FlashForge AD5X 3D Printer Review: A Smart Choice for Colour Builds

For makers, parents with curious teenagers, or anyone refining a spare-room workshop in the United Kingdom, the FlashForge × JOYBUY AD5X Multicolour 3D Printer feels like a very practical step up. Its flexible PEI plate has that lightly textured, grippy feel that helps prints release with a satisfying bend, while the 600 mm/s high-speed printing, 300 °C hotend and automatic levelling keep fuss down. The 220*220*220 mm space suits desk organisers, models and prototypes, though oversized cosplay pieces will need splitting.
