Still to this day Its a solid printer! After my1200hours of printer I have updated and upgraded only minor things. Its 1500 hours and still running. I also got 2 for my school as D&T teacher and business account get it cheaper £330 it was and £305 now with the discounted price. I have updated the belt with I hated but it doesn't make much of a difference! I used to think its going to be a headache but it was 20min with NO disassembly required! I kid you not. As a High speed printer it’s very fast and it has a lot of torque! So the standard Belt was made to break! The printer will outlive the belt. Fastest way to change the belt is to undo X first from both sides of the printhead, glue one side to the new belt, then just pull through and feed the new one in place. Its that easy and its only 1.5/1.3meters of belt required for X and same goes for Y axes. Printable have a good 5M/5MPro communities as well as Thingyverse. Fot new tool head cooler and such. I advise you to go on Alibaba for part cooling fan if you break it like me or for toolhead fan. Its only £2/£3 each on their and no where to be found on Amazon or Temu. It works a charm. The top lid extension is a must! (You now if you know) Extended Bowden tube and replacement is a must! (Stock one is fragile and incompetent) -grey with 2mm inner bore is a good option. Flexible bed - many options for 256x256 same as many others (cheaper on Aliexpress) And printouts for grills and others such as part cooling clip for safety and long prints is a must if you like tinkering! I tried others such as 2 Auxiliary fans which is a waste of time and money! Do not do it. You could get Opensource Klipper firmware update, BUT stock one is really solid and has updates regularly. You can get better silicon feet than stock ones which are only mentioned to be anti-slip, it does eat up much of the vibrations. Future upgrades I am looking forward to getting a 150x150mm 15mm thich iron plate to weigh down the printer under the bed at the bottom of the cavity as the printer is too light and much the inertia if being transferred rather than disposed off. I want to appreciate and celebrate 🥳 the awesome 3D printer that is both usable and easy to use by far from any other project printers like Creality K1 with an unbeatable price range. I want to shout out to Flashforge for future upgrades and options for UK schools. For inspectors and obligation issues. Latching doors, emergency 🚨 stop button! Filter for intake! This meets 2 levels of safety in the classroom and workshops. And very easy fixes. I have designed and will be releasing the 5Mpro latching for both doors on Thingyverse. The emergency Stop button integration which is basically replacing the switch on the back with a push to break latching button with red and yellow colour. It would be awesome if there was a printable version with a simple limit switch embedded for everyone to tinker!

Excellent printer. This is my 4th printer (previously had Voxelab Quila, Ender 3, Ender 3 pro). Took me around 30mins to get is all out of box and built ready to power on. Device runs some checks and levels itself straight away. Set up my laptop & phone to send prints and monitor the device when off-site. Sent a print to the device and set it to around 400m/s speed. It prints very fast, very accurate, very good quality. This is the upgrade that I was hoping for. My previous printers had manual bed leveling adjustment with sensors to pickup any inconsistencys. This print 100% levels the bed WITHOUT any user interaction required. No turning of knobs until its right. Press a button and bam it was levelled within 2mins and when I say levelled I mean PERFECTLY LEVELLED. Sent a print that would normally take 8hrs on my other printers, it completed it at half speed in 3hr29min and with MUCH better quality (even on standard quality in the slicer). This is the perfect printer for a new user as there is alot less faffing about. I am well impressed with the build quality, speed, quality of print with minimal effort. Kudos to Flash Forge for this one!!! Brilliant.

I don't have many regrets on life but buying this printer is one. I've had it for nearly a year and still haven't managed to print any thing off other than the preset items on the screen which it came with. I have had 2 IT technicians to help get it set up and working .The first one manage to connect it to my internet and laptop by remotely logging into my computer .This took them one and a half hours .Then it still didn't print. I've paid for another IT person to come today and they have spent a further hour and a quarter trying to get the laptop or app talking to the printer to get it to print.One item started to print but came off the printing plate and fell apart after the IT guy had left. I am now going to have to ring up tomorrow to get more advise as there are all sorts of issues showing on the screen about the reason it can't print. You will get no help from the manufacturer as they are in china and will send you to their website.If you are not IT trained DO NOT BUY THIS PRINTER .The software and the ability to use it are hell. I wanted a printer for my 10 year old to be able to select a gadget and press print .Nothing could be further from this.This printer is not for a domestic home

