FLASHFORGE Adventurer 5M 3D Printer with Fully Auto Leveling, Max 600mm/s High Speed Printing, 280°C Direct Extruder with 3S Detachable Nozzle, Core XY All Metal Structure, Print Size 220x220x220mm

The printer worked awesome, I started having a few issues, that I believe were operator error. The printer preformed flawlessly, and I was amazed by the quality for such a low price and ease of use. I was so impressed I ended up buying the Flashforge Adventure 5M Pro. The 5M Pro is well worth the little extra for the enclosure, Camera, filtering, internal fan. I have put a little over 100 hours on it and it amazes me at how well it works right out of the box. I have not had to modify, adjust, repair, replace anything. I just turn it on, load the filament and start printing. The software works with very little knowledge of 3d printing. Flashprint works really well to get started. The Orca Slicer that is free from Flashforge website, will make your prints even better. Before purchasing the Flashforge, I was contemplating the Bambu Labs Products. I just could not justify the double price for the same quality of prints. I researched for weeks comparing prints from each unit and there was not any difference in the quality. In fact I think the print quality of the 5M Pro was actually a little better. I am not a paid Vine reviewer, this product was purchased by me and I have no obligation to make any claims on how well the product works. I can recommend this printer if you are starting out and want some better than the budget friendly models out there.

Fantastic Printer. Love that it is pretty much ready to go out of the box. Minimal set up required. links to your computer or phone via a Wireless network. (connection can be spotty at times) Auto bed level and easy to use interface paired with a touch screens allows even a child to operate. Love this printer and will probably purchase another as my demand for printing grows. But this thing is fast. Like REALLY fast. Prints that use to take me 18 Hrs now print in 6 Hrs. same settings practically. Bed takes a moment to heat up but the hot end takes a matter of moments to get to working temp. Open source as well allowing a large amount of customization options. Flashforge even encourages it as the supply files for part upgrades for the printer (Light and filament mounts, Full enclosure kits). Originally was going to get the Bambu Lab A1 until i found out about there policy update. Not to mention they are a closed source company) Long story short 9/10 would recommend.

Shipping was fast.Install easy. If not there is plenty of support and videos to help someone if lost.WARNING: Do not put filament sample that is shipped with this printer on its holder. Doing so may cause damage to the machine. Ask me how I know. My filament sample was wounded up and I thought I Had it completely untangled and set the filament on its designed location but since this filament doesn’t come on a roll the filament just has a mind of its own. My filament was no longer sliding and ended up becoming too tight for the printer to pull the filament to the nozzle. I may have a damaged product now because of this. We will see. And I will update weather support is helpful or not.I’m a complete amateur on 3D design and the printing process. I did run TinkerCad and was able to print a few things with a little bit of a learning curve. Without YouTube I would have been lost. Best of luck.UPDATED: It has taken time for me to learn how to design things and after a few weeks I put this printer to use. Long story short, this printer has failed me after 7 different prints. I mean actual printers where something takes 30 mins to 3 hours to complete. My failure started when I was printing things back to back trying to fine tone my design and I ended up with a lot of Filament in a large blob pile instead of any sort of design. I tried to clean the nozzle right quick and try my luck again but I only ended up with a smaller blob of plastic. I decided to give the printer a rest and to try my design again but only doing one part on the layout instead of 2 or 3. This didn't go so well. The printer didn't go home or calibrate correctly on its on and when it started to print the nozzle dug into the base plate causing deem scoring marks. I tried to buff them out and the plate is probably going to be ok for what i need out of the printer but that's not the issue now. My issue continues to be filament not coming out when changing filament. More so I cant get the printer to even print a practice cube. I've tried completely cleaning the nozzle, removed the extruder and filament completely and made sure the extruder gears are messed with no missing or broken wheel cogs or teeth and watched the gears spin and feed the filament into the nozzle. My nozzle temp gets up to 280 degrees but still things are not feeding or spray out even the smallest practice designs. I cant even get a line up mark on the base plate. This printer is supposedly suppose to be simple and great for beginners. With my background in fixing robots and machinery this thing is giving me hell. I can only hope flash forge does away with this model.I would love nothing more than my money back or a newer model this thing needs to go in the trash. I had a feeling things would go south after the issue at setup and they did.
