Printer has been great so far. Bought for my 12 year old son for Christmas since he has been asking about a 3d printer. This is the first one I’ve seen in person and we have zero experience with 3d printing. I set it up and learned how to use it before showing my son. Initial setup was simple. Very well packed. Printed a block as a first print without any issue. Printed a few small items downloaded from makerworld using the Flashforge software. They came out alright. A few had some significant stringing and we had some detached and failed prints. Two weeks ago we switched to using Orca. The difference has been day and night. The prints look better and the only failures were my fault (wrong preset for PETG, misplaced supports, etc). We’ve been having a lot of fun printing toys and some usable items. Playing around with tinkercad now so we can’t print our own items rather than downloaded stl files. I agonized over which printer to buy as a beginner that we wouldn’t outgrow too fast. I would recommend the adventurer 5m to everyone.

This is an interesting printer. I purchased it because I wanted to print abrasives and I wanted a quick change hot end that is not available on my other 3d printer, a Qidi X-Plus-3. First things first, the setup was not great. The printer has long lags between actions and did not always complete them w/o my having to press the screen. This was very odd-the behavior was that it would complete bed leveling, input shaping and preheating, would show complete but not progress to the next step in the initial setup. And when I tried to have the machine perform the calibration test print it never did. I tried four times and eventually gave up. No idea why it refused to complete the test print. I did just skip it and printed the pointer as a calibration test. And this is where things improved. It was perfect! I printed the PLA object with no bed adhesive and it came out flawlessly!. Not only that I noticed that the presets in the FlashPrint5 software were different for temperature than that what the FlashForge PLA recommended. The presets are 225C for the extruder and 50C for the bed. If you look at the FF PLA it is 220C extruder and 60C bed. This was quite interesting but it worked perfectly. I then printed the PLA with the enclosure completely closed-a seeming no no for PLA. But guess what, another excellent print-not perfect but very close. So close I would be fine with it. But then I moved on to ABS-GF. Not only that but from another brand (Qidi). The defaults were for FF ABS (250C extruder, 105C bed). This required loading the ABS-GF (easy-peasy) and changing the hotend (less that 15 seconds not including getting the .6 nozzle out of the foil bag), doing a purge (the .6mm nozzle was tested with PLA-hmmmm....) and then slice and print. Perfect print with no adhesive used and an unheated enclosure/chamber in my cool basement. Wow! The FP5 slicer is appears to be a Prusa fork and it works well and has some cool features like being able to save project by default as .stl and not 3mf (the Qidi default) and as .fpp . Very useful. Additionally, the printer is light in weight, I was able to take it to the basement and lift it onto the worktable by myself easily. It was easy to get the packing material out (I've seen YouTube'ers struggle with this, no idea why) and the toolkit includes a set of snips for things like supports or opening foil bags. Very helpful. Also interesting the FP5 slicer printed files that my Qidi slicer requires supports for w/o supports and the prints were, as stated perfect! That is very interesting and cool!. And now onto the second reason I bought this-the hepa/activated carbon filter system. I will be printing abrasives and print in my house, not the garage. I needed to be able to ensure that I can limit the VOC's released. I have a box filter and wanted more protection. This printer has it. There are two filters. And the ability to control them (auto-selecting, based on the type of filament, from w/in FP5) and it worked great! So what are some cons-small print bed, strange behaving setup, not filament fry box included. I won't mention lack of heated chamber because it did not make a difference-there was zero curling or warping on the ABS part-none! Not a bit!. And w/o adhesive! This is going to make me do more tuning of the Qidi as a comparison. and I will be switching out the Qidi hot end (included with printer) and run abrasives on it for comparison. But, is this a "kiddie/noob" printer? Nope. This is definitely rightly aligned as prosumer. The filter system is better than that on BambuLabs until you get to their commercial unit. And better than Qidi. Only the Snapmaker's have an easier hotend change out from what I can see. If you have Amazon Prime like me, I got an extra $100 off when I bought it! An absolute bargain!. Oh and one other thing-the inside of the chamber does not have any attached parts that things can fall into (looking at you Qidi) so it is easy to keep clean and clear of debris. Here's the thing-Flashforge, if you make this exact same 3d printer with a minimum 300mmx300mm300mm minimum print volume. And I mean literally change nothing else about this printer, I will be buying it even though for production purposes I want to get an IDEX 3d printer. This is just that good overall. Highly recommended.

This was my first 3d printer, when I got it everything seemed to work perfectly. Easy to use, great prints made about a two dozen successful prints.Then it started intermittently skipping layers in two subsequent prints, after doing a nozzle check and trying a third time the extruder simply failed to heat up at all. It actually stopped reading any temperature.Luckily t was within the return period so I sent it back and thinking it was just luck of the draw (got a bad one) and I ordered another.This one also worked great for the first dozen or so prints, then it started making a grinding noise that seemed to be coming from the extruder. The grinding noise was just at the beginning for 20 seconds then it would stop and the print would proceed as normal. Did another nozzle check and once again that seemed fine. I was not 100% sure what this grinding was from so I printed a couple more items. The first one came out fine, but on the second attempt it missed a bunch of lines about halfway through the print and ended up just making a ball of plastic string on the print bed. A third and subsequent attempt and it again seemed to be going ok at first, but then it missed on parts of the print and after letting it go for a few more minutes it eventually pulled the entire print off the build plate somehow (when I wasn't watching). Also the grinding noise lasted longer on the last attempt, for a two or three minutes not just within the first twenty seconds or so at the beginning.Looking at youtube videos I saw someone fix the "grinding" noise by taking apart the extruder and removing bits of plastic (or some kind of foreign debris) from the gears. He concluded the pieces of foreign debris was from the manufacturing process. Since I don't want to do that only find out it's possibly some other issue and this second one is also within the Amazon return period, I'm returning it as well and will be trying a different brand.

