I have had it for over a month now and I have gone just one day without printing something. Right out of the box, it works wonderfully and is a lot less hassle than the reviews led me to believe. In fact, I tried tinkering with settings when I thought it needed it a couple of times, when really, all I needed was to calibrate the machine from the app on my phone (or from the device). Very simple! Setup was easy and with OrcaSlicer, prints are very easy!To be fair to some people who have complained, I had to learn to use the calibration option a couple of times when prints didn't look great or they started off not too good. Auto leveling helps a lot too. That's perfectly okay. You can't learn if you don't mess up a few prints. I am still doing that, but my successful prints are far more than the ones that don't turn out. I have also learned that it helps to modify the gcode to print a line before it does it's nozzle cleaning routine, to get the first piece of filament out of the way.As a word of caution, don't use ChatGPT. There isn't enough content out there to draw from and so it will give you bad advice! Printables.com is your friend.It's quiet, clean, and fun. Definitely worth the purchase!

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 farCons: 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.

This is a fantastic printer. I am actually going to be adding more of these to my printer lineup. I like the fact that they are enclosed and I can print Asa, abs, tpu, pc, petg, TPU, pla and carbon fiber filaments. Comes with .4 and .6 nozzles. Quick and easy swap out of nozzles. Only thing that I would change would be print a side spool holder versus the one that comes on the back of it. Touch screen works great love the fact that it auto bed levels. Virtually zero assembly. With the lid down you do have some noise but no different than any other printer. I would highly recommend this product

This machine does not finish print jobs. What good is a printer that will not print?Purchased the Adventurer 5M during prime day sales. It was easy to set up. The first warning was when it did not print the test cube during set up. The hot end and bed both finished heating and the machine froze. After powering down the machine and restarting it, I was able to print the key chain file without issue.I then connected the machine to WiFi and did a firmware update to 2.7.2 and decided to start printing the DIY enclosure. The files are from their website.The shorter prints work fine. It printed the cable chain and the hinges. The longer prints, however, always freeze. Three times they have just stopped printing.If you plan on printing any print that takes longer than 3 hours DO NOT BUY this machine.

This is a great 3D printer for someone that wanted to start 3d printing. Price is good and quality is excellent. It's very user friendly. Seller shipped pretty fast and package came secure. My husband loves this printer and uses it daily. I highly recommened for someone who wants to start 3d printing.
