FLASHFORGE Adventurer 5M 3D Printer, 600mm/s High-Speed, 1 Click Fully Auto Leveling, Upgraded Direct extruder Quick Detachable 280°C Nozzle, Dual-Sided PEI Coating Plate, Print Size 220x220x220mm

I have had it for over a month now and I have gone just one day without printing something. Right out of the box, it works wonderfully and is a lot less hassle than the reviews led me to believe. In fact, I tried tinkering with settings when I thought it needed it a couple of times, when really, all I needed was to calibrate the machine from the app on my phone (or from the device). Very simple! Setup was easy and with OrcaSlicer, prints are very easy!To be fair to some people who have complained, I had to learn to use the calibration option a couple of times when prints didn't look great or they started off not too good. Auto leveling helps a lot too. That's perfectly okay. You can't learn if you don't mess up a few prints. I am still doing that, but my successful prints are far more than the ones that don't turn out. I have also learned that it helps to modify the gcode to print a line before it does it's nozzle cleaning routine, to get the first piece of filament out of the way.As a word of caution, don't use ChatGPT. There isn't enough content out there to draw from and so it will give you bad advice! Printables.com is your friend.It's quiet, clean, and fun. Definitely worth the purchase!

I bought this printer as a 3D printing newbie hoping for something that's both a good entry level printer and has good performance for small-ish electro-mechanical projects. I think I found it.What I like -- It's a refined, finished product. Most 3D printers seem to have a lot of tweakiness about them. I'm using the slicing software Flashforge provides and the preset slicing setups and all have given pretty decent first quality prints- A plate that seems to stick down PLA and PETG prints pretty well- Related to the first point, the software is easy to use, the printer is easy to set up, and the touchscreen utilities easy to use- Wifi downloading of files - no USB drive- The extruder moves in both X and Y directions, and the table in the Z direction. Some printers shift the work left and right. This seems more stable and repeatable- Built in leveling and vibration correction algorithms- Ability to upgrade this to an enclosed printer using an acrylic kit and print-it-yourself brackets- Excellent tech support. Unfortunately my printer failed within the first few weeks - one of the sensors that determines the x-y home went bad. When I emailed support I had a response within an hour. I had replacement parts and full instructions within a few days and I'm back up and running. It's pretty good tech support for a consumer printer.- Readily available parts - replacement print plates, different sized nozzles, etc.What hasn't been so great- The firmware freezes up from time to time- I don't get the manual positioning settings menu. It doesn't always go where I think it should- Kinda dark - wish it had a light in the work area- Early hardware problems - but quickly remedied by great tech support- Touchscreen is kinda sensitive to hitting the right spot on small icons- DIY enclosure kit shown on the website isn't available for purchase yetAll in all I'd buy this one again. It's less expensive than many, easier to use than resin, less experimental and tweaky than other filament printers. The company stands behind their product.

So far so good. Just got it today haven't printed anything but the test piece, but I'm impressed so far. Seems solid, literally took 20 minutes to set it up and get it connected to Wi-Fi. A lot, LOT quieter than my last 3D printer. Test piece was nice. This thing is fast when you want it to be. I'll change this if I have to after a few uses. So far strongly recommend.

This machine does not finish print jobs. What good is a printer that will not print?Purchased the Adventurer 5M during prime day sales. It was easy to set up. The first warning was when it did not print the test cube during set up. The hot end and bed both finished heating and the machine froze. After powering down the machine and restarting it, I was able to print the key chain file without issue.I then connected the machine to WiFi and did a firmware update to 2.7.2 and decided to start printing the DIY enclosure. The files are from their website.The shorter prints work fine. It printed the cable chain and the hinges. The longer prints, however, always freeze. Three times they have just stopped printing.If you plan on printing any print that takes longer than 3 hours DO NOT BUY this machine.
