Adventurer 5M 3D Printer, 600Mm/S Max High Speed FDM 3D Printers with Fully Automatic Leveling, 280°C Direct Extruder with Detachable Nozzle Rá

TL;DR: A good printer, but be aware it is from China and some of the parts may not be of great quality. It is overall a fairly precise 3d printer at a decent price. Some components may wear faster than expected as a result. But decent overall. If you are looking for your first 3d printer, this has good potential but be aware you may have to repair and/or tinker with it every so often. Alright, picked up the AD5M in June of 2025. As of this review August of 2025, it is still going well. Overall, I am satisfied with the overall capability of the printer out of the box. It was dead simple to get going, get it on the network and start sending print jobs to it. If you are new to 3-D printing, this could be a great first printer. As of this review, it is fairly easy to mod / run a custom firmware. After getting the printer going and printed off the enclosure, I started running into issues during assembly. The filament tube does not line up with the sensor well. Additionally, the sensor if using the manufacture 3mf/stl files; needs to be reversed/installed upside down. There is a tiny > on the top showing the filament direction. There are many options available on thangs or printables to install it 'correctly' I also picked up the LED light strip for this, installation straightforward. Worked no surprises. However, the factory firmware cannot control the LED light strip on an AD5M. So you can't dim or otherwise turn the LED off. Installing / Using the forge-x firmware mod lets you control the LED light strip. The rear plate carriage broke within the first 100 hours of use. I was able to print off a centering part to re-center the carrier on the lift screw. Have not had an issue since the fix. You can detect this if you gently attempt to lift up on the carrier while watching the lift screws; if it lifts without turning the lift screw or attempting to turn it; inspect on why. The bed springs were over tightened from the factory. I did not catch this until ~450 hours on the machine. I ended up replacing the springs with "Prime-Line SP 9700 Compression Spring, Spring Steel Construction, Nickel-Plated Finish, 0.035 GA x 1/4 In. x 1/2 In. (6 Pack)". I have not had an issue with this after replacing the springs. I noticed this when the bed would not keep a consistent z-height. Outside of the issues above, I've not really had any other issues with the machine. My machine is connected via hardware network line. Wireless seemed to work okay, your milage may vary. The stock firmware does work okay, I wanted more control over the printer remotely so I loaded up the Forge-X mod -> https://github.com/DrA1ex/ff5m by DrA1ex. Follow the guides and try not to skip ahead to printing without updating the configuration in Orca-Slicer. For the 'Interface' I run the 'feather' variant to free up additional resources on the machine. Additionally, after I switched to the Forge-X firmware mod, I also switched my slicer to Orca-Slicer instead of Orca-Forge. With Forge-X it gives me additional control over the machine remotely.

This is a great 3D printer it is our first one we bought it for our 10 year old and he can make all kinds of creations. Flower vases, baby toys, snakes etc. Make sure you use plenty of glue to hold the print in place and you shouldn't have any issues. I am sharing a flower vase, a baby rattle, and snake we have made with it.

EDIT 2 days in: Still trying to dial in settings with the Forge-Orca slicer software that is recommended. I have had a couple prints where there is a noticeable seam, more so than what is projected on the slicer software. It may be due to excess vibration, so I put the printer on the ground just to eliminate any shaking or level variables. Still having trouble with prints failing or support not detaching from projects. Could be user error, I will continue to diagnose. First ever 3D printer. I went with this one because of the good review to purchase ratio. Wasn’t hard to set up. Calibration was easy and auto leveled. Only complaint is the included test PLA is a small bundle and for some reason got tangled instantly, but I can’t really complain because it wasn’t even mentioned so it’s cool to get to test it right out of the box! I bought this and a 1kg black pla spool and I’m already printing cool projects for my partner and family. I enjoy this. I will update if I have any further issues.

I got this 3D printer for my 8-year-old son. He seems to like it. Overall it prints 3D items. It takes a while. It only prints one color. I think my biggest issue with this particular 3D printer is the lack of instruction or resources on how to use it that are provided by the manufacturer. You got to download this orca circa app. Which works once you finally get it on your computer, but it took forever for me to pair my printer. There is very little clear instructions and I was unable to download the app directly from flashforge website because the flash forge version of the orca app won't download on my Mac. The Mac operating system gives you an error message that it's untrusted and won't let you bypass it even by pressing control or command. It won't let you bypass it. I got more help from Facebook and joining some 3D printing groups and I did from the manufacturer's website. There's a few free 3D modeling apps my kids downloaded on their iPad that seem to work well with printing and overall for an entry level printer. It's pretty decent. If my kids ever really got into 3D printing like seriously into it modeling their own complex things, I might consider buying a more expensive printer, one that maybe had multicolor prints and could print things like carbon fiber and other stuff. But if you're just looking to print a few things here and there and I'll have some fun in the family. This printer for the price is worth it. Just know that instructions are not very clear. It will be a little frustrating to learn how to use the 3D printer, but once you get the hang of it and figure out it's little nuance is, it's actually a pretty decent printer for the price.

It’s fast and good
