  • Pretty Darn Good for $250
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
Honestly quite impressed with this printer. I've put a few hundred hours of printing on it so far and it has preformed really well. I got put of 3d printing a few years ago due to a cross country move and decided to get back into it, and this printer has all the same features my $1,000 printer did back then. Now is it perfect? No, its an entry level $250 printer. Its a bit small, cant print many types of plastic, and is a single color printer. But for the money its an amazing starting printer or addition to a hobbyist. Its cheap, prints well, and is simple to use. So far any issues I've had with it were simply because I didn't clean the bed well enough before a print or I messed something up in the slicer. I have yet to have an issues that I can say wasn't my fault. The only big con I've see is the App, flashforge's app is just crap and simply doesnt work. Just use a USB stick or network connect it the old fashioned way. ... show more

  • Amazing printer at an amazing price, but does need some improvements; getting better though
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
This review is for the 5M model, not the Pro model, but they are very similar and a big plus is the ease with which this can be upgraded by the user to the Pro version. It is fully on par with similar offerings from Bambu Labs and Creality. TL;DR - There is no printer less than $600 that I would recommend. This printer is fast, extremely accurate, and trouble-free. Pros: * Blazing fast - about 4 times faster than my Ender5 * Extremely accurate. This is my 4th 3D Printer and the first one that passes various tolerance tests without a lot of tweaking (not that I was ever able to fully get there with other printers). This one passed the nickel test as well as the Tolerance Coin without any tweaks at all. * Plug and play. Only unpacking and plugging in the display, followed by automatic calibration. * Absolutely perfect bed leveling and adhesion. Supposedly application of a glue stick is required for PLA, but I have zero problems across the bed. Parts do pop off at the slightest touch when done, but so far have not come loose during printing. Perhaps taller parts may have problems that required either a gluestick or another bed plate material. * Perfect configuration for OrcaSlicer which is a good choice. * LCD display is easy to read, easy to use, and intuitive. Cons: * It is very loud. Part of it has to do with the high print speed. However, some optimization of fan noise should be investigated. Every online review I have seen speaks of the noise from the motherboard cooling fan when not printing. I do not find that noise to be that bad. What is bad is the two fans for the hotend. One is to cool the hotend and the other is to cool the part when printing PLA. I suspect both the choice of fans as well as excessive shrouding by the plastic enclosure are major contributors. UPDATE: the worst of the noise is actually from the motors and/or motion. This may be part of the high-speed nature. * No wifi support except for their own slicer (which is junk). At this writing, a fork of Orca supposedly supports wifi uploading. Also missing are various Klipper Web UIs. A fix for this may also be in the mix. UPDATE: Wifi is now supported. I can send prints directly from OrcaSlicer now. General UPDATE: After owning the printer for a few months now, and 300 hours of usage, I have upgraded my rating to 5 stars. This printer at $300 to $350 is the absolute best value and extremely reliable. No fussing is necessary to get good results. Recommendations to users: 1. I started having adhesion problems, and the supplied glue stick was worse than no glue stick. I heard that buffing the surface with ScotchBrite pad would fix it, and it did. No glue stick or anything is needed now. Adhesion is great with both PLA & PETG. I also bumped up the heated bed temps to 60 & 70 deg respectively. 2. I found I needed to print PETG at a much higher temperature - 265 degrees in order to maintain a glossy finish (which indicates the correct temp). 3. Print out the spool holder for the upgrade - it makes filament changing much easier. 4. You can add a camera from Flashforge (I did, but haven't installed it yet). 5. A nice upgrade would be a 2nd spool holder (or make the upgraded one into a dual holder) to make color swapping easier. If you don't need the run-out sensor for the 2nd color, just bypass the entire Bowden tube assembly and feed straight into the extruder. 6. For color changes, add M25 to the Change Filament G-Code in OrcaSlicer, then check the Manual Filament Change box under the MultiMaterial Tab (it took me a while to figure that out) in order to prevent the printer from pausing at the start of the print when a color change is inserted. Suggestions to Flashforge: 1. Fix the fan noise for the hotend and motor/motion noise. I am not sure if an upgrade can be made available to existing customers, but that would be nice if you can fix this problem. 2. Incorporate Klipper WebUI into the regular firmware (that can be upgraded OTA). 3. Provide replacement nozzle tips in addition to the current all-in-one nozzle. It would be nice to be able to replace this inexpensive part when needed without buying an entire new nozzle. 4. To the printer screen, add the time remaining and the current layer. 5. Add a filament swapping system. Even a simple two-filament system would be great. ... show more

  • Good Printer, please read warning.
