Flashforge Adventurer 5M 3D Printer with Flawless First Layer, Automatic Leveling and Quickly Removable Nozzles, Maximum Speed 600mm/s, CoXY Full Metal Structure

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).

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.

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.

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

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!

Meets all expectations. Easy to set up did first print 10 minutes after set up. Solid design best printer under $500

Imprimante 3D performante avec un bon rapport qualité prix.

Ho acquistato la Flashforge Adventurer 5M come prima stampante 3D “seria”, e non posso che ritenermi pienamente soddisfatto. La macchina è arrivata perfettamente imballata, già semi-assemblata e pronta all’uso in pochissimi minuti. Il livellamento automatico ha funzionato al primo tentativo senza bisogno di alcuna regolazione manuale. Subito dopo ho avviato la mia prima stampa – un drago articolato – e il risultato mi ha lasciato a bocca aperta. Nessun warping, dettagli sorprendenti per il prezzo che ha, e un’aderenza perfetta del primo layer (vedi foto allegate). Ugello a rilascio rapido: comodo, innovativo e soprattutto veloce. Ho potuto rimuoverlo e pulirlo senza alcun attrezzo. Silenziosissima: l’ho usata in camera senza disturbi. Pro: • Livellamento automatico super preciso • Ugello intercambiabile in pochi secondi • Primo layer perfetto già alla prima stampa • Alta qualità dei dettagli • Compatta e silenziosa • Ottima anche per principianti CONTRO: • Il software proprietario è discreto, ma consiglio comunque l’uso con slicer esterni (es. Cura) per un controllo totale. Le immagini che allego mostrano la mia prima stampa in assoluto realizzata con PLA grigio standard: un oggetto articolato, complesso e ricco di dettagli – stampato senza alcun problema. Consiglio vivamente questa stampante a chi vuole iniziare con un prodotto affidabile, oppure a chi cerca una macchina solida per uso quotidiano. Questa è una recensione imparziale scritta dopo utilizzo reale del prodotto, do 5 stelle perché per me é perfetta per chi è neofita nel settore.

Sehr einfache Installation des 3-D Druckers. Bisher funktioniert alles reibungslos. Funktion mit Übertragung der 3-D Modellen steht noch aus. Als Einsteigerprodukt zu empfehlen

He pillado una buena oferta y tras ver muchas reseñas de la impresora, decidí probarla. Vengo de otra impresora de hace 6 o 7 años, así que os podéis imaginar el cambio. Lo primero, me ha sorprendido la rapidez con la que se monta (más bien desmonta los tornillos) para empezar a usarla, las instrucciones son claras y en unos 15 min ya la tenía lista. Cometí el error de poner un PLA antiguo para la primera impresión de prueba/calibración que hace de forma automática. Digo error porque la calibración está diseñada para hacerse a 230° y mi PLA soporta solo hasta 220°, así que se atascó el nozzle y no pudo finalizarla, pero como digo, fue error mío (para que lo tengáis en cuenta). Vino con un firmware muy antiguo y aún con wifi, no dejaba actualizarla, decía que todo ok y reiniciase la impresora, pero nada, no actualizaba, así que descargué en un USB el firmware de la página oficial y ¡Ups!, la impresora se quedó en bucle y no arrancaba. Me puse en contacto con el soporte oficial un domingo (pensando que a saber cuando me iban a dar una solución) y me respondieron a la hora. Resulta que otra vez cometí un error, y fue no descomprimir el .zip en el USB, no indicaban que hubiera que hacerlo (ahí un poco de falta de explicación por su parte, ya que aún no descomprimido la impresora detectaba el firmware, pero claro, lo instalaba de forma incorrecta). Una vez hecho eso, ya inició normalmente con todas las mejoras que trae la última actualización, conectando con el laminador y la su propia app sin problemas, mostrando las previsualizaciones de los archivos gcode en la pantallita, etc. Después de ese pequeño inconveniente (paciencia, si os pasa igual no desesperéis que todo tiene solución y bastante rápida) la he puesto a trabajar durante días y no me ha dado ni un solo fallo. Incluso pausando la impresión y cambiando el filamento puedes imprimir a varios colores perfectamente. Tuve un apagón en casa y la impresora continuó desde donde se había quedado y dejó la pieza perfecta. Estoy encantada, la verdad. Requiere muy poco mantenimiento (limpieza de la cabina diaria recomendable, las varillas y engrasarla cada 200h de impresión más o menos). Cuando va rápido y se mueve mucho, tiene muy buen sistema de amortiguación y no salen las líneas de capa desplazadas. Alguna vez he tenido que ajustar la temperatura de la cama un poco más fuerte porque en esa habitación hace mazo frío y ahí si que se despegaba de la base si la pieza era muy alta, pero como digo, solucionado. Hay que tener en cuenta el ambiente en el que se encuentra y que no es una impresora completamente cerrada. No obstante, me estoy planteando comprar el kit para convertirla a ello. En definitiva, creo que relación calidad precio, servicio postventa del fabricante, y facilidad de uso entre otras cosas seguramente sea la mejor del mercado actual, por este precio.
