It is the same printer. I would use the Orca Flashforge slicer to start. People will suggest the regular Orca slicer but for new to 3D printing, it is harder to use.

Flashforge Adventurer 5m - absolute workhorse. If you've an extra 80 or so definitely worth upgrading to the pro version!

I thought it was easy to work with. I am a beginner at 3D printing. We bought a flashforge adventurer 5m and printed it with a PLA filament. I didn’t even need supports for the majority of it, it printed quickly. I had one misprint from not using the support but I was able to salvage and use the pie

Good luck and have fun. I am new to 3d printing as of Christmas 2025. My 1st machine was a adventurer 5m pro. I have been having a blast with it. Very user friendly. Not sure the differences with software etc but I use mainline orca slicer and have been having a blast. Some failed prints but mostly

Many will disagree with me, but I really love the ender 3. The fosscad community mostly doesn't like them anymore. I have a couple of them, and I'm actually getting ready to vertically wall mount one to be dedicated to printed ammo. For large batches of small things like this, it makes the most sinc
