AD5M

I switched to Orca Slicer 2.3.2 and rolled back my AD5M Pro to an older firmware. Things are going mostly well since I did that. Not really planning to upgrade to the latest of anything from FlashForge for a while.

Way better method of monitoring your printer remotely than Flashforges awful app. Better control over just about every aspect of your printer. Bed mesh function that allows you to make sure your bed is physically level, which makes the auto-level way more accurate and prints come out better. Select

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

ZMOD is the only one I know of for the AD5X... For the AD5M there is Forge-X? Personally I'm running ZMOD on my AD5X - can't recommend it enough! Flashing that is the very first thing that everyone should do - kinda like using Edge to download Firefox! lol.

You don't need the ssh access unless you intend to go back to stock and Forge-X uninstall nuked your AD5M json file (it did for mine) which I believe is a rare side effect of the removal process. The screen loss is just some of the stock functions but you can control literally everything from a web

In my experience FlashForge makes good stuff. They just don't have the clout Bambu has yet, but that may change. I like that they use Orca. I've heard good and bad on support. I upgraded my AD5M for CF prints and it works great. The only regret I has was not getting a pro but I upgraded it myself an

You're going to see all kinds of opinions. I went from an ender 3 (still working just fine after a few choice mods) to a flash forge ad5m. Love it. Huge upgrade in speed while maintaining quality. I also have an ad5x now, even better. I don't think you can go very wrong with anything nowadays. My pe

Pretty sure you can do that from the "secret menu" https://www.reddit.com/r/FlashForge/comments/1o46u8i/secret_menu_for_calibrating_leveling_sensors_ad5m/ However, if you use ZMOD you can just do it directly, too. The head just needs to come forward a little bit, I suspect.

Flashforge, friend. I have the ad5m pro, would suggest to you the multicolor one tho (forgot its name) Being an android guy i know how important non-proprietary software is. You can mod it to your liking. Forge-x is phenomenal.

I don’t see anyone mention FlashForge. But I’ve been very happy with mine. I have a couple of Ad5m pros that are work horses and a Ad5x that I printed an enclosure for. They’re mostly feature rich aside from an app, but they’re open source so you can install different firmware and get all the contro