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
Shipping was fast. Install easy. If not there is plenty of support and videos to help someone if lost. WARNING: Do not put filament sample that is shipped with this printer on its holder. Doing so may cause damage to the machine. Ask me how I know. My filament sample was wounded up and I thought I Had it completely untangled and set the filament on its designed location but since this filament doesn’t come on a roll the filament just has a mind of its own. My filament was no longer sliding and ended up becoming too tight for the printer to pull the filament to the nozzle. I may have a damaged product now because of this. We will see. And I will update weather support is helpful or not. I’m a complete amateur on 3D design and the printing process. I did run TinkerCad and was able to print a few things with a little bit of a learning curve. Without YouTube I would have been lost. Best of luck. UPDATED: It has taken time for me to learn how to design things and after a few weeks I put this printer to use. Long story short, this printer has failed me after 7 different prints. I mean actual printers where something takes 30 mins to 3 hours to complete. My failure started when I was printing things back to back trying to fine tone my design and I ended up with a lot of Filament in a large blob pile instead of any sort of design. I tried to clean the nozzle right quick and try my luck again but I only ended up with a smaller blob of plastic. I decided to give the printer a rest and to try my design again but only doing one part on the layout instead of 2 or 3. This didn't go so well. The printer didn't go home or calibrate correctly on its on and when it started to print the nozzle dug into the base plate causing deem scoring marks. I tried to buff them out and the plate is probably going to be ok for what i need out of the printer but that's not the issue now. My issue continues to be filament not coming out when changing filament. More so I cant get the printer to even print a practice cube. I've tried completely cleaning the nozzle, removed the extruder and filament completely and made sure the extruder gears are messed with no missing or broken wheel cogs or teeth and watched the gears spin and feed the filament into the nozzle. My nozzle temp gets up to 280 degrees but still things are not feeding or spray out even the smallest practice designs. I cant even get a line up mark on the base plate. This printer is supposedly suppose to be simple and great for beginners. With my background in fixing robots and machinery this thing is giving me hell. I can only hope flash forge does away with this model. I would love nothing more than my money back or a newer model this thing needs to go in the trash. I had a feeling things would go south after the issue at setup and they did. ... show more

  • Great printer, great value. TLDR This thing is amazing for the money.
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
I run a small business and had been using two printers: an Elegoo resin printer (fantastic printer) for prototypes, and an Creality Ender 3 S1 (below average experience) for tools and fittings. The Adventurer 5M was added to the stable in a fit of rage and desperation incrimentally fueled daily by the Ender 3 S1. This is a review for the Adventurer, but I need to share the behavior I'd been accustomed to from my eldest workhorse, context is important. I acquired the Ender 3 new in box at the end of November 2024. The first, second, third, and fourth things it produced were various sized nests of knotted filament. The plate had no adhesion to speak of, the self leveling feature...didn't, the physical distance the nozzle was from the print bed seemed to have little concern for the numbers indicating the Z-offset. I just figured it was my own inexperience and ineptitude preventing the machine from doing it's best work. Over a time span of roughly 3 months, countless instructional videos step by step articles helped me to triangulate an almost acceptable, almost reliable combination of settings, adjustments, and physical add-ons that would allow the printer to do it's job, most of the time. The best thing about the Creality product, is that it forced me into a level of competence I never would have attained with a reliable printer. It's a lot like owning a cheap Ford: It's just barely good enough to be called a car. Since the Ender 3 was my first foray into 3d printing, I just assumed that's just how printers are: Frustratingly sensitive to EVERYTHING. A few days ago I realized the errors I was dealing with were repeating frequently enough that I knew how to counter most of the behaviors before the wheels came off (The adjustment knobs literally came off 18 hours into a rather large print last month). After steadily escalating jaw clenching frustration was no longer tenable, I tried resetting it to factory spec...which it wouldn't do, it just beeped at me like a petulent child. Fine, I thought, I'll update the firmware. A word to the anyone considering purchasing a Creality product: