5.0 out of 5 stars A great machine

T.P. · 20 July 2025

I have had a FLashforge Adventure 5M for around a year now, and in my opinion it is one of if not the best value FDM printer on the market.I use it mainly for printing scenery for wargaming or model railways and this machine does an excellent job, producing fantastic results time after time.Used with the vanilla Orca slicer prints can be sent wirelessly without any hassle as long as the machine is on the same network.Although I have had a couple of times where during a large complex print the machine has frozen mid print wasting both time and filament. Possibly due to gcode file getting corrupted during transfer who knows.I swapped the supplied bed plate for a smooth pei plate and have had no issues with bed adhesion, just remember to give it a wipe every once in a while with IPA to remove greasy fingerprints.The metal chassis is sturdy and well assembled, be careful how you handle the machine though as it is possible to twist the chassis out of square. Also its worth checking the screws for tightness during periodic maintenance.The machine gets up to temperature quickly, the fans are a little on the noisy side but generally the machine noise blends into the background.The factory location of the spool holder on the back is not ideal if you want to site your printer with its back to a wall, I would suggest your first print is a top mounted spool holder.The touch screen is a touch small for those blessed with sausage fingers, but it offers easy to use controls for filament change, print selection, and various settings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: A 3D Printing Powerhouse

M. · 30 November 2024

I was initially sceptical of the claims when I first heard about the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro.However, after using it for several months, I’m completely sold. This 3D printer is a game-changer, offering a level of speed, precision, and ease of use that I haven’t seen before.Print Quality:The print quality is simply stunning. The Adventurer 5M Pro produces highly detailed prints with smooth surfaces and sharp edges. I've been particularly impressed with the ability to print intricate details, such as fine textures and small features. The printer handles a variety of filament types with ease, from PLA to ABS but so far I have had the best results with PETG which has given me the cleanest prints which are strong and have had very little stringing.Print Speed:This printer is incredibly fast. It can print large models in a fraction of the time it takes on my older 3D printers and better still there is no compromise on quality, either. The prints are still accurate and detailed, even at the highest speeds. I have made some alignment tools and they are so accurate I am using them to align my laser and get brilliant results.Ease of Use:The Adventurer 5M Pro is incredibly user-friendly. The intuitive touchscreen interface makes it easy to set up and operate. The automated calibration system is a lifesaver, ensuring accurate prints every time.Build Quality:The build quality is excellent. The printer is sturdy and well-constructed, and it feels like it will last for years to come. I have not had to use any glue on the build plate and my prints don't lift and I have not had an issue with adhesion.I can print without supports on prints that just wouldn't work on my other printers and some of the overhangs I have printed without supports have left me speechless.There is an issue in that the top door is a little bit scratched from the energy chain at the top but its the only fault in an otherwise perfect build.I love the fact that cleaning out the inside is so simple because the internal base is completely flat so I can just brush out any filament without it getting caught on things.The doors are plastic and not glass but at this price, I couldn't expect glass. The machine is quite and the software is easy to use.Overall:If you're looking for a 3D printer that can handle a wide range of projects, from small prototypes to large-scale models, the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro is an excellent choice. With a nozzle upgrade, I will be able to print with Carbon Fibre and because it's fast, accurate, and easy to use I will be using it for a long time to come. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to take their 3D printing to the next level.

1.0 out of 5 stars fail to assemble it following the instruction

K. · 30 August 2024

There are only very few steps to assembling this unit, which was one of the reeasons why I went for the 5M. Unfortunately, one of these steps seems impossible to do.There is a ribbon cable, which is meant to be inserted into a connector on the monitor, and it seems like the cable might actually be too wide for the slot? I really wouldn't call myself an electronics experts, but am usually reasonably confident whith these kind of assemblies, and this is not my first 3D printer.Looking at the images in the manual, it does seem like maybe there was a design modification at some point, as the way the cable comes out of the printer is different from the illustration.I am now at the point of giving up on this. I have emailed support at Flashforge for help with this, and I will update this review, if they get back to me with useful instructions on how to fix this. Otherwise, I will sadly have to return this unit.UPDATE on this: Both the seller and Flashforge responded to my request quickly. They both sent a link to the same video showing the installation. However, the connector in the video is different from the one on the unit I received. As this did not fix my problem, and because the whole process of having to install the monitor cable in a very user-unfriendly way was really offputting, I have decided to return the printer for a full refund.This might all have been down to bad luck, and to a faulty connector on my unit. The design of this element really did not fill me with confidence though.

Impeccable

Really good printer for what it's worth.

Ordered on November 4th and arrived on December 23rd to Singapore.The printer is fast, got it for quite a good price in comparison to other places I find.Pros- Super Fast- Easy Calibration- Enclosure is a important for certain filaments like ABS- Build feels solid- Door is acrylic and not tempered glass ( good for me because I know I wont break the door by accident)- Extra nozzle with harder tip is provided- The 0.25kg PLA filament provided is really prettyCons- The delivery I got for this printer took me more than a month to SIngapore with lots of CS chat and phone calls.- Printer is loud but can be tuned to go slower and quieter.. maybe like 500mm/s acceleration- Filament can't retract. If you are changing from ABS filament to PLA, please purge with high temps even when loading in the PLA filament- Inconvenient to cut the filament from tool head but you can DIY yourself a filament cutter- Heard the slicers are crap and it's recommended to use the original Orca Slicer which I am. Will recommend- Loading the filament through the tube is at the back.. if you keep your printer in the shelf, it's troublesome- Filament holder is also at the back.. find a filament spool holder that lets you use it on the side- I can't figure out where the belt tensioning is- I can't do auto bed levelling at every print even by changing the Machine Start G-Code unless using a modified klipper which I don't want to as the printer is stable as it is

Perfetta per principianti

L'abbiamo comprata come prima stampante, ci sembrava un buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Non siamo rimasti delusi: è molto semplice da installare, è dotata di collegamento wifi che ti permette di stampare i file direttamente da pc senza doverli salvare su chiavetta. Per quello che ci facciamo va più che bene, la stampa è ottima ed è molto veloce. Consigliata!

Excellent value and super high quality!!! Easy and fun to use and setup!

I was so excited to try 3d printing with me and my son, and daughter. I was looking for something to inspire some ingenuity, creativity, and problem solving, and with that a 3d printer sounded like a great project/hobby, boy was I right! Kids and wife all LOVE IT! I initially was looking for a printer that had great quality prints, and a short learning curve since we haven’t tried this before… this printer did not disappoint!!! It is easy to use and setup out of the box. The instructions are a little sparse but a couple YouTube videos and you will be well on your way. This was self leveling and didn’t require much effort to get going. Simple enough that with some guidance my pre-teen helped with the whole thing. I was impressed by the short learning curve of the software even though it is initially a little intimidating (just watch a couple YouTube videos and you will feel great) and ability to start printing right away. It prints beautifully and is much quieter and quicker than I expected. The features of this compared to many other great printers out there but at a huge value! If you are thinking of 3d printing look no further and buy this one, you will not be disappointed!

This cool

It’s a neat gadget. My son is 12 and loves this thing. Everyday he has something printing.
