The Flashforge Adventurer 5M is a fast CoreXY printer that stands out for reliable everyday printing and strong value at this price. It has handled many projects cleanly, works well for functional parts in PETG and ASA, and the enclosure kit makes it a practical low cost path to hotter materials. The deal is also far below past street prices, with recent purchases around $154 to $190 and older pricing above $240. Main caveats are that multicolor and AMS style convenience are not included, and ASA printing benefits from an enclosure and filtration setup. A solid fit if you want a compact single color workhorse.
Functional-part makers printing PETG or ASA, because the enclosed CoreXY setup suits brackets, cases, and hot-car parts.
Yes. It has been bought for about $154, $190, $240, and even over $300 when new, so $133.8 is a strong discount. Several buyers also report it printing many projects reliably with no problems.
Yes. It is being used for functional parts in PETG and ASA, with PETG-CF planned later, and it can be paired with a DIY enclosure plus HEPA/carbon filtration for ASA. PETG is also favored for hot-car parts and general functional prints.
For ASA, an enclosure is useful. The printer can be run with the Flashforge enclosure kit, a DIY cover, or a custom enclosure, and one setup described using the printer's cardboard box temporarily as a draft shield before adding proper filtration.
Yes. PLA is the easiest filament to start with because it does not need drying, and learning slicer settings like infill, supports, brim, speed, and temperature matters more than the printer itself. Sunlu PLA and other solid-color filaments are suggested for practice.
Yes. It has been reflashed with generic Klipper and Moonraker instead of using Flashforge's proprietary software, which is useful if you already prefer that workflow.
I really like this printer. I purchased and printed the DIY enclosure kit too. Good stuff. Highly recommend Sunlu's PLA for behinners since it's fairly inexpensive on Amazon.
AN incredible deal on such a useful device. I grabbed the AD5X, but since I print single color this would have been the better deal. Hindsight is 20/20.
I got one of these last fall for slightly more than this. It was my first xy after many years of bedslingers. I highly recommend it. I immediately reflashed it with generic klipper & moonraker since I was used to that sort of thing rather than learning Flashforge's proprietary stuff.
I was just curious if anyone yet has bought and reviewed this printer to ensure it's a legit purchase from Ali and this works? Many of the comments are talking about the printer in general, but not actually the purchase of and the quality after it arrived (if it did) from this listing. I'm sure it's probably legit if the listing has been up since the 16th but just wanted to see reviews from the Ali Express purchase and if this is worth it or if I should purchase something else.

The AliExpress seller is the actual company that produces the product: FLASHFORGE 3D Printer Store. (Actual company name when you click on the FLASHFORGE 3D Printer Store listing: Zhejiang Flash Casting Group Co., Ltd).
