Thank you! I just bought this printer and this was very helpful.

[JimGray]

I have the Adventurer 4 and love it. It is my first and only 3d printer so I am not a super expert but it gets the job done for me.

[CipDV]

For me it is very important to know if Adventurer 4 supports the adjustment of the part cooling fan. I had a lot of problems with Adventurer 3 and had to resort to various diy solutions on this problem.

[KevinBein]

I am still a 3D printing noob and just got a FF AD3 last month and it has been amazing. But I am already excited about the possibilities with this new larger Adventurer.

[Masterchief-mvif]

Can I close the door while printing or will it then get too hot for printing in the printer?

Kann ich die Türe während des druckens schliessen oder wird dass dann im Drucker zu heiss für den Druck ?

[PKLE]

i loved my printer that i got about 6 months ago but recently my prints have gone crap.. and i'm struggling to know what slicer settings to change to troubleshoot.. do you have any videos i could refer to?

[Zcahm]

Does this have a manual filament release on the extruder so you can squeeze a clip and pull the filament out?

[haayzac]

Also i hope they come out with a adventure 4 with two extruders, not gonna lie that would be sick to see

[dylanspademedia]

Awesome I hope my preorder comes soon 😊

We are between the creator pro 2 and the adventurer 4 for my 12 year old to start a business on Etsy. He’s hooked after some exposure at school to 3d printing. We think being able to print in 2 colors with creator 2 pro might make it easier to create things that are more sellable but the quality of the adventurer 4 seems higher. What do you think?

Would you recommend this over a Prusa Mk3? The Prusa has a direct drive extruderand it seems like the firmware is a bit better but it's missing an enclosure, other than that they seem very similar.

[chatbear]

Maybe print some foam spacers for the door to decrease if not stop that draft. Is there is a way to interface with the USB port to gain access to the units temperature control and a temperature sensor linked to a Raspberry Pi(with Wifi) to control the extrusion temp? If not, can the Wifi be utilized in a similar manner maybe via a Firmware update. Keep in mind I am not a Tech-pert just in case that was not apparent.

I'm looking for a 3D Printer to just print armor pieces specifically for 1/6 scale figures such as Hot Toys and Sideshow. Would this be suitable? Or could i just do this with a smaller 3D Printer?

[tookmyhandle]

How strong is the smell coming from the printer? Is the exhaust filtered? I'm thinking about having a printer in my living space.

[PhilipBlank]

Incredible review, super thorough! Quick question, at 1:48 you said the hot head will prevent the use of TPU and such, but is that a hard "can't" or more of a "not reliably"? Saw your comment below on the direct drive but I really love the package of the ADV 4, just need it to do TPU.

[kristinakilby]

Just use paint tape on the door. To seal the environment.

[haayzac]

hello im currently wanting to preorder/buy the adventure 4 but im in Australia is there an Australian version of the site or somewhere else to buy the adventure 4 from??? ( PLEASE REPLY ASAP)

[justingortner]

Would you be able to reply here and let me know the height, width, and depth of this (maximum of each dimension)? I need to know whether this will fit in a space before I order and I don’t trust the company specs.

Que Butthead laugh @5:56 LOVE IT 😅 #90s_kid

The 4 is pretty buggy if it isn't working properly when it arrives at your door. And kinda like an apple computer they don't want you to getting in or working on their machines making it even more difficult when running into even a minor issue. At least an apple store is in almost ever city on the planet when I need help. I assume they only help in China if that. for the price I do think prints should come out looking better. Adhesive is too strong at first and not strong enough after the first day. Now only hairspray is saving the print from worping or just being completely pushed off my the nossle while printing. But I've only had mine a month but have 100s of hrs of failed prints but I'll credit that up to bad firmware but I honestly don't know why it won't print and they dont help. I have 100s of emails literally with 3 aftersales reps at flash forge and I've gotten no where. Ironically the only prints I got done were a couple small upgrades for my ender 3 pro I got for 100 new. It still doesn't work and after over a month of wasted time I wish I could just give 1000$ to have my time back and to have never even heard of flash forge. This has to be a joke but no one's laughing. Limited warranty claims seem non-existent. best help I got was beta firmware to try but it never helped and I've had the same issue since I got it. The firmware fixed the unleveling issue mostly but it always stops printing after about a hr no matter what. Not being able to finish one print. I did luckily get extruder knob and slips for ender 3 printed but I'm sure it would of done a better job than the 4. I just didn't want to wait and needed small things to test but I'm kinda sick of dealing with it since time is just as costly and I've lost easily 200 hrs just in trying to fix it. The emails don't come as frequently as when I first asked for help so I don't assume I'm going to get any. I should of just googled the reviews. First thing that pops up is great hardware with buggy software. I looked on YouTube but every review is by someone that had the printer gifted to them specifically for review here. I think I'm going to be the first one that bought it for what I can tell to review. Wasted grand on my first venture I'd say. Not sure what to even do with it now it's so big it like an oven sized paper weight. Anyone want a brand new one for half off? I'll even pay for shipping! Lol but really
