I love this thing. It is so fast and quite easy to use. My favorite part is probably the direct drive extruder, second favorites would be the leveling system and speed while still capturing amazing detail. It is my 4th printer. I also have an ender 3, an ender 5 plus and a geeetech mizar and I've been 3d printing for about 3 years now. The flashforge has been on my wishlist for a while and while sometimes it can be glitchy logging into my flashforge account and it seems to be better to use a lan connection than the network printing option, this printer is so much easier to use than any I've worked with so far. I can use filament with this printer, that my other printers have major issues with but it prints practically perfect in the flashforge adventure 5m. (It has also convinced me I need to consider installing direct drive extruders on my enders) I would totally recommend it as a first printer to start with or an upgrade if you're already into 3d printing and can't afford a much better one. I talked my brother into buying one...after he saw mine, it wasn't that difficult to convince him lol. I plan to get another eventually as well. It's priced pretty reasonable, especially with the frequent sales (if it's not on sale, wait, it will go on sale). For the price point and ease of use, it is definitely going to be what I start recommending 3d beginners to start with.

Been toying with the idea of getting a 3D printer. For what purpose...who knows. Just something to play around with.Price was a steal during the holiday season, so I figured why not. Low investment.First 3D printer I have owned or even used.Set-up of the unit was easy. Came with a spool of red PLA and some pre-loaded print files.Setting up the software was a bit challenging. Could not get the "app" to work on my phone. Did get the software set-up on my PC after a bit of a struggle.But, once it was up and running, easy to use.You will probably need additonal sources of information to get started printing, as no resources included with the printer. But, that information is easy enough to find online.It is very fast. And loud. But, the prints look great.Word of caution: when installing the LCD screen during initial assembly, the flat cable that plugs into the screen seems very flimsy and the manual is not clear on the orientation of the cable into the screen. the picture in the quick start manual appears to show the cable getting installed one way, but I had to flip it around to get the screen working. The connector is pretty cheesy as well.Overall, happy with the purchase. this printer will get me through the learning curve.And hell, it's just fun to print stuff. :)

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.

Muy buena impresora aunque hay que conocer el producto que se adquiere. Es una impresora cerrada y sencilla centrada en la conectividad y en poder imprimir con gran facilidad sin tener que destinar tiempo en montaje, calibración y ajustes.Ahí os dejo una recopilación de mis impresiones:PROS:- Plug and play. No tardas ni 5 minutos desde que la sacas de la caja hasta que puedes comenzar a imprimir la prueba.- Buena calidad de impresión tanto en PLA como en ABS. Aunque no es super rápida, tienen una velocidad correcta.- Rápido nivelado en 9 puntos.- Es cerrada, con lo que eliminamos corrientes de aire y mejoramos la temperatura ambiental de impresión (Importante para el ABS)- Muy buena conectividad, aunque con algunos problemas en el uso.CONTRAS:- Reducido volumen de impresión: 150x150x150 mm- Solo acepta en el soporte bobinas de 250g o 500g, las cuales tienen un mayor precio/gramo, aunque se pueden encontrar fácilmente soluciones a este problema- Software cerrado de Slicing, aunque funciona muy bien y ofrece suficientes opciones de configuración- IMPORTANTE: No admite entrada por USB con la Cámara encendida, por lo que hay que apagarla en el menú de ajustes para poder añadir archivos por USB. Parece una limitación de Hardware.- Cámara tiene, pero con una calidad bastante justita. Sirve para ver que todo va bien y ya, pero por el precio que tiene es algo más que comprensible.

Choisi pour son caractère "plug & play", je n'ai pas été déçu de ce côté là. Simplement branchée puis étalonnée facilement (l'imprimante prend 9 points sur la plateforme que l'utilisateur doit ajuster via l'écran tactile. Personnellement j'ai étalonné à l'aide d'une feuille de papier : elle doit toucher la tête d'impression mais quand même pouvoir glisser sur la plateforme). J'ai de suite fait imprimer le modèle de cube déjà présent dans la mémoire. J'ai été agréablement surpris du résultat, aussi bien que l'on est en droit de l'attendre d'une imprimante 3D filaire bien réglée.Après quelques essais, l'impression a l'air fiable, sur les petites pièces que j'ai imprimé jusqu'à présent. Ce qui nous amène à la petite contrainte de ce modèle : elle ne peut imprimer que des pièces de 150x150x150 mm. Ce n'est pas forcément gênant (en tout cas ça ne l'est pas pour moi - je l'ai achetée en connaissance de cause) mais à prendre en compte.En revanche, la chauffe est très rapide, l'imprimante est assez silencieuse (pour une imprimante 3D), si ce n'est ces horribles bips au démarrage de l'imprimante et à la fin d'une impression, qui heureusement sont désactivables via le menu.Autre petit défaut, l'imprimante n'a jamais réussi à se connecter à mon réseau wifi (mais mon code wifi compliqué en est peut être la cause), donc je l'ai branchée en filaire.Enfin, le logiciel d'impression 3D dédié FlashPrint est tout à fait suffisant, il est assez intuitif. Il permet peut être un peu moins de finesse de réglage que d'autres logiciels, mais ceux-ci sont alors plus complexes. A choisir en fonction des besoins. Je veux quelque chose de "plug & play" donc FlashPrint me convient. Et avec FlashPrint, l'envoi d'impression 3D via le réseau est a priori fiable et rapide.Cette imprimante répond globalement à mes attentes, je la recommande donc à ceux qui comme moi sont novices dans le milieu de l'impression 3D. Au final, la seule condition pour l'acquérir est de savoir dessiner en 3D... élémentaire, mais il convient de le rappeler tout de même.
