What reviewers found
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
- 3DPrint.com: A full volume ASA print took 24 h 44 min with no warping and a 100 mm cube measured 99.70 x 99.71 x 100.02 mm. Measured 68 dB average and 79 dB max. Ran with 100% uptime over a month; TPU needed 30 to 40 mm/s. Source
- 3Dnatives (9.5/10): Scored 9.5/10 with 10/10 for print quality. Auto calibration took about 15 minutes with no manual input. Cons were a confusing slicer transition, small build volume, no multi material and a rear mounted spool. Source
Flashforge Creator 5
- Tom's Hardware: Called it the least expensive tool changer on the market. A PLA bust took 8 h 28 min; a PETG fidget toy took 2 h 57 min at 120 mm/s. One TPU print failed with a clog. Slicer profiles need work. Source
- 3DWithUs (4.8): Hands on: calibration took 20 to 30 min. A four color Benchy took about 45 min and a four color figure about 6.5 h with low waste. Cons: open frame, no waste bin, no heated chamber. Source