I would recommend against it. The firmware update process ignores the fact that most people don't wish disassemble their machine to access a port that Creality decided shouldn't be on the OUTSIDE of the machine. Also, the old addage "Keep is Simple, Stupid" isn't terribly popular in that part of China. So, after doing my best to decode the cryptic instructions that later became clear, I loaded the update onto the SD card that came with the printer (which required the card to be reformatted for some reason) and followed the instructions in the helpful readme file. The read me file was one of FIVE files included in the download. I soon discovered that you need to load only ONE of those files to upgrade the control board's firmware. The instructions were originally in Chinese and obviously passed through Google translate a few times to ensure adequate user confusion. The result? My Ender 3 S1 is now a brick. I could feel the veins in my forehead pulsing as I pulled up Amazon. I ordered the Adventurer in an act that I can only describe as "rage quitting" Creality products, never to look back. Boy am I glad I did. The new printer arrived this morning. Well played to the distributor, that was a turn around of less than 12 hours. After some minor assembly and a few downloads, the Adventurer roared to life with a happy little tune. With zero adjustments, no tuning required, no bed leveling, and no drama, the thing just works perfectly. I printed the included benchmark models one after the other with none of the abrasive behaviors Creality built into their "good enough" S1. I then switched the filament to PETG and began running calibration models. Again, perfect performance and holy cow it's fast. It's not a quiet printer, I wouldn't recemmend locating it near a sleeping child, but that's really no concern to me. I'm very pleased with my purchase. ... show more

  • Best printer for the price. No comparison.
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
Phenomenal single spool 3d printer at this price. I bought 1 and then, a week later, a second. Decent workhorse-style printer. It’s not fancy and lacks the bells & whistles that often times cause more problems than benefits. It just prints. Fast & reliably. Ignore the “not smart people” that complain. If you use your head and tune it to your environment in the slicer, it’s incredible. The biggest problem people have with fdm printers is that they don’t educate themselves on how they work. Do that, and you’re golden. You aren’t buying an hp inkjet. This is a precision machine that requires attention & care. ... show more

  • A nearly flawless printer...
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
UPDATE October 31, 2024: I've been running this printer nearly every day since I received it. I've had to replace the nozzle a couple of times (this is not unusual for filament printers - EVERY printer will need nozzle replacements) and I've had a couple of failed prints (again, not unusual - EVERY printer will have a failure from time to time). An investment that I can't recommend enough -- especially if, like me, you live in an area with very humid summers - is a filament drier box. I have one sitting next to the printer and run it every time I'm running a print. This heats and dries the filament and is much safer and easier than trying to dry the filament in your oven or through some other method. The one thing I always dreaded on my Anycubic was running out of filament mid-print. First of all, there was no run-out sensor, so I'd have to keep an eye on the spool an stop the print before it ran out. But more than that, it was always such a chore to get new filament to properly feed into the nozzle. None of this is an issue with the Flashforge. Other than the requirement that you enable the runout sensor in the menu (that I mentioned in the original section of my review), changing out filament is a BREEZE. The sensor is far enough back from the nozzle that the machine stops printing before the filament is fully depleted and the print head is moved to the front of the machine where you can simply and easily feed new filament in. Some of my nitpicks from my original review still apply, but if I could, I'd rate this 4.5 stars. It really is a nearly perfect 3D printer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm not new to 3D printing. I have 3 resin printers and and FDM prior to getting the Flashforge. My FDM was an Anycubic Kobra and it was... fine. Out of the box it worked great, but one frustrating was that no matter how I tweaked the settings, it always left a lot of garbage on the build plate after each print, requiring cleanup before I could print again. Eventually, the printer just failed completely. And by failed, I mean I practically rebuilt the whole print head and still could not get it to work properly. I suspect the motherboard must have gone bad. After quite a bit of research, I settled on the Flashforge Adventurer 5M. Reviews were good, even comparing it to Bambu quality. Let me just say that this thing has been a JOY to use. The wireless transfer of files using