Community Reviews

The Adventurer 5M Pro stands out as the enclosed, filtered version of Flashforge's fast 5M line, with a camera and an extra 0.6 nozzle that make it better suited to advanced materials and remote printing. The enclosure and air filtration are the main reasons it makes sense over the regular 5M, especially for printing ASA or ABS from a room. The main tradeoff is price, since the plain 5M can be upgraded with an enclosure kit and other parts, though that route takes time and can erase much of the savings. It is a stronger fit when those Pro features matter more than the lowest upfront cost.

Stop it with the 3D Printers. I'm going to have to start a business just to pay for them all, lol

I have bought a couple spares. Hopefully, if all the panic over them takes over, I'll have some grandfathered or at least with okay firmware.

If I hadn't recently purchased the AD5M non-pro I would be all over this. Really tempting even though I'm holding out for an enclosed tool-changer type printer.

Great printer if you need the enclosure. Otherwise I'm not sure. The 5M is about $100 cheaper and for $30-40 you can get the enclosure kit. It's not as good as the Pro but that still puts you $60+ ahead.
Where the Pro wins is if you are going to print more advanced materials and remotely.
I'm addition to the enclosure the pro has the camera and air filtration. Those are with something.
However for someone just starting I think I would go 5M or AD5X then upgrade if you decide you need the ability to do engineering filaments. You might also decide you need a bigger bed at the same time.

This seems like a better deal than the 5M ($100 less). With the pro you get the enclosure, the camera, air filtration, and an extra (0.6) nozzle. Adding these to the 5M is possible, but the cost of these will be more than $100 and it isn't really a pro after that, it's more like a 5M Plus (I own a "5M Plus" with the camera, lights, and enclosure). The only thing the 5M might have over the pro might be that it is compatible with a smart switch. The Pro doesn't turn on automatically if you use a smart switch.

Just my two cents:
The DIY enclosure kit is $34-$40 and then about 1.5 rolls of PETG to print the required parts, so another $30. And if you choose to build or buy a bentobox charcoal air filter to put your printer truly on par with the Pro, that will set you back probably another $20-$30ish bucks.
To be honest, when all was said and done, I kind of wished I had just bought the Pro. The DIY process was fun, but also time consuming and not cost saving at all in the end.

You beat me to it. Yes, I agree, and I had forgotten about the camera.

For me the multicolor is the biggest selling point vs the pro

They're not the same. Your ebay link is for the regular adventure 5m and this post is for the pro. Those have been selling for $144 before cashback on aliexpress.

That's not a great deal. The normal 5M you liked has been $144 for a month or two now, on AliExpress, shipped within the United States by FF.

I'd go for the AD5X for the multicolor. Unless you need filtration for ASA/ABS. The multicolor is wasteful; but it's nice to have as an option. If you want an enclosure Flashforge sells kits for the AD5X and you just print the additional parts.

I did forget the filament in my estimate. However, I was able to change the infill on my print job and get it down to about 1.2 rolls. I also found PLA worked for me but either way I was at under $15 in plastic. I got the kit on sale for under $30. However, the Pro is still better in every way other than cost. When I bought my 5M for $240 (2 years back) I probably would have gone for the Pro if the price gap had been just $100 at the time. Back then I think the Pro was close to $400.

Oh, one other advantage to the Pro (at least then) was it came with some additional nozzles.