Esta ha sido mi primera experiencia con la impresión 3D, no tenía absolutamente ningún conocimiento y compré esta impresora porque mis hijos la pidieron como regalo, basándome un poco en las buenas críticas, las caracteristicas y el precio.Y la verdad es que hasta ahora muy contento, el funcionamiento es muy sencillo y las piezas que saca son de una calidad aceptable (al menos para mí, que lo uso para hacer figuritas para mis hijos y alguna utilidad como un porta lápices)La única pega que se le podría poner es que acepta en su compartimento solo bobinas de filamento de medio kilo, pero puedes usar también las de 1 kg si imprimes un soporte para el rollo (puedes imprimir alguno de los que se encuentran por ahí, o puedes enviar un mail al fabricante y te mandan los archivos para que te imprimas uno sencillo, que es lo que hice yo)También quizás que el manual que te viene en la caja no te explica algunas cosas que considero esenciales (sobre todo si no tienes ni idea), y tienes que ir a la web a descargarte el manual completoEn definitiva, si estás empezando en esto de la impresión 3D, es una muy buena opción

Apres des test .... ok pas de problème pour l'instant

My first 3D printer and I'm very happy with it. For less than $500 it's hard to wrong with this printer. Yes, it's an older model but does everything I need it to do. The picture of my first serious project with it doesn't do it justice as I made a design mistake. The face was printed face down against the raft so the back side is smooth but the front is a little rough.Good: - Very little setup: worked right out of the box though I did need to run through a calibration for some larger prints. - Like that it is fully enclosed - Flashforge's slicer is very easy to use. - Great beginner's machine - Works with all the Flashforge nozzlesNot so Good: - Build volume (150x150x150) is a little limiting - Prints over 4" have required a raft which is a little wasteful. I had a couple failures (even using a glue stick for better bed adhesion.) I probably just need to tweak some settings but haven't had the patience to go through the process yet. - I'm mainly using 1KG filament spools so I had to create an external mount to hold them. - Only comes with the one nozzle - Filament feeder can be pretty noisy (clicking). I've seen some ways to fix this but haven't had a chance to try them out. - Being limited to Flashforge nozzles

Der Pinter verfügt über eine beheizte Bauplattform und einen geschlossenen Bauraum; was mir sehr wichtig war. Die Druckergebnisse sind für einen Drucker dieser Preisklasse absolut hervorragend. Ich bin total zufrieden und selbst nach 2Jahren hat sich daran nichts geändert. Gerade für 3D Printer Anfänger eine absolute Kaufempfehlung. Das Material kaufe ich direkt vom Hersteller... auch wenn es alternative Angebote gibt...

🔬test de cette imprimante 3D FlashforgeJe suis agréablement surpris par cette imprimante 3D.Elle est très simple d'utilisation, une fois déballé, on contrôle rapidement la bonne hauteur de la buse et du plateau.On paramètre le wifi.On installe le logiciel livré avec "flashprint" sur le Pc ou mac, pour pouvoir transférer votre objet 3D à envoyer à l'imprimante et vous voilà déjà en train de lancer votre première impression 3D.J'ai testé en premier d'imprimer le cube de calibration, il est sorti avec une très bonne qualité.J'ai ensuite essayé le "benchy" (bateau rose) et la tour pour vérifier que l'imprimante est bien calibré. Le résultat et plutôt intéressant , sans avoir à faire de réglages.Elle a donc cette avantage de ne pas avoir a faire des tas de réglages, ou maintenance pour pouvoir l'utiliser, c'est un peu comme une plug and play.A noté elle est livré avec bobine de filament compatible en PLA, vous pourrez ensuite choisir d'autres couleurs ou matières.Ici vous n'aurez pas à sortir les tournevis ou autres, la buse et un bloc complet qui ce change en quelques minutes.Je la trouve parfaitement adapté pour des petits projets, pour des impressions rapide, le format du plateau reste tout fois limité.J'apprécie la sécurité de cette imprimante, qui est dans une box fermé. De plus ça facilitera l'utilisation des filaments en PETG, ABS qui sont pas toujours simple à utiliser si on ne le fait pas dans une endroit sans courant d'air.💰 Est-il selon moi un bon rapport qualité prix ?👌OUI c'est bien pour débuter et apprendre les basique de l'impression 3D.🌟Si vous avez aimé mon test, mon commentaire, un petit clic sur "commentaire utile" (c’est encourageant) 🌟Merci😽
