Is the Adventurer 5M Worth It?


✔ Affordable – Good value for a beginner/intermediate user.
✔ Direct Drive Extruder – Better for flexible filaments like TPU.
✔ Auto Bed Leveling – Makes setup easier.
✔ Enclosed Design – Helps with temperature control and safety.
✔ Quiet Operation – Suitable for home/office use.

If you're a beginner or need a reliable, enclosed printer at a low cost, the Adventurer 5M is worth it. 

What Software to Use for Adventurer 5M?

The recommended slicer is Orca-Flashforge, but you can also use:

FlashPrint 5 (Best for default profiles)

Orca (With custom profiles, may need tweaking)

Can the Adventurer 5M Use ABS/ASA Filament?

Yes, but with caution.

Flashforge Adventurer 5M has a max nozzle temp of 280°C (enough for most ABS/ASA filaments). The heated bed goes up to 100°C, and enclosed design helps with warping.

Recommendation:

Use a glue stick or PEI sheet for better adhesion.

Print slowly (30-50mm/s) and avoid drafts.

Dry the filament before use (ABS/ASA absorbs moisture quickly).

Does the AD5M have an enclosure? Can it be enclosed like the AD5MP?

Absolutely. We offer a dedicated enclosure kit that allows you to build your own enclosure for the AD5M. The enclosure models can be downloaded from the Flashforge Wiki and printed using your 3D printer. Once printed, you can assemble the enclosure using the parts included in the enclosure kit.

Does the AD5M support third-party filaments?

Yes, the AD5M is compatible with filaments from other brands. It supports standard 1.75mm diameter FDM filaments, so you can use materials from popular brands such as Bambu, Creality, SUNLU, eSUN, and more.

What slicer works with Flashforge Adventurer 5M?

We recommend using the official Orca-Flashforge slicer, available for download at [https://flashforge.com/blogs/download-center/software]. The printer is also compatible with other slicing software such as Orca Slicer. Additionally, the previous FlashPrint 5 software remains fully functional.

What’s the difference between the AD5MP and AD5M?

These two models share many of the same features, but the AD5MP comes with several new upgrades. It has a fully enclosed design that helps reduce noise, making it ideal for indoor printing. It’s also equipped with an air filter to maintain healthier indoor air quality.

The enclosure helps maintain a stable chamber temperature, which improves print results for materials like ABS that are prone to warping. Additionally, the AD5MP includes a built-in camera, supporting remote monitoring and time-lapse recording via the FlashMaker App.

Overall, the AD5MP is better suited for indoor environments.