Orca Flashforge makes printing so much more convenient. This thing is blindingly fast and, so far, the quality of the prints is noticeably superior to anything I ever got from the Anycubic. I've had zero adhesion issues on the build plate and prints pop right off without leaving anything behind. I had one issue when I first got the printer with it refusing to automatically connect to my WiFi network every time it was turned on, forcing me to go into the settings and manually enter the password again. This honestly nearly made me return the printer out of frustration, but a firmware update was released a few weeks later that has solved the problem. So why only 4 stars instead of 5? For one thing, even though I knew what I was getting into, I still wish the build area was a little bigger. Also, the printer comes with a filament runout sensor. HOWEVER, the sensor is strangely deactivated by default when you get the printer. You have to go into the settings and manually enable it. Odd choice. And speaking of the settings, the touch screen is a little finicky to use and the menu isn't entirely intuitive. Also, filament nozzles, while incredibly simple to replace, are a bit on the pricey side. Even so, this is a solid printer and it's been running great for me for about 5 months now. ... show more

  • Unusable Due to Broken Software Ecosystem and Unreliable Hardware
Model variant: Adventurer 5M
⭐☆☆☆☆ 1 out of 5 stars Unreliable hardware made useless by completely broken software ecosystem I wanted to like this printer, but after extensive time and effort, I cannot recommend it. Unfortunately, this product fails on two levels: unreliable real-world printing performance and a completely broken software and account system that makes normal use nearly impossible. Even at the hardware level, performance has been inconsistent. The printer could not reliably complete basic prints. It failed to successfully print a simple ice cream cone model more than once without errors, air printing, or failed extrusion. A brand-new printer should not struggle with simple test prints. While a few of the preloaded stock files printed normally, this was inconsistent and did not inspire confidence in the machine’s reliability. Unfortunately, the much bigger problem is the software ecosystem, which completely cripples the product. What should have been a simple setup turned into days of troubleshooting across multiple devices and platforms. This is not user error, it is a systemic failure of FlashForge’s software infrastructure. First, FlashPrint, FlashForge’s official Mac slicing software, cannot be installed on current versions of macOS. The installer is blocked as a legacy package and is incompatible with modern Apple systems. This immediately prevents normal use for Mac owners. I was then directed to use Orca-Flashforge instead. On macOS, the software repeatedly launched with a white, frozen, unresponsive interface. Even when it did open, it was unstable and unreliable. The slicer could not be used consistently. Next came the account system. The FlashMaker mobile app, FlashCloud website, and desktop software do not share a synchronized login system. My password worked in the mobile app but failed on the website. The website reported that my user “does not exist” even while I was logged in on my phone. Password resets failed due to undocumented password length limits and inconsistent server behavior. I attempted to create a new account. Activation emails were delayed or never arrived. Even after activation, the account systems remained out of sync across platforms. Then came the printer binding process. The printer would not display a registration code, only a QR code. The website requires a registration code that the printer never provides. Rebinding, unbinding, and even factory resetting the printer did not resolve this. The printer entered a corrupted half-bound state where it could not be properly registered through the web portal. Binding through the phone app sometimes worked, but the printer still failed to appear correctly on the website or desktop software. The ecosystem never synchronized reliably. The result is that: • The printer is unreliable even on basic prints • The Mac slicing software does not work properly • The cloud login system is broken • Account synchronization fails across platforms • Printer binding is unreliable and confusing Because of these failures, I cannot access or print models from online libraries, which defeats the entire purpose of owning a 3D printer. Being limited to a few preloaded files while the software ecosystem is unusable makes this product functionally crippled. A modern 3D printer is only as good as its software ecosystem. In this case, FlashForge’s backend systems and software quality control are so poor that they render the hardware largely useless. I bought a 3D printer, not a multi-day troubleshooting project. Until FlashForge completely rebuilds both their hardware reliability and their Mac software and cloud account infrastructure, I cannot recommend this product to anyone, especially Mac users. ... show more
