FLASHFORGE Adventurer 5M 3D Printer High Speed Max 600mm/s with Auto Leveling, 3-Second Nozzle Change, 220×220×220mm Printing, 280°C Direct Drive for Kids/Beginners/Home

The Flashforge Adventurer 5M is a great printer. Fast, reliable, excellent quality prints, and trouble free, Did I mention Fast? Fastest set up of any printer I have owned. I didn't love the ribbon cable attachment to the screen, unnecessarily more difficult than most, but I attached it successfully. I suggest study the ribbon cable and port carefully, take your time and align it properly. I was up and printing in less than a hour with uncrating and setup and calibration. Calibration was automatic and the leveling program is the easiest I have seen. With the ease of setup, ease of leveling, ease of calibration I would recommend the AD5M for entry level users as well as experienced users. I have been wanting a Core XY printer for a long time. The AD5M is my first and it is everything I hoped it would be. I am using full Orca Slicer 2.2.0 and it has worked well so far. I am in the learning phase with Orca Slicer but the AD5M defaults have worked very well for me so far. I think it will only get better as I learn the ins and outs of this slicer. I own 8 printers of various brands. I have gone down the upgrade and tinkerer road with several Enders, I have upgraded or replaced every part except the frame. I have compiled my own firmware, I have tinkered with multi-colored printing. I have a lot of successful prints under my belt and plenty of failures. When I tried to make one of my Enders fast with Klipper, it was nothing but frustration. I never got very fast and my quality suffered unbelievably. The AD5M prints like a dream and it is everything I had hoped to achieve with my Klipperized Ender3Pro. I won't stop tinkering as the AD5M is teaching me things that may help. But I don't feel a need to tinker with the AD5M at all at present. Great Printer, Great Quality prints, Great Value, Easy to Setup and Use, and FAST!!!!

Puts the fun back in printing. Very little setup. Prints TPU about 6 times faster than my old prusa clone printer. The auto level works. The Flashforge slicer works. The WiFi works. The hot end is available at Amazon for about $35. I printed a kilo of TPU without a single bad print. The magnetic build plate is textured steel and TPU peels off with no problem.

This printer is very simple and easy to use. You can store print files on the internal storage to skip using a computer to upload it each time. The one problem I have, is when feeding new filament in, rather it be the first time or switching colors during a build is that the feeder doesn’t feed the filament all the way to the print head. When feeding in new filament for the first time, I have to actually run the feed option twice. During a build, I can’t and so it continues to “print” with the filament still halfway in the feeding tube. For printing with one single color filament, this works great though!

First off, I have a lot of other machines from different manufacturers (Bambu, Qidi, etc.) and I gotta say--this one really surprised me with it's build quality, print quality and the speed of the prints. I built it a custom enclosure under a stacked Lack table, directly under my Qidi Q1 Pro, and it has been slinging prints non stop. This is a hidden gem that I'm recommending to friends to start out with as we're all tinkerers and want to play with our devices. Pros: - Noise level is not a big deal, my enclosure all but silenced it. - Bed Adhesion, zero problems there. Everything sticks perfectly. I do not use glue, never have, just dish soap and alcohol to prep. - Bed Leveling is automatic, which is great! - The ability to customize this printer is AWESOME. I can see myself doing a lot more with this machine than my A1/A1 Mini. - Price. I mean come on, it's crazy cheap for the value you receive. - With the enclosure and hardened nozzles, I was able to print ABS, ASA, PETG-CF, PLA-CF & Wood without a single hiccup. Just dialed in the settings and I was off to the races. Cons: - Honestly, it's not even a con, you can print multiple colors but I didn't buy this for that function. I have others for that. - Camera. That's about it...it didn't come with one BUT having the ability to add one is huge, that's my next upgrade. 10/10, 5/5, 2 Thumbs up for the 5M.

This was the second one I purchased. The first was a Christmas gift and it worked well enough for the first couple months then started having a lot of issues. The second one I purchased was junk from the start. I tried troubleshooting several issues with customer services but ended up returning within the return window. One major issue I have with both was the clogging, some times I was able to fix, but I had to replace the nozzle numerous times in the 6 months. I was using dry filament and the room was a low humidity. The biggest annoyance was that the nozzles were $30 when many other brands are closer to $10.

Great quality fast and easy to use I love this machine makes printing fun cuts time down by far and makes really good money due to its speed and quality

No No No. Purchased this unit as a Xmas gift for my family. Unit arrived damaged - scratch on screen +. Despite the scratched screen - attempted installation. There is NOTHING user friendly about this model. In particular - the connector between the cable and the control module is IMPOSSIBLE. IMPOSSIBLE for a professional and worse than that for a novice. Contacted customer service and although they agreed to replace the module - it is out of stock and has to come from CHINA by DHL and that will be 7-10 days AFTER the holiday. As insurance - I bought ANOTHER unit and returned the first. Guess what ......... SAME DAMAGE; SAME LACK OF USER FRIENDLINESS. Out of the question. There goes Christmas. There goes $500 until both go back to Amazon. Found a chat about FlashForge and FOUR OTHER BUYERS said the exact same thing about the cable/module connection. I'd suggest you find another product.
