Flashforge Adventurer 5M 3D Printer with Flawless First Layer, Auto Leveling and Quick Release Nozzle,Max Speed 600mm/s,CoXY All-metal Structure,Build Volume:220 * 220 * 220mm,Support PLA/TPU/PETG

My first ever 3d printer. I was thinking I would find it too complicated to use but fear not. It’s very useful friendly. You can use the software which you download free from the website or even print straight from a usb stick. The printer has a fan and is quite noisy but it’s not too bad. Think it’s for the cooling. It takes a while to print as it prints layer by layer. It came with some filament with it but not much. There were some built in designs to start you off. It’s amazing value for money. It’s bulky so you need space for it. I like watching it print as the platform raising and lowers on its own. Good adhesion and only one model has failed to print so far. Not sure if you can print WiFi wirelessly yet so I just connect it via usb. If you are after a starting printer then this is a good one to get.

Got this for my son for his birthday. Easy to set up and use. Printed many things and the quality us good for the price. Some printing errors have occurred but think that is just trial and error and a learning curve

Prints are quite good when it works. Which isn't very often. 1 successful print on the day I received the machine, after that and in quick succession we had; The head crashing into the print - even printing at considerably reduced speeed. Screen freezing - the touch screen, by the way, is less responsive than a corpse in full rigor. No way to resume after pausing a print (seriously?) Inability to control Z offset properly. Inability to control print speed simply and easily. Actually, it's not possible to control anything simply and easily. Right, they are the material reasons why it's going back to Amazon tomorrow. Other than that; The Orca software would drive most noobs to insanity. I'm quite experienced with 3D printing and was quite minded to take a sledge hammer ot it. The other offered software is so basic as to be quite silly. Settings applied in the software to control the printing process mostly seem to be completely ignored by the printer. This is just another case of a shoddy product which the provider expects you to re-engineer so it works properly. I very much doubt I will buy another Flashforge product in the foreseeable future. I've actually wanted one of these for a while. Very dissappointed indeed. CoreXY printers should produce better quality prints and be very reliable, this one is neither and I am far from the only person experiencing these exact issues, I guess I'm lucky I didn't get all the other issues as well. Buy something useful instead, start with a nice bottle of wine, it'll make you feel better. A budget bed slinger is far more likely to produce a decent print. *Edit - the following day.* After the courier lied about failing to collect the return (don't even ask), Amazon refunded me and said I can keep the failed printer. Which actually made my day as I love tinkering. I then spent several hours trying to make it at least a bit useful. That was a total fail and I'm currently looking for a very high building I can drop it safely from the top of. Sadly the tinkering was largely a fail. :-( If you're quite determined to give yourself a stress related disease, you can at least alleviate your symptoms slightly, some very nice person has created a profile for Cura, it seems to work fine - so long as you ignore all the other issues. Google 'using cura with flashforge adventurer 5' (other search engines may still be available.) Have fun.

I've been 3D printing for over 10 years and use both FDM and resin printers bought from Amazon. The first, a makerbot clone lasted almost 9 years and finally got retired. I bought the flashforge adventurer 5M and wow, what a difference . Whilst the old printer worked fine, it was slow and somewhat questionable in terms of finish of the print. The Flashforge Adventurer 5M is a marked step up in every direction, fast, very fast, very easy to use. The instructions to set up are very simple, accurate and do get you printing in less than the 10 minutes stated. It's the quality that really shows, the all in one nozzle is a breath of fresh air when compared to the multiple components of other machines (including the old makerbot). Yes, a complete nozzle is more expensive than the parts, but look after the machine, use good quality filament and it will reward you with consistent, good quality prints that are are a pleasure to produce and not a fear inducing one (fear as in, will it print completely and not fall off the bed!!) The print bed is also excellent, gone are the days of blue tape, ABS goop, elmers glue etc etc. This bed gives perfect adherence every time and if you are particularly concerned about a print, the supplied Flashforge glue stick contains a liquid that goes on easily and give a very reliable base to print on. The fact that it's then simple to lift the magnetic place and flex it to get the print off, is the icing on the cake. It's also very easy to customise, so, even though this is perfect for the beginner, if you are more advanced, then you can customise this printer very easily, from the enclosure, to light, cameras etc. But importantly, there is no need to customise the hot end of the filament run (unless you go for multiple filaments).

Not long had this printer, first time ever getting into 3d printing and so far loving it! I’ve had no issues with the printer so far, I would highly recommend it, beginner friendly and easy to set up from the box! Attached video is me making a pen pot because why not 😂 have made other stuff too not just this!

OK, I have worked my way through many lesser 3D printers. This one worked straight out of the box, and has produced many prints in the two days it's been with me. The fans are a little on the loud side, as it's an unenclosed printer, but, there's a printable body shell you can print, add a few acrylic panels, and you pretty much have the "Pro" version. YT vids show quite a drop in Db with the panels in place, so it's on the list for a home-made upgrade. Also, adding the camera. Enclosure kits and camera both on Amazon (other stores do exist, but will be slower delivery...) The supplied PLA test filament is lovely, incidentially - burnt titanium. Have also printed with "no-name" generic white PLA with no issues. Get the latest firmware, it's important, and will be detected by the contol panel as soon as it has a wifi connection. Latest Octo-Flashforge software is used to slice and send wirelessly to the unit, which stores the pattern internally, which is nifty. You can also pop the GCode file on a USB, but wireless is simple, and doesn't require a connection once the printer is doing it's thing. Self levelling is available when you send also, guaranteeing that first layer has the best chance of working. Print speed is fast. Non-printing movement is also very rapid (around 6 times the speed of printing) - this means prints come out fast, accurate BUT there is a degree of shake - so this unit needs to be firmly located on a nice solid surface... Would I recommend this to a complete novice - yep, it's pretty much lift out of the box, update firmware, install filament, upload STL and your're away. The ecosystem is somewhat locked in though, so if you are someone who wants to tweak the life out of an already fast and accurate printer, then this is probably not for you.... but for me, the guy who just wants prints to work, and to look good - this is ideal!

My daughter loves it she has made loads of incredible things money well spent

I have purchased this printer and after having it for over a year I am able to make an honest review about it. The printer Is great for people that are looking into getting their first printer for recreation and Is pre-built and ready to print after downloading the software for it if you want to print different STL files, there is also demos on the printer already loaded. its great for you to experience what 3D printing is all about and get you into the hobby. However, as I have ventured more into the 3D printing world I realise that for my situation it may not be the best choice. the printer held up strong but after a year of constant printing it slowly deteriorates which reduces that quality of the prints, new belts may be needed after long usage. after a year of usage when downloading to print the extruder dug itself into the PEI print bed leaving gashes in it making it redundant. it also worn down the extruder nozzle which upon looking to buy a new one, I found that there never in stock (0.4mm). because of this I have decided to move from the flash forge to bambu labs printers as they can withstand the heavy load of printing. it also only prints in one colour which means that the only way to change colours is if you pause the print and change spools which may cool the print bed and release the print. If you are a new time buyer don’t let me discourage you, this printer is very beginner friendly and with the frame around it, it’s a lot harder to damage the extruder when transporting. this isn’t a bad review about the printer, it’s more about my situation meaning that this printer isn’t suited. If you are going to be doing lots of prints in a short space of time or long prints then I would look for a more advanced printer. suggestions: Bambu lab A1 , A1 mini , P1S (my choice) also side note, if you are using it around your living space I would advise getting a air purifier because pla chemicals are released into the air which may cause health problems down the line.