Well I must say this thing is amazing. I have been 3d printing for many years starting with an Ender 3, then a Sunlu s8, finally a Biqu B1, compared to them this thing is in a league of it's own, very fast, great quality and colour changing too. I advise the first print sohould be a poop bucket for the back as it poops a lot! I was not looking forward to learning a new slicer, but it was very easy and plenty of online guides. I would say a great printer for beginners and advanced alike, the only thing I would say is a bigger build volume would be handy. One thing to consider too, is it needed a firmware update to connect to slicer and phone app. but easily done. No more moving SD cards from PC to printer, and a 3hr print in PETG on my last printer now takes 41 mins, and quality is far better. The only problems I have had so far are due to using an old (damp filament) so my own fault! If you are thinking about it, buy it while it's on offer! Great machine ( a little noisy ) but just put it somewhere away from telly, lol

I've put a couple hundred hours into this printer now and I can say I'm incredibly impressed. The print quality is great for my purposes and the colour change feature is excellent. My previous printer was an xyz so this is a huge step up and in my opinion perfect for hobbyists who are looking for good cost vs capabilities I have only used PLA filament and PETG, so I cant speak to how it handles other filaments. There was a small set up issue regarding updating the printer software that had to be solved with an external usb, so I would recommend googling that if you have an issue.

Great product was a bit scared to use at first, but once I started printed using it I realised that it was really easy to use and now I can't stop looking for things to print like Model kits, scenery/terrain, storage options, seasonal decorations or just useful bits. The only downsides in my opinion is the software as it doesn't always connect to my pc so be patient with it and it can be noisy so keep that in mind for its placement, Print quality is great and you can buy different size nozzles to refine the quality and overall I have really really enjoyed using this printer.

3 Months update, Machine is still doing fantastically well, very rare fail print and mostly user error. Plenty of aftermarket accessories like built plate and nozzles. Pair it with a Sunlu S4 and it is almost as good as Bambu AMS. So Far a few hundred hours non stop printing and happy to buy another one to make long project faster. I have been using the Flashforge Adventurer 5X for a wide mix of practical workshop parts and decorative multi colour models and it has been a very enjoyable machine to own. Out of the box setup takes around 30 to 45 minutes and after that it is ready to print. The process is well guided and nothing feels confusing even if you are not coming from another Flashforge printer. Full auto levelling works reliably and saves a lot of time. For PLA and PETG there is no need for an enclosure at all. Prints stick well and come out clean and consistent. Flashforge provides a very detailed wiki with clear guides and explanations and that makes learning the printer much easier. From first power on to slicing and printing everything you need is documented clearly and it helps you gain confidence quickly. Files from Makerworld and other STL sharing websites work well and most designs slice without issues in the Flashforge Orca slicer. Some filament is included with the printer which is useful for testing and for the sample prints stored in the internal memory. It does not last long but it is enough to get familiar with the machine and confirm everything is working as expected. Multi colour printing is simple once all four filament ports are loaded. The system handles colour changes automatically. It is worth knowing that multi colour prints take a long time because each layer requires filament changes and this also creates a lot of waste material. That is simply how this system works. There are advanced modifications like Zmod but they require strong software and firmware knowledge and are not realistic for most users. I printed a taller enclosure myself using PETG and files found online. This was mainly to stop the tubes rubbing on the top lid and it worked perfectly. I also added the official camera (not included) which allows monitoring from a phone. The live view is quite laggy and the recorded timelapse quality is not great but it is usable and helpful for checking long prints. Print speed is very impressive and once dialled in it is comparable with the Bambu Lab P2S. Print quality is excellent with smooth walls and accurate dimensions. Hotend changes are straightforward but not tool free as two screws and a small plastic block must be removed. I have used inexpensive aftermarket hotends in sizes 0.25 0.6 and 0.8 and all have worked reliably. Overall this printer offers outstanding performance and flexibility and represents super good value for money for anyone wanting fast dependable multi colour printing at home.

