Adventurer 5M

If we’re considering just materials alone then yea I clear the cost of most other aftermarket hardtops by a good sum. I bought a printing setup that can churn out all the plastic I need for this project relatively quick which is three printers but I chalked those up to business expenses as I plan on

ngl for Gridfinity and lego storage prints you’ll want something super reliable and consistent, since you’ll be doing a ton of repetitive runs. the Prusa mk4s is probably your safest bet under 1.5k. it’s solid out of the box, works fine with macos (via Prusaslicer) and the support/community is massi

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.

If you want to dabble in 3D printing, the best thing I ever did was buy big. Don't buy for what you think you want to do, buy for t

Ich habe seit zwei Jahren den Flashforge Adventurer 5M. Bisher noch nix dran basteln müssen. Nutze den für die Arbeit und private Projekte. Der zuverlässigste Drucker den ich bisher hatte. Auch die Hotends kann man einfach wechseln ohne den Druckkopf auseinander bauen zu müssen.

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
