I use OrcaSlicer, bought a camera, added LED lighting, flashed it with KlipperMod (for remote control), and made my own custom enclosure. I already use Bed Leveling at start for perfect first layers. Never have WiFi issues. It is a bit loud, but the enclosure helps a ton! I also create multi-colored items by doing manual filament changes.

My printer loses power randomly, the axis will grind as if it’s misaligned, and now my extruder stops working intermittently and skips layers causing a massive waste of filament. I have been chatting back and forth with support from flashforge for weeks and keep getting met with suggestions on restarting the printer, updating, and cleaning the bed which has nothing to do with the issues, even after I tried their suggestions. Completely frustrating for the amount of money I spent.I started off with the very first version of the Ender 3 several years ago and loved it, but it was definitely time for an upgrade. After some research and wanting an enclosed printer, I decided upon this one. I did hear some negative reviews on YouTube mostly because of the specific slicer and or software you have to use for this printer, but it’s honestly not a big deal at all. It 3D prints things, and that’s all you really need it for. The build quality is excellent and was very well packaged. My shipping box was a bit damaged but the printer was protected with the foam. Setup was easy, although it did take a bit longer than the advertised 10 minutes with calibration, it was still a breeze. Being used to the slower Ender 3, this thing made me flinch when it started to print because it was ridiculously fast. I’m baffled at how it could print so well with such speeds. The print quality is stunning. I’ve used cheap PLA, the included PLA, and TPU, with amazing results. I’d highly recommend this printer to anyone. Great buy!

Bought as a gift for my Techy son! He loves this and has made all kinds of cool stuff! He is 19 and hard to buy for! He told me a few months after he received "Thank you for getting me this printer." Win in my book! He hasnt had any issues and he's had for about 5 months now. Great Price also.

The problems come in to connectivity to WiFi and to Orca. The camera quality after you do the upgrade and there is no button on the HMI for turning on and off the light.1. WiFi, It doesn’t seem to be a direct WiFi connection issue as the printer can always be found on my router. It’s more of an Orca/Flashforge issue. I’m using the orca that is made for Flashforge and sometimes I can find the printer but most times it just says it’s offline.2. Camera, I purchased the camera kit for the printer and it’s a slow pixelated view when and if it even connects. It’s a great option to have but this one is not very usable. My Elegoo is far superior and most say it’s even bad.3. Light, ok so I purchased the light kit and 3d printed the housing they have for it but on this printer the print head hits the housing. I was able to make some brackets with magnets in it to hold the light and it works. Problem is Flashforge needs to do a firmware update to add a button on the HMI to turn on and off the light. It would not be terrible to have to use the app to do it if there were not connectivity issues.I will say it prints great and if you don’t care about wireless connectivity this thing is gold for the price.

I love it. I feel like I got the jackpot with this guy is been 6 months since I've had it and I've probably gone thru 15 spools of filament. I've made sure to clean it grease it and keep it calibrated the frame is plenty sturdy, I do recommend printing an enclosure or walls for it, if anything to keep the temps consistent. I did mess up the hot end because I thought it was like my taz6 and tried to unscrew it, but I called customer support and they sent me 2 new ones no questions asked. I can't say if that's standard procedure. I was really surprised they did that. But it still proud just as well as day 1. I've used it with several different brands of PLA and PETG and they both work great.I haven't had any clogging at all. But it does come with a tool just in case. Easy to calibrate easy to connect in fact you've got several options to connect it's own hot spot, Wi-Fi connection ip address or removable media. And the flash forge software works just fine for me. I love this printer and would recommend if you're looking for something dependable and affordable.

I used creative 3-D units for a while. You need two hands to load the filament. This adventure 5M is the best one I’ve seen on the market so far. The price is definitely worth it . I am actually thinking of purchasing the pro.
