As with any product, they look easy to use. I have a lot to learn yet. There are some very good YouTube videos that share their knowledge with you. Personally, I've had very few successes printing. I print small, (N Scale for my railroad = 1/160th). The details (from downloads I gotten) print well. Overall, from the research I've done there are very few 3D printers that have the features the AD5X has. A YouTube I watch, the instructor listed support setting and other settings that he found to be optimum. Flash Forge has those settings as default. I'm still learning as I go. And I've discovered that cheaper filaments are not has reliable as the Flash Forge and other higher end brands. It seems time affects their quality, and older filament gets brittle. Cheaper might be older.
Be prepared to do a lot of online study and experience frustrations, and that goes for any 3D printer you buy. I don't have much experience with 3D printing, but from what I've learned and saw online, the Flash Forge AD5X is currently one of the best to have.
As with any computer the tech is ever changing, but as of today in
Dec 2025, I'm glad I got this one.

Few strings
Prints nicely. A few strings at the start with Orca Flash Maker and AD5X default settings

Good looking prints
I struggled with this filament at first, but after a quick cycle I the dryer it has been look great and I am almost empty and will need to order another

First Flashforge purchase!
Purchased 2 rolls of filament from Flashforge, both colors I never heard of. Purchase went very smoothly, and product arrived right on time. Very pleased with both rolls; love the colors!

GREAT filament
I've tried other brands but Flashforge simply works best with Flashforge machines. Don't bother with any other brand.
It prints smoothly with no clogging issues. My go-to choice for most of my projects!
FAQ
Our filaments are compatible with most 3D printers on the market, such as Bambu's A1, P1, X1 series, Creality's K1C, Ender series, and many others.
For beginners, we highly recommend the PLA and PETG series filaments. These materials are user-friendly and offer high success rates. PLA filaments are known for their ease of printing, smooth surface finishes, and environmental friendliness. PETG filaments, on the other hand, provide a good balance of strength and flexibility, making them suitable for a variety of applications. Both series are great choices for those starting out in 3D printing.
The overall performance differences are not significant. If you want your printed models to be more impact-resistant, choose PLA Pro. If you have high-speed printing needs, such as running a business that requires quick model production, HS PLA will be a good choice. You can make a choice based on the specific properties of each filament.
By balancing the melt flow rate and flow temperature, HS PLA ensures smooth flow in its molten state and faster cooling during printing. This results in smooth filament extrusion without nozzle clogging during high-speed printing, and rapid cooling without deformation, significantly increasing production efficiency and making it perfect for business users who need fast delivery.

The filament diameter is 1.75mm. The standard specification is 1kg, with some options available in 0.5kg.
Our filaments are certified by SDS, RoHS, and REACH. Quality and safety are guaranteed.
Recommended storage conditions: Room temperature to 40°C, ≤20% RH (sealed, with desiccant).
