The FlashForge AD5X Multi-Color 3D Printer Drops to as Low as $172 for Black Friday

The FlashForge AD5X Multi-Color 3D Printer is currently available for as low as $172 on AliExpress during Black Friday, making it an attractive deal for those interested in purchasing a fully-featured printer. The discount can be applied using the coupon code DBDEAL40 for new customers, or the USAFF38 code for returning customers. The printer is sold directly from FlashForge's official store on AliExpress and offers free shipping from the United States, arriving within 1 to 2 weeks.

As one of the least expensive FlashForge printers, the AD5X offers multi-material printing, allowing users to print with multiple colors or filament types simultaneously. It features a CoreXY structure, which improves print speed and precision by having the print head move while the motors remain fixed. The printer boasts an open bed design with a working space of approximately 8.7 cubed. For those looking to create a more stable printing environment, an official $50 enclosure kit is available.

The AD5X offers a print speed of up to 600mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration, enabling it to print a benchy in just 12 minutes. Other notable features include a solid build quality (with metal structural components), a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, auto-leveling, and vibration compensation. Assembly is straightforward, allowing users to make their first test print in a matter of minutes. Although a camera is not included, an official kit can be purchased separately to add one.

The multi-filament module is one of the most important features for mid to professional level enthusiasts, as it allows printing with up to four different colored filaments or filament materials simultaneously. This intelligent filament system can identify and manage all four spools seamlessly and independently. The integrated solution is significantly more cost-effective than purchasing a separate multi-filament add-on, which typically ranges from $200 to $300.
