Most brands, from what I've experienced are pretty similar. Just maybe avoid the cheapest, no name brands. For the enclosure, I'd recommend the minimal version. It uses less filament and still works fine with the kit from Flashforge. https://www.printables.com/model/1130485-flashforge-adventurer-5m-

Dann kopiere ich mich einfach nur mal eben selbst und liste einfach mal das untere Preissegment auf: Bambulab A1 Mini: für 190€ bekommst du einen sehr zuverlässigen und relativ Wohnzimmer-tauglichen Drucker. Er hat ein recht kleines Druckvolumen von gerade mal 180x180x180. Das könnte hier der größte

Okay no one's recommended this but I have the Flashforge Adventure 5m Pro which is fully enclosed. I'm happy with my printer I have almost 400 hours of printing on it now and only a handful of failed prints and I would say all that isn't related to the printer itself, one of it was a design I tried

If you're thinking of pulling the trigger on the adventurer 5m pro, sometimes Flashforge has sales. Especially with the ADXM out now, the price of the 5m pro shouldn't be too high. There's always the route of buying the 5m and printing the enclosure for a fraction of the difference (although you do

It is alot of printing for the stock enclosure kit, but like others say, it is worthwhile - it prevents airflow from cooling the print environment, and it cuts down on noise and dust. I have a dryer that I use for filament, so needed a mod for some of the pieces that didn't include the spool holder.

Exactly this. Everyone treats Bambu like the perfect printer brand right up until the heated bed wires start melting or an MCU dies straight out of the box. If you just want a reliable enclosed printer to print a single color, the Flashforge Adventurer 5M is a much better value right now without the

But I'm just doing this as a hobby to start . I was going to get the CC for $285, but then elegoo charges a flat $30 for shipping when every

Flip it back around and pull the cable to plug it in. It will reach and it has clearance. For the best setup (imo): https://www.printables.com/model/1193462-flashforge-adventurer-5m-ad5m-improved-side-mount Needs 1 M4x10-12 screw.

I got the flashforge adventurer 5m pro, on sale right now for 380 js. Great printer for beginner and the experienced alike. Fast prints and easy to work on. Enclosed which makes it ultra quiet and doesn’t get smelly because of the filtration fans. My first and only printer but I 100% recommend it

If you want a simpler enclosure I would consider Design8Studios "Minimal Enclosure" Prints with less material :) https://www.printables.com/model/1130485-flashforge-adventurer-5m-ad5m-minimal-diy-enclosur Personally a better design with keeping the display mounted to the frame.
