbage unfortunately.

I battled my AD5M Pro for months with random issues like this seemingly unrelated to one another. Long and short of is you need to have dedicated nozzles for different temperature/types of filament. Well… that’s what I did at least and my problems very few and far between. I have a nozzle for PLA, P

It's kinda meh! Whether that was the panel kit I got from AliExpress (it wasn't for sale via FlashForge at the time) or them all, I can't say, alhtough the overall dimensions were correct, hole accuracy wasn't. Hinges didn't align so neither did the door catch, and the hole for the IFS was also out,
