Key features

Lightning-fast, rock-sturdy.

With a robust 50w heating power, the nozzle can heat up very quickly and the print starts without waiting for too long. The print speed as much as 600mm/s significantly boosts the printing efficiency and saves considerable time to move to the next print. The lightning prints speed is escorted by smart vibration compensation algorithm, ensuring that print quality and stability are not compromised.
Adventurer 5M has a compact design with sturdy all-metal frame, coupled with its CoreXY motion system. These features collectively make this machine a stable and reliable partner for consistently bringing ideas into reality.

Smart one-click leveling and simple nozzle switching make printing simple

Adventurer 5M Pro stands as the ideal choice for beginners to embark on a 3D printing journey, as it aims to make printing easy and effortless.

This new model comes featured with fully automated mesh leveling, providing convenience, and eliminating barriers for people new to 3D printing. With auto-leveling they can achieve success with a flawless first layer in their initial printing task.

The nozzles are innovatively integrated with quick-swap design, allowing users to effortlessly finish the nozzle change within seconds. Simply press the switches and pull the nozzle and the nozzle switching finishes just like a breeze.

Dual air-circulation and enclosed chamber make printing safe and eco-friendly.

Adventurer 5M Pro is equipped with a fully enclosed chamber, offering several advantages for successful 3D printing.

Firstly, it provides enhanced temperature control, a key factor for printing demanding filaments such as ASA and ABS. Better temperature control can prevent the warping and lack of adhesion of the first layer.
Moreover, the enclosed chamber effectively reduces the noise generated by running fans and axes during printing. In low noise mode, this model operates as silently as 50dB, making it suitable for placement on a desktop or in a living room without causing disturbance.

Additionally, the Adventurer 5M Pro goes beyond a simple enclosed chamber. It features dual air filtration, where internal circulation and external circulation (HEPA and activated carbon) work together to prevent harmful dust from the printing process from entering the printer and ensure user safety.

Accessibility and handling

Setting up the Adventurer 5M Pro takes only a few minutes before the first printing session. The printer is securely held in place, and all accessories are neatly stored in a separate box.
This simplified “start print right out of the box” process serves as a significant advantage for beginners, sparing them from the tedious assembly and wiring processes typically associated with initial printing experiences.

The flexible PEI steel build plate has a nice plastic handle on the front that prevents skin from getting exposed to hot plate. Additionally, the magnetic heating bed includes guiding notches, ensuring the plate easily slides into place and securely locks without requiring extra attention.

Software and remote control functionality

For the software, Flashforge recommends two methods for generating the g-code file for printing. The first is Flashprint 5 from Flashforge and the second is Orca Slicer, an increasingly popular open-source slicer. These two slicing choices cater to the needs of both beginners and professional users.

Flashprint features a simple basic mode with just several fundamental buttons and intuitive interfaces for model adjusting and slicing. This compact design can assist a beginner finish slicing with no prior experience.

Orca Slicer is a more professional choice that allows for more specific personalization of filaments, machines, and process settings. However, the professional options also come at the expense of a steeper learning curve.

Wrapping up

The Adventurer 5M Pro by Flashforge stands out for its speed, stability, user-friendliness, and safety features. This model is positioned to lead a trend in cost-effective high-speed 3D printers, with the Adventurer 5M Pro priced at $599 and the Adventurer 5M at $399.

The Adventurer 5M series exemplifies Flashforge’s unwavering commitment to making high-speed 3D printing technology not only enjoyable but also beneficial and affordable for the public. Whether you are a designer, hobbyist, educator, or 3D print enthusiast, Flashforge aims to provide an effortless method for your idea in quick prototyping, DIY creation, informative teaching, or livelihood through production. Most importantly, the goal is to ensure that individuals find joy in their 3D printing experiences.

3D printing technology is reshaping our life and with the influx of more competitive manufacturers and cut-throat competition in 3D printing market, Flashforge has been sticking to redefine the 3D printing experience by striking a balance among many factors, the printing performance, stability and quality, safety for ecosystem, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness.
