The flashforge adventurer 5m is beyond capable, and you can find them for around 260. If I had to buy a printer again and I had a 600 dollar budget, I'd buy it again and get a bunch of filament for it.

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

Are you looking for 3D printer recs or sewing machine recs or both? 3D printer - a good starter is Flashforge Adventurer 5M - affordable, out of box usable, user friendly with orca slicer Sewing machine recs - I find a basic Singer works for a wide range of projects and is affordable but really it d

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

the Flashforge adventurer 5m pro is a pretty good and relatively inexpensive option, but the Bambu P1S seems to be the more popular choice these days. you can find some good options in this thread

I just bought a flashforge adventureer 5m on sale on Alibaba for $185 shipped and I'm quite enjoying it. Lots of fun to play with. So much to print, sim rig and otherwise.

Flashforge Adventurer 5M: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256809624148185.html $140.60 with code USAFF15 600mm/s, 20,000mm/s2 accel, 32mm3 /s VFR, CoreXY for sub$150???? I don't believe there's anything else in this price bracket that comes close. At the least, it easily kicks the e3v3se's ass in. O

Honestly an ender 3 is barely relevant for new purchases these days. A FlashForge Adventurer 5M is $250 Prime and so much more advanced than the Ender 3 these days. Much faster, practically zero assembly, direct drive for better flexible filament printing. It was my first 3d printer and from cutting

What do you consider a "lower budget?" The Centauri Carbon is only 289 brand new and it's a really good budget model for a beginner. A refurbished Adventurer 5M is 200 direct from Flashforge on eBay. It's missing some features the Carbon has, but it still makes nice prints. With either option you ge

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
