What’s New with the AD5X?
We’ve listened closely to user feedback and made targeted improvements. The Flashforge AD5X introduces four major upgrades, combining precision mechanics with smarter usability:
New Spool Holder
The redesigned spool holder supports inner spool diameters of 52–58 mm, making it compatible with most mainstream filament spools. It ensures smoother feeding, less tension, and greater stability during high-speed printing.
Enhanced Waste Eject Mechanism
The waste eject system now features millimeter-level precision, a dual-spring power boost (120%), and a low-resistance glide path for cleaner and more reliable filament ejection. This upgrade reduces downtime and keeps the print environment tidy.
Orca-flashforge Slicer Support
A long-requested feature for DIY enthusiasts: the AD5X is now fully compatible with Orca-flashforge Slicer. With this open-source slicing software, users gain more control, faster slicing, and professional-level output.
Upgraded Filament System (IFS)
Our self-developed Intelligent Filament System (IFS) has been enhanced to support 1.55–1.75 mm filament diameters, ensuring compatibility with almost all mainstream materials. Automatic detection and smoother switching allow continuous, interruption-free printing.
More Options for 3D Printing Creators
To unlock even more potential, the AD5X offers additional accessories designed for flexibility and ease of use:
-
Customizable Dry Box – Partition the storage space as needed, keeping multiple filaments in optimal condition while preventing moisture damage.
-
Cold Plate Printing – The new cold build plate reduces heated bed energy consumption and minimizes warping during prints, ensuring a smoother experience. Compatible with AD5X, AD5M, and AD5M Pro.
These options allow creators to adapt the AD5X for different printing environments—from personal makerspaces to professional studios.
