Flashforge Adventurer 5M 3D Printer with Flawless First Layer, Auto Leveling and Quick Release Nozzle,Max Speed 600mm/s,Max Acceleration 20000mm/S²,PEI Build Plate,Support PLA/TPU/PETG

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).

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.

So far, so good. I've only given 4 stars as I haven't had it long enough to warrant 5 stars, but I'm extremely happy with the purchase. It arrived on time. With a simple setup and eas of use I will come back and update my review in 1 month, 3 months, 5 months, and then a year. To give you all a better understanding of how it performs in real world. This review doesn't cover the quality, speed, design, or any other factors.
