New Flashforge 3D Printer Launched — Multicolour Now

Sound the print alarms—the Flashforge AD5X has landed, and it’s bringing true four-colour FDM to your bench with serious speed and serious polish. This CoreXY stunner is purpose-built for vibrant models, crisp edges, and a setup so quick you’ll be firing off your first colour-rich part before the kettle boils.

The headline act is smart multi-colour printing with no colour bleeding. Each switch triggers an automatic nozzle clean, so stripes stay sharp, gradients are silky, and detail lines pop just the way you designed them. Backed by the classic CoreXY structure, the AD5X tames vibration for repeatable accuracy—perfect when you’re running identical parts back-to-back and still demand tight tolerances.

And yes, it’s fast. The AD5X rockets to 600 mm/s with 20,000 mm/s² acceleration, wiping out the “overnight print” mindset and making iteration feel instant. Real life interruptions? Handled. A 99% resume-print success rate means power hiccups don’t turn into failed projects. For single-colour jobs, automatic filament switching rolls seamlessly to the next spool when one runs dry—print with confidence and walk away.

Setup is wonderfully simple: three steps—install the screen, the filament holder, and the multicolour module—then you’re off. Maintenance is just as slick thanks to a quick-release nozzle that lets you replace only the nozzle (not the entire head), saving about 30% on consumable costs over time.