Prints are quite good when it works. Which isn't very often. 1 successful print on the day I received the machine, after that and in quick succession we had; The head crashing into the print - even printing at considerably reduced speeed. Screen freezing - the touch screen, by the way, is less responsive than a corpse in full rigor. No way to resume after pausing a print (seriously?) Inability to control Z offset properly. Inability to control print speed simply and easily. Actually, it's not possible to control anything simply and easily. Right, they are the material reasons why it's going back to Amazon tomorrow. Other than that; The Orca software would drive most noobs to insanity. I'm quite experienced with 3D printing and was quite minded to take a sledge hammer ot it. The other offered software is so basic as to be quite silly. Settings applied in the software to control the printing process mostly seem to be completely ignored by the printer. This is just another case of a shoddy product which the provider expects you to re-engineer so it works properly. I very much doubt I will buy another Flashforge product in the foreseeable future. I've actually wanted one of these for a while. Very dissappointed indeed. CoreXY printers should produce better quality prints and be very reliable, this one is neither and I am far from the only person experiencing these exact issues, I guess I'm lucky I didn't get all the other issues as well. Buy something useful instead, start with a nice bottle of wine, it'll make you feel better. A budget bed slinger is far more likely to produce a decent print. *Edit - the following day.* After the courier lied about failing to collect the return (don't even ask), Amazon refunded me and said I can keep the failed printer. Which actually made my day as I love tinkering. I then spent several hours trying to make it at least a bit useful. That was a total fail and I'm currently looking for a very high building I can drop it safely from the top of. Sadly the tinkering was largely a fail. :-( If you're quite determined to give yourself a stress related disease, you can at least alleviate your symptoms slightly, some very nice person has created a profile for Cura, it seems to work fine - so long as you ignore all the other issues. Google 'using cura with flashforge adventurer 5' (other search engines may still be available.) Have fun.

Después de probarla un tiempo puedo decir que va genial y hace unos trabajos muy buenos

Genial le fil rentre tout seul jusqu’a la buse et ressort tou seul, l’impression est de qualité j’avais une finder3 avant elle est tombé en panne pris l’adventurer4 pro a la place et franchement aucun regret elle vaut bien le prix afficher

Ich bin von dem Drucke echt begeistert. Sehr gute Druckergebnisse out-of-the-box sofort beim 1. Druck. Was man natürlich wissen muss und auch nicht unterschätzen darf: Wenn man mehrfarbig druckt und viele Farbwechsel hat, dann dauert es (45-60 Sekunden je Farbwechsel) und der Abfall der entsteht ist nicht zu unterschätzen. Ab bei 10EUR / 1 KG PLA muss man schon seht viel farbig drucken damit sich ein IDEX-Drucker lohnt. Was man aber als eines der 1. Druckprojekte mit einplanen muss (leider ist genau soetwas nicht als "Testprojekt" dabei bzw. ein passendes Plastikteil hätte der Hersteller mit dabei packen können): Eine sog. "Poop-Box" zum Auffangen des Abfalls (hinter dem Drucker).

