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!

It's really cool for a beginners printer... I've had mine for a fair few months.. had some issues but was probably due to lack of experience in all honesty.. great for learning used pla and petg.. I have seen printers with insane quality prints but for this price honestly it's sound.. I've made some epic prints with it.. went a bit crazy at one point but I was doing frequent testing of the settings just to learn about it.. ignore the moaners on here.. any printer can have issues.. in my case I was experimenting.. you need patience, Google and fix the issues. once I understood the settings it's working sound.. its cheap low budget, but still the result is quality.. for the months I've had it, it's changed the game for me... will plan to upgrade soon, but this is my first baby and she is sound.. do your research on the materials you use.. find the best heating temps for example: pla 220-230 with a 55 60 bed does the job for me.. the settings and material detection on the printer is also standard.. you just might have to make slight adjustments to the temp.. just use the app on your phone, pc or printer screen and raise temp if nessesary.. do your research

The media could not be loaded. This is my first venture into 3D printing and thanks to the Flashforge Adventurer 3 i am well and truly hooked!My brother is massively into 3D printing and i have asked him to print me some items in the past, he suggested i looked at buying myself one, but to be honest, whilst i am very good at new tech, 3D printing looked way too complicated for even me!Whilst browsing the Amazon daily deals i came across this printer, reading the reviews and watching a few online videos everyone seemed to be saying this device required very little knowledge and just kind of worked straight out of the box - i decided to take the plunge and ordered!When the printer arrived i was immediately super impressed by the build quality of the device and the super smart appearance of the machine. I looked at the instructions included and to be honest they were beyond pointless! I therefore watched a setup video online and hooked up the device. To my amazement it really was just plug and play! I had to download the flashprint 5 software which is free from the manufacturers website - again there is no real instructions on how to use this software but online videos helped me through it and it actually was pretty simple!The printer comes with a small test roll of 250g PLA filament in red. Loading the filament was super easy, just place the roll inside the machine, feed the end into the printer and use the touch screen to pull the filament through. The touch screen guides you through the whole process.I was now ready for my first 3D print - Super Excited! I downloaded a couple of free .STL files and loaded them into Flashprint, clicked a couple of buttons and it send the file to the printer. The display on the printer sprung to life and informed me it was receiving the file, it then displayed a nice 3D image of the item i was printing - which was a Benchy (tug boat). The print took around 1hr 30 mins but WOW - how good did this little boat look!!! That's it i was hooked!! I ordered some more filament in black from Amazon and my next project was a skull that could hold pens/pencils. That has now been printing for around 8hrs and has around 3hrs left - so yes it's not a fast process - the machine takes it time, but the detail is just so amazing!What i love about the machine is that it is super quiet, it does not smell when printing, the print area is fully enclosed, touch screen is great, footprint is nice and compact, internal lights make checking on your print really easy, heat up time is astonishingly fast! Biggest plus is that it really is plug and play with no 3D printing knowledge needed!What i didn't like so much about the machine was, camera is pretty poor quality - you also can not view this in the slicing software but instead have to go to the printers IP address to view - it's good enough for you to check on your print but it's quite dark and lacking in detail, the quality looks like VGA rather than 720p. The printer can also only house 500g reels of filament, which are not value for money compared to larger 1kg rolls, however you can easily solve this buy purchasing a filament holder and having your PLA on the outside of the machine. The print bed is fairly small allowing a max of 150mmx150mmx150mm prints - but for a beginners machine i feel that size print is fine for an introduction into the world of 3D printing.In summary, if you are looking at getting into 3D printing then i very highly recommend you look at investing in the Flashforge Adventurer 3 machine - you honestly can not go wrong with this smart looking device! It is truly is ideal for a novice/beginner who has extremely limited knowledge of this daunting hobby. If you are a more experienced 3D printer then you may want to look elsewhere as this machine is pretty locked down in terms of firmware and customisation options.A truly amazing 3D Printer - i am totally in love with this device! I know for a fact i will be upgrading in the future and getting another machine that can perhaps print a little faster and have a larger print area. I will definitely consider getting another larger flashforge printer as i am super impressed with their product.I can not recommend this enough!!! Over the Moon with it!I hope that you found my review helpful
