FLASHFORGEAdventurer 5M 3D Printer with Flawless First Layer, Auto Leveling and Quick Release Nozzle,Max Speed 600mm/s,Max Acceleration 20000mm/S²,PEI Build Plate,Support PLA/TPU/PETG

Out of the box and up and printing within 10 mins. Setup is quick and easy, just follow the instructions provided and you won't go wrong. I bought this to replace my K1 Speedy which has sadly broken after 18 months solid hammering. I wanted a machine to replace this (K1) and after research I decided to go for the Flashforge. As stated afer 10 mins we were up and running and the first print was ready for the printer. I used the Orca Flashforge software and it's easy to figure out. My first print was not an easy one by any standards - but WOW!!! I am over the moon with the result, so smooth and accurate it's better than anything my previous printer produced.Now I have been printing 3D for over 18 months but I really am delighted with the print quality of this device, another big bonus is that it really is a low noise machine (compared to K1) - the difference is very noticeable.The first print was so good that I can't see any need to 'tinker' with the slicer - if they all turn out like this then I am honestly delighted.A few other things worth noting - Tree supports (i use these a lot) they came off perfectly with no mess! nevver had this on the K1.Loading filament is so easy - I mean really easy.First Layer - early days but amazing!.Speed - More than happy with the 0.4mm nozzle fitted.Build quality - Great for the price point.Screen and display - all good and do the job.Now if your after a decent printer then I don't think you can go wrong with this device.In summary I am simply delighted - lets hope it serves me well.

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).

The media could not be loaded. This is my first venture into 3D printing and thanks to the Flashforge Adventurer 3 i am well and truly hooked!My brother is massively into 3D printing and i have asked him to print me some items in the past, he suggested i looked at buying myself one, but to be honest, whilst i am very good at new tech, 3D printing looked way too complicated for even me!Whilst browsing the Amazon daily deals i came across this printer, reading the reviews and watching a few online videos everyone seemed to be saying this device required very little knowledge and just kind of worked straight out of the box - i decided to take the plunge and ordered!When the printer arrived i was immediately super impressed by the build quality of the device and the super smart appearance of the machine. I looked at the instructions included and to be honest they were beyond pointless! I therefore watched a setup video online and hooked up the device. To my amazement it really was just plug and play! I had to download the flashprint 5 software which is free from the manufacturers website - again there is no real instructions on how to use this software but online videos helped me through it and it actually was pretty simple!The printer comes with a small test roll of 250g PLA filament in red. Loading the filament was super easy, just place the roll inside the machine, feed the end into the printer and use the touch screen to pull the filament through. The touch screen guides you through the whole process.I was now ready for my first 3D print - Super Excited! I downloaded a couple of free .STL files and loaded them into Flashprint, clicked a couple of buttons and it send the file to the printer. The display on the printer sprung to life and informed me it was receiving the file, it then displayed a nice 3D image of the item i was printing - which was a Benchy (tug boat). The print took around 1hr 30 mins but WOW - how good did this little boat look!!! That's it i was hooked!! I ordered some more filament in black from Amazon and my next project was a skull that could hold pens/pencils. That has now been printing for around 8hrs and has around 3hrs left - so yes it's not a fast process - the machine takes it time, but the detail is just so amazing!What i love about the machine is that it is super quiet, it does not smell when printing, the print area is fully enclosed, touch screen is great, footprint is nice and compact, internal lights make checking on your print really easy, heat up time is astonishingly fast! Biggest plus is that it really is plug and play with no 3D printing knowledge needed!What i didn't like so much about the machine was, camera is pretty poor quality - you also can not view this in the slicing software but instead have to go to the printers IP address to view - it's good enough for you to check on your print but it's quite dark and lacking in detail, the quality looks like VGA rather than 720p. The printer can also only house 500g reels of filament, which are not value for money compared to larger 1kg rolls, however you can easily solve this buy purchasing a filament holder and having your PLA on the outside of the machine. The print bed is fairly small allowing a max of 150mmx150mmx150mm prints - but for a beginners machine i feel that size print is fine for an introduction into the world of 3D printing.In summary, if you are looking at getting into 3D printing then i very highly recommend you look at investing in the Flashforge Adventurer 3 machine - you honestly can not go wrong with this smart looking device! It is truly is ideal for a novice/beginner who has extremely limited knowledge of this daunting hobby. If you are a more experienced 3D printer then you may want to look elsewhere as this machine is pretty locked down in terms of firmware and customisation options.A truly amazing 3D Printer - i am totally in love with this device! I know for a fact i will be upgrading in the future and getting another machine that can perhaps print a little faster and have a larger print area. I will definitely consider getting another larger flashforge printer as i am super impressed with their product.I can not recommend this enough!!! Over the Moon with it!I hope that you found my review helpful
