Flashforge Adventurer 4 3D Printer Auto Leveling with Quick Removable Hign Temp Nozzle, Flexible CNC Platform and HEPA13 air Filter, 220x200x250mm Printing Size

Pas mal mais .....
Pour une premire imprimante 3D elle est pas mal, mais il faut s’armer de patiente et bien paramtrer les tempratures pour des bonnes qualits d’impression.
Oublier l’impression en ABS car elle foire.
Tout est en franais mme le logiciel d’impression.

Love Flashforge Printers! Ad 4 is amazing!!
Around 2 weeks ago i purchased the baby sister of this printer, the adventurer 3. I loved it so much that i wanted to upgrade straight away!! The build platform on the 3 was a little too small for some of the projects i wanted to print so i took the plunge and ordered the adventurer 4!

I have zero experience of 3d printing, but what i loved about flashforge is that you don’t need any experience at all – it really is a case of taking out of the box, loading filament and sending over your print file. Yes there are some settings in the flashprint software that you can tinker with, but i haven’t needed to do that as the defaults print just fine in my opinion.

The Adventurer 4 has a much bigger build plate than the 3, which allowed me to print a full size vase overnight. The print took just under 15hrs but it was worth it! I have included a review picture of the print for you too see – the detail is amazing. I printed this vase using the standard 0.4 nozzle which is included in the box. One thing i noticed when compared to the 3 is that the model was much harder to get off the build plate. I will have to tinker with my settings to see if i can improve this.

The machine itself is huge compared to the 3. However this 4 does hold a 1kg filament roll compared to 500g with the 3. Everything else is roughly the same, it’s just bigger! The camera is poor on both machines but provides an easy way to view from a distance if you need too. I found that by leaving a light onto of the case allows the camera quality to improve slightly.

If you are new to 3d printing then i can not recommend this product enough – it is fantastic! If you are an experienced 3d printer who likes to use other software to slice then you may want to look elsewhere as this printer seems to be locked to Flashprint, there own software. You can configure with other 3rd party slicers but that requires some coding (which is freely available on the net).

What do i love most about this printer? Ease of use, design, enclosed case, excellent large build area, hepa filter to stop fumes, touch screen display.

Excellent 3d printer – highly recommended!

I hope that you found my review helpful.

I like it, it was easy to get started and print almost immediately. The touch screen is a bit too sensitive but I'll get used to it. The build plate is way too adhesive, the raft was stuck on it very tightly. The object I printed came off the raft easy but I had to manually re-heat the bed and then use an electric heat gun to soften the raft enough to be able to peel it off, worked out ok. The flexible build plate did not even loosen the raft at all. This is my very first 3D printer and so far I am happy with it. Not really sure what polar cloud is all about but did manage to get it setup. The bed definitely needed levelling before the very first print, even though it was supposed to be factory levelled it's always a good idea to check it once in a while even after using the machine for a while. Had to download the user guide from their website and it was kind of helpful but could have been better written. Thank goodness for Youtube, lots of useful info there on this Addventurer 4 machine. Even though the machine is not perfect it is still a good beginners 3D printer. It is a consumer grade machine and not a commercial or industrial grade so it's expected to have certain limitations. When this machine wears I out will probably buy another Flashforge model of some type to replace it.

Easy to use, ready out of the box but not silent, calibration can be a tad tricky
Pros:
* Made quite a few prints straight out of the box with no issues – download model, load into software and with a click of a button send to the printer. For a first time 3D printer user that’s what I’ve excepted.
* Flashforge software is straighforward to use for a basic level user, no complaints – load the model, slice, apply supports if necessary etc. and print.
* Looks aesthetically pleasing, enclosed.
* WiFi definitely makes starting and stopping prints convenient, especially if you keep the printer in an isolated area to contain the noise.
* Camera is low resolution but good enough to monitor the print. You can view the print through your browser if you know the local IP address or flashforge software.
* Glass bed is great – no issues with adhesion. Once the model is printed power off the printer, wait for the bed to cool down and models almost pop off themselves from the bed or require a very gentle nudge at most.

