FLASHFORGE 5M Pro 3D Printer 600mm/s High Speed & Precision, Full-Auto Calibration with 0.4&0.6mm Nozzle Bundle, CoreXY Structure & Auxiliary Chamber Cooling, ≤50 dB Quite Printing Camera Printers

Okay so let me just start out by saying, 3D printing IS NOT what I thought it would be, in a good way! Had this printer since late November 2025, it’s my first printer. I’ve definitely learned a lot and it was worth the money. Now, I will admit I have had one spaghetti incident so far which cooked my nozzle and damaged my plate which did leave irreversible damage marks in the plate, which in turn left marks on prints and is a bit annoying but not too big of a deal. I did end up replacing the build plate and unclogged the nozzle along with it, and it works great again. I will say it is a little tricky for beginners as this was my first printer as well. You have to do a lot of research to learn the different settings and techniques that different filament types need in order to avoid incidents like I had. I can see how for non-handy people, unlogging the nozzle may be a bit tricky, but luckily I’m handy so it was no problem for me. Just be weary of that. I will say, it is a little annoying that I had to wait multiple weeks for parts to ship new form China but I’m a pretty patient person so it didn’t bother me too much. Just be aware if your thinking of buying this printer for your kids or self and haven’t started 3D printing yet, just please don’t make a stupid move and leave your printer alone at first if your not confident enough yet like I did unless you want to end up going through 2 months of trouble shooting and waiting on parts/taking apart your printer’s nozzle. Otherwise it’s not a bad printer, it works good when it actually does work which is a lot of the time, but it mostly depends on your slicer settings which is the software you will use to model and send your prints to your printer. You can either send it via Wifi or the USB drive it come with, but I recommend just using the Wifi feature at first just to learn as it’s easier. I didn’t learn till a few months in that there is a built in camera that you can watch your prints on (once again over Wifi), via the Flashprint slicer so you don’t have to be always watching your printer 24/7, but I suppose that one is simply on me for not reading all the specs before buying, lol. I did sit in front of the printer at first and watch the prints however please do not do that and crack open a window every now and then, as I also learned that 3D printing can release non-dangerous particles in the air which is NOT dangerous at all, however a bit irritating to breath and can make your throat tickle after a while. I’m just saying this because I seen some other reviewers have their young children directly in front of the enclosure with their faces against the door. People, I’ll say it again this is NOT a toy 😭 it is a machine. Just wanted to get that out of the way. If you don’t want your prints to come out with textures I learned you will also have to fork another $20 over to switch out the build plate which is magnetic and comes off easily and switched it out with a smooth plate which you will want to get right away if you want your prints to come out smooth and not sparkly. All in all it’s been a great journey to learn the wacky world of 3D printing and if your willing to give a lot of time, a reasonable amount of money, and a LOT of patience then I’d definitely recommend this printer, just don’t expect your first prints to be great and start with something simple like a built in test print such as a cube. Your gonna need a computer to use it of course. You can either find print STLs online (there are multiple great websites with free 3D models made by real people that you can use) or you can design your own models although if your new I’d recommend staying away from that for a while unless your familiar with the likes of Blender or 3D modeling. I have ran about 30+ prints on this guy at this point and they always come out really well but it depends on your room environment and settings. Know you will likely need to buy a separate dry box to dry your filament as over time it slowly absorbs moisture in the air and can ruin your prints if your not careful. I found it helps to have a dehumidifier in the same room or nearby but it probably won’t matter too much if your careful about it. The roll of filament it comes with is not a lot, it’s about half a roll of PLA which is a slightly weaker filament type but it’s still great for quick parts or small objects, so plan on buying another roll of filament right away, usually 1.75mm. Thank you so much for reading my very long and detailed review, (I know…) have a great day and happy printing everybody!

I have had about a dozen FlashForge 3D Printers over the last ten or so years. This is my third 5M Pro and I bought this one for my personal use at home. I am super happy with the quality and speed of the print and the machine is actually fairly quiet for use in my basement.

It’s a very solid 3D printer for a first timer. It has very easy set up, the settings are easy, no real assembly required minus moving the screen to its mount and even then, that was very easy. I’ve already printed over 20 things in less than two weeks and it hasn’t given me any issues.

Great printer when you can connect to Flash Forge Studio, but their website is constantly down and this thing is just a a big box of plastic taking up space. terrible support from the manufacturer and Amazoni used to like 5 times and you have to log into the cloud based program to use it. Which is always down. I been at this all day. Trying to fix and finally got some resolution from my credit card company and they are considering it a defective product and is going to charge my purchase price back through a defective item dispute.

I love it for what it does. I really wanted the camera aspect, but the recording quality is garbage. Auto-level is a life saver. I’ve made huge prints and tiny prints, just a heads up, the smaller the print, the more I’d recommend watching the first one or two layers stick. and MAKE SURE they’re close to the center of the plate!

I had been considering getting a 3D printer for years, and finally decided to push the button. I chose this model because it was middle of the road. It wasn’t the cheapest POS out there, and definitely not the most expensive.If you are expecting a point and click activity, maybe you should take up knitting. Starting with the setup process, a fair amount of thought and effort goes into using this device. The more effort you put in, the more you will get out.In my case, I have zero regrets. I’m a little over a month into this, and the machine has been running nearly nonstop since I got it up and running.But be warned.1). There is a lot of waiting involved. Larger models can take hours, and sometimes days to complete.2). A lot can go wrong. Not every model completes successfully.3) This is not a cheap hobby:1KG of filament (a 3D printer’s ‘ink’) ballparks at $20.Damp filament makes for failed prints, so you will need to purchase things to dry the filament, and keep the filament dry.You will need certain tools to deal with your models after they’ve been printed.4) it’s dangerously addictive. Like I mentioned before, this thing has been running nonstop since I got it.In hindsight, I might’ve gotten a unit that prints in multiple colors at the same time. (This one uses one color at a time). However, I would’ve missed out on all of the lessons that I learned with this one.I already have my next printer picked out, but I need to clean out my back room so I have some place to set it up, which I’m not doing because I’m spending all of my time printing. (and finding new things to print)Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

I've had this printer for almost a year now and I have to say I've gotten plenty of use out of it. When it comes to buying products like this, I usually have a gauge of what is TOO LOW of a price point where you start to sacrifice quality. With this printer, that is absolutely not the case. I've put this printer through a lot of different prints and any issues I've had with it, have primarily been operator error. As a new user, I strongly recommend this as a gateway printer. The price is perfect, which allows you more to spend on filament.

I wanted to venture into 3D Printing. I did some research and Flash Forge Adventurer 5M Pro look to be a great option based on reviews and price point. As one other reviewer mentioned the filament would jam the extruder. I quickly became an expert on how to disassemble and reassemble the print mechanism. Support was helpful but for the most part just directed me to their videos. I used only products from Flash Forge to make sure it wasn't a 3rd party filament. It would do 2 or 3 jobs and then jam. Anyway, I was so disappointed, because when the items printed it was awesome. Onto try another product because 3D printing is too fun to stop. I've enclosed a picture of the inside of the extruder and a fun picture with one of the successes.
