Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro Full Review

I'm reviewing the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro that hit a highly competitive market with a punch. Is it enough to conquer? Find out what I think about this machine that I've had for a couple of months now.

Remember to pick up the $25 camera kit to make the non-pro 5M extremely competitive.

Your advice about washing the plate plus upgrading the firmware did wonders for me. After trying several times to print with glue and without, I was rather frustrated until I came across your channel. I saw your comment about washing the plate and I said "why not?". As I was washing it, a black oily substance came off the plate, and since then, all my builds stick nicely. Thank you!

I own TWO of these printers.. one with over 300 hours now and the other with 260 hours.. both printers have performed BEAUTIFULLY! I have had ZERO issues OR break downs.. I bought the smooth build plates for my machines as well as I still use the original textured plates for PETG and TPU.. everything else I print on the smooth plates as adhesion is insanely good.

The only small issues Iv had so far is when updating my machines to the latest firmware.. as I update them right when the update comes out and both times there was some issues I had to deal with until FlashForge fixed it.. so don’t update as soon as you get the message.. rather wait a week or so before updating the firmware when it asks you to and you should be all set there.

I have printed just about every type of material out there with these printers, ABS, TPU, Nylon, PLA, ASA, Carbon fiber PLA + PETG, regular PETG, and even Silk.. this printer on the stock settings has printed every one of them with out issue!!

With TPU I print on the standard PLA setting and I turn retraction down a bit.. prints perfect every time and super fast.

For PLA the only setting I keep changed is the bed temp.. they have it set too low.. set it to 60c and you’ll be good.

Best printers Iv ever owned and blows all my friends out of the water with reliability and print quality!

Flashforge just released Klipper firmware for the 5M Pro!

[valdemar]

I have the regular 5m and it has been flawless out ofv the box. I really hope the release a larger version of it!!!

Hello! I Love the review. I just got the 5M version. I had the same exact adhesion issues, and other glues did not fix it as well!

[rajantechie]

I've had 0 issues so far, new firmware update fixes adhesion issue, no glue needed

I've had the first FF Finder back in the day. Back then I was already impressed by the print quality and ease of use for the price. It's going strong till today. Sadly the Finder can only really print PLA otherwise it would probably have been used even more. This seems like a good replacement for it.

Hello there, thank you for the review. I wonder how loud is the printer when printing PLA? Open/close the lid?

Hi, firstly I want to say that it's a great video you made with very useful information about the 5M Pro.
I have an unrelated question to this print but I'm wondering where I can get the .stl files for the Formula 1 car you have in this video, is it possible to buy or download these .stl files

I purchased, and when I Printed the boat it was perfect. When I printed the ice cream cone, it left burn swirls on the top of the acrylic door.
I’m trying to reach the company, but they have not responded for 2 weeks. I have pictures. Do I have to keep the top open so it doesn’t do that?

I got a question, I'm planning on buying my very first 3d printer and I'm going for an fdm type like this. Does these enclosed printers usable in a basement and not worry about the smell and fumes? Or do I have to vent it out?

[Mralan]

I want to upgrade to this printer so bad i really like it. but i will only upgrade if they are planning to make a mult-color thing like bambu lab has for the X1 .

[aarongarrison]

Could I use only an iPad to run this printer?

[MultiMatteh]

could changing z offset to 0.12 scratch bed?

[webpro]

the problem is that these nozzle are very expensive compared to other printers

[TechnologyGuy]

Woah stop with the cuts man! Very hard to listen to you with a cut every 5 seconds

[ibrahimkocaalioglu]

I have it for a month and scap it already. Its nozzle clogs so often and it broke its expensive nozzle. Watch out of this product. 👎
