FLASHFORGEAdventurer 5M Pro 3D Printers with High-speed Printing,Max 600mm/s, Rapid Heating with 280° Nozzle,Internal & External Circulation Dual Air Filtration,Achieve Smooth & Effortless Printing

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).

Still to this day Its a solid printer!After my1200hours of printer I have updated and upgraded only minor things. Its 1500 hours and still running. I also got 2 for my school as D&T teacher and business account get it cheaper £330 it was and £305 now with the discounted price.I have updated the belt with I hated but it doesn't make much of a difference! I used to think its going to be a headache but it was 20min with NO disassembly required! I kid you not.As a High speed printer it’s very fast and it has a lot of torque! So the standard Belt was made to break! The printer will outlive the belt.Fastest way to change the belt is to undo X first from both sides of the printhead, glue one side to the new belt, then just pull through and feed the new one in place. Its that easy and its only 1.5/1.3meters of belt required for X and same goes for Y axes.Printable have a good 5M/5MPro communities as well as Thingyverse. Fot new tool head cooler and such.I advise you to go on Alibaba for part cooling fan if you break it like me or for toolhead fan. Its only £2/£3 each on their and no where to be found on Amazon or Temu. It works a charm.The top lid extension is a must! (You now if you know)Extended Bowden tube and replacement is a must! (Stock one is fragile and incompetent) -grey with 2mm inner bore is a good option.Flexible bed - many options for 256x256 same as many others (cheaper on Aliexpress)And printouts for grills and others such as part cooling clip for safety and long prints is a must if you like tinkering!I tried others such as 2 Auxiliary fans which is a waste of time and money! Do not do it.You could get Opensource Klipper firmware update, BUT stock one is really solid and has updates regularly.You can get better silicon feet than stock ones which are only mentioned to be anti-slip, it does eat up much of the vibrations.Future upgrades I am looking forward to getting a 150x150mm 15mm thich iron plate to weigh down the printer under the bed at the bottom of the cavity as the printer is too light and much the inertia if being transferred rather than disposed off.I want to appreciate and celebrate 🥳 the awesome 3D printer that is both usable and easy to use by far from any other project printers like Creality K1 with an unbeatable price range.I want to shout out to Flashforge for future upgrades and options for UK schools. For inspectors and obligation issues.Latching doors, emergency 🚨 stop button! Filter for intake!This meets 2 levels of safety in the classroom and workshops. And very easy fixes.I have designed and will be releasing the 5Mpro latching for both doors on Thingyverse.The emergency Stop button integration which is basically replacing the switch on the back with a push to break latching button with red and yellow colour. It would be awesome if there was a printable version with a simple limit switch embedded for everyone to tinker!

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.
