FLASHFORGE Adventurer 5M 3D Printer, 600mm/s High-Speed, 1 Click Fully Auto Leveling, Upgraded Direct extruder Quick Detachable 280°C Nozzle, Dual-Sided PEI Coating Plate, Print Size 220x220x220mm

Over 150h and 1.5km of filament and id say its well worth the money one thing i must say is do not rush setting up ur machine take your time and read the included booklets ensure everything is correct and as it should be (shipping companies are not always very nice to your packages they may get damaged in shipping) if you've done that you should be in for a good time printing only thing im not a big fan of is the rear mounted filament holder but u can print one that hangs off the side in about 4h or a stand alone one in about 6h on ad5m pro

I had purchased two printers from a different company on here and both had constant issues and I had to return both. Then I got this.. All I can say is WOW. It is so easy and user friendly. Straight forward pretty much from out of the box. I love that it's enclosed, super quiet. We are printing while watching tv. There is two doors to enter the printer, top and side. It didnt fit a spool of filament that was super small but I just printed a hook that attaches to it. The bed raises up and down so really no problems with bed levelling and foolling around with settings. The internal camera only works with one of the two slicer programs that comes with it. If you use Orca slicer you can't monitor the camera from the printer. A mild workaround. The FlashPrint 5 Slicer is simple to use, and you can see the camera from the computer but limited settings. That being said, I have been able to do all I need with it. There is no app to control remotely, but I have attached a smart plug on it to shut it off if things go wrong. (which it hasn't needed to do). I am utterly delighted with this printer. Great for newbies and people who don't like to tinker and just want their prints to work the first time.

One year UPDATE: Still working flawlessly. I would recommend this printer to anyone, especially for a first time user. This is a great printer. Well, I have to say I am very impressed with this little guy. Since I had been using a 2019 printer of a different brand, with a much larger footprint, when I downsized to this one, I was not expecting the print quality that I am seeing. Pros: Small footprint, was up and running in under 10 minutes, all metal frame, X,Y,Z axis, nice controller once you get used to it, has handled all types of PLA so far Cons: Small build limit, not crazy about a filament feed tube, no auto shutoff (the Pro version has it for a couple hundred dollars more), it continued to try to print with an empty feed due to a tangle (but only on the loose sample, never on rolls), I couldn't get it to connect to our wi-fi, but I didn't try the 2.4g extender, only the 5g mesh router. So far, the learning curve was easy. I had a printer before, so that may have helped a lot. But I think the biggest hurdle is always the new software. This particular printer does best with the recommended Orca Slicer. I either download STL files from Thingiverse or make my own STL files from Fusion 360. I import them into Orca Slicer and size and tweak as needed. Then slice the plate, and export to g-code to a memory stick. That then goes into the control panel on the printer itself. Very easy to get to, it's at the top front of the printer. It's now printing a 12+ hour job and I'll try to post it when it finishes. Aside from these prints in the photos, I have only done a tiny sample tugboat and it came out very smooth.

I have been self-buiding.my 3D printers for some time since the last one I purchased before this. I was unsatisfied with the print quality and speed that were previously available in a budget printer choice, and ones that I knew could deliver seemed to be better as a self-build. My best printer is still self-built, however I spent much more on the components to build it than this whole unit. It has several very nice features which result in very good quality prints. Many automatic features make dealing with the printer simple and beginner friendly. In the "cons" column is the proprietary network interface, which restricts the slicers that can be (easily) used with it. You can implement Klipper on the printer which will then open up the choices, but with the standard firmware you can use the proprietary slicer or Orca slicer. Fortunately Orca slicer (for which there is a pre-built profile) is quite robust and not difficult to switch to from PrusaSlicer. I could not upload gcode from PrusaSlicer to the printer, but didn't spend much time trying. The standard touch screen let's you manage sliced print files, change filaments and other standard tasks. The filament sensor is not a very advanced one and only lets you know if there is no filament in the tube. It cannot detect if the filament has stopped moving from a tangled spool or other feed issue. It does pause the printer appropriately. (Full disclosure, I have only ever used a simple microswitch holder myself as a filament sensor.) All in all, a great printer for the money, it creates excellent results.

We were using an Ender 3v3 and had constant issues. Partner decided to upgrade with the Adventurer 5M, and honestly it was the best decision we ever made. We've had minimal to no issues with the 5M - any problems that occurred was either the filament or our settings being incorrect. The digital interface is easy to use with clear, easy to follow instructions, filament switching is a breeze, you don't have to worry about an SD card as you can transmit on your local network. The ability to purchase a camera add-on from the Flashforge site brings you accessibility from anywhere! We were out at dinner and my partner was watching the print remotely via the App. Using the same filament (Polymaker) in the Ender 3v3 resulted in more of a shiny texture for pretty much everything; as you can see from the photos everything looks incredible! We're super happy with this purchase :)