Después de 1 año con ella he de decir que fue todo un acierto, sin tener la idea que tengo hoy día me puse a imprimir sin necesidad de tener unos conocimientos grandes. Actualmente no voy a hablar de características técnicas de esta impresora 3d simplemente porque hay mil y una reviews de ella, solo voy a hablar de mi experiencia como usuario inexperto en el momento de la compra y si ha tenido fallos garrafales de impresora de poca calidad. Lo primero y más importante no necesitas conocimientos de experto para poner a funcionar esta impresora, en mi caso fue, unboxing del producto, enchufar, calibraciones (automáticas), configurar su conexión, cargar filamento (por supuesto empecé con lo fácil el PLA) mandar la pieza y recibir el resultado. La interfaz de la pantalla se muestra muy simple, con varias opciones típicas de estas impresoras, todo muy intuitivo, como dije anteriormente preparado para personas que no tienen idea de impresión 3d. La máquina se ve robusta, por mi parte bien embalada y protegida, en cuánto la saqué de su empaque note calidad y pensé que como era posible, por el precio que pagué, que me pareció bastante competitivo con respecto a sus contrincantes, podía tener esa calidad. Como dije antes a partir de ahí todo fue empezar a imprimir (plug&play). Como construcción no me voy a andar con rodeos, totalmente metalizada excepto sitios que veo lógico un abaratamiento de costes, porque sería innecesario colocar metal dónde un plástico también cumple esa función. Los pilares he de decir que son robustos y en seguida notas un buen producto. En cuánto a atascos solo tuve dos y fue por error mío, he de decir que con esta impresora, estoy muy satisfecho del aprendizaje que he ido acumulando, hasta el punto de haber desmontado el extrusor (siempre con cuidado) sin saber dónde me metía, para quitar restos. Los materiales en los que he impreso hasta ahora han sido: PLA, PLA+, PETG, ABS y ahora me atreveré con TPU a ver que sale, que viéndo las características que tiene la 5mPro, podría imprimirlo sin problemas. El programa de corte para flashforge, es muy intuitivo se basa en orca slicer y es muy fácil de aprender sus características, a base de prueba-error-conocimiento (que es como se aprende de verdad) consigues los resultados deseados, aún así existen millones de vídeos y tutoriales de ello al respecto. Básicamente me volvería a comprar esta impresora sabiendo lo que se hoy? Rotundamente si, hoy día sigue siendo una impresora bastante competitiva, incluso, su precio ha bajado y la encontramos más barata, posiblemente existan impresoras hoy día que la superan en características, pero hacedme caso cuando digo que esta imprime con una calidad muy buena, y si eres capaz de afinar parámetros ya ni te cuento por el precio que tiene. Por último no te voy a decir que es la biblia de las impresoras, pero si la que me hizo saltar a este mundo tan bonito y tan complejo a la vez, de hecho casi al 100% adquiriré la nueva ADX5, que aunque soy reáceo a malgastar filamento por los deshechos que genera, si pienso que se le puede sacar partido cuando tienes que hacer clones de piezas en una misma cama. Sin más espero que os sirva mi humilde opinión que aunque os lo pinte muy bonito siempre existen altibajos y dolores de cabeza, pero al final se basa en eso prueba-error-conocimiento, un saludo

So, I am new to 3D printing, I mean Brand Spanking New. Never printed anything in 3D prior to getting this printer. I actually bought it for my 10 year old son since 3D printing is an elective he will be taking in the new school year. I waited to write this review because I really wnted to test it out and see what issues arose. Yeah, Dad has been hogging this printer since we got it. I am telling you, this thing is incredible. Almost a plug and play printer. Set up is easy, first print is super fun (the little cube), and I am blown away at how fun this is. THe PROS of this are basically what I said above and that I have had almost no critical issues. 1. Super easy to load and unload filament 2. A lot of helpful YouTube videos to help you get started 3. Super clean looking design and easy to monitor what is going on. So the cons of this printer are this: I am still trying to figure out the FlashPrint software. Not easy to find, then the download was challenging, my guess is that it has to do with compability issues between Chinese and English systems, but that is only a guess. FlashCloud was relatively easy to set up. One thing I notice about the FLashCloud is that it seems to go down on the Pacific Time Zone from early morning (say 3-6am - not really sure) until about 10-11 am. Once we get beyond 11am, the FlashCloud seems to start up and run with no issues. That's all I have right now. There are some printing issues that I cannot really attribute to the printer, but more my novice-ness at 3D printing. That may change as I move forward, but I am having no issues running the recommended settings in FlashCloud. There is very little stringing, and I mean VERY little. Some very little bumps in the edges, but again, I thin this will improve as I improve. If I could ask the manufacturer for some upgrades, it would be these: 1. Include a cable to connect the printer to desktop computers and make it easier to download FlashPrint software. This would really help when you want to print but the FlashCloud is being finickiy or moody with logging in. Also, USB is not functional without the FlashPrint slicing to convert into G files. 2. Allow to print MF files directly from Microsoft 3D files, this would really streamline the process, but again, I am new to 3D printing so what do I know. 3. The on-line camera is a nice to have, but for new users, I haven't found it useful to use. The delay in monitoring can be up to half a minute (using FlashCloud) and unless you like watching paint dry, or prhaps QC issues, not really needed in my humble opinion. All i all, I would HIGHLY recommend this printer to anyone new to 3D printing, it is so easy and a real joy to work with. Very little noise, and I haven't printed with ABS yet, but soon, very soon. p.s. all photos of parts were created using TinkerCAD - again HOW incredible is that!!! LOVE this printer.