Cons:
* Cloud functionality works but is slow and you have to use slicing software on the cloud which is very limited and again – very slow. Not really practical but depends on your use case.
* By no means it’s silent. During the print it’s loud, very much so. On idle it has fans running top speed – again, very loud and what’s the reason to do so in idle mode? As in you wouldn’t want to be in the same room loud for longer than a few minutes contrary to the selling point.
* Calibration process is not very straightforward. E.g. after calibrating using a paper between the nozzle and the base it may not actually be properly calibrated even with multiple tries. Is there a technique of moving the nozzle up and down multiple times in a certain pattern to avoid inaccurate calibration, motor backlash?
* Does not support 1kg spools so you are essentially expected to print an external extension or pay extra for smaller spools which are also limited in options. Having an external spool means you have to keep the lid off thus reducing the benefits of noise and fume suppression unless you 3D print a lid for this particular case, there are models online. Inconvenience. You could arguably drill a hole in the panel but… this shouldn’t be a thing.
* You have to manually power if off, you can’t do that through software. There is no standby mode once it finishes. When finished it goes into idle mode and gets very loud (fants). A workaround is to use a smart socket to control power from your phone/PC.
* A very minor gripe but the power cable socket connection to the printer is a bit flimsy and may need a bit of play and support to stay in full contact but once done it stays in no issues.
* Obnoxiously loud ear piercing welcome sound. Luckily can be disabled, luckily.

Overall I do recommend this printer despite for what seems a long list of cons. Nothing that can’t be worked around for the most part.

Produkt und Händler i.O.
Anfangs war alles super – tolle Druckergebnisse und einfache Handhabung. Leider ist bei meinem Produkt der Lfter am Extruder nach knapp 2 Monaten defekt gewesen. Der Hndler hat schnell geantwortet und reagiert und es konnte alles problemlos abgewicket werden.

Fantastic !!!!
I built a 3d printer a few years ago but it was not without its problems and printing was far from easy. This ready built and enclosed printer is just amazing. Works straight out the box on default settings with the Flashforge supplied filament. I did purchase another Flashforge branded filament and had issues with it adhering to the glass bed, however after putting a layer of painters masking tape on the bed, every print has worked flawlessly even using non Flashforge filament. Printing in fine mode extends the printing time but it produces really good prints. I can’t put it down, it’s been printing everyday for the last week and is a delight to use. AAA+++

Everything about the Adventurer 3 is excelle
I feel like the reviews are giving the amazon reviews are giving this printer a bad name because they were buying it expecting a 3D printer to be a star trek replicator – they aren’t, they’re still very much a big effort to use and maintain and probably always will be within all of our lifetimes.

That said, this seems to be the most user friendly one on the market. Yes! You still need to maintain it. Yes! You will have lots of failed prints when using different filaments. Yes! One day you will print something and it will be perfect and then the next day you will use the same file and it’ll fail. Yes! You will probably spend more time tinkering with settings in the (very good) provided slicer program. This is 3D printing. It is a hobby – this printer makes it and all round easier to enjoy hobby because of its ease of use, removable, cleanable & reusable print bed and easy to remove nozzle basically eliminates half the trouble most people seem to have.

If you are new to 3D printing and are not worried about or are interested in learning how to produce and edit 3D models in software like TinkerCAD or alike then get this printer, if you want a 3D printer you can download something from Thingiverse and send it to your printer like a word document and it’ll print perfectly every time, don’t get this printer and don’t get any 3D printer.

Great for beginners!
As a beginner myself I have had a great time using the Flashforge Adventurer 3 Lite.

It was so simple to use, very clear manual, and even the buttons on the printer were easy as well.
You will have to buy extra fillament, as I didn’t get much fillament at the start.
Enough for around 6 prints

the prints were really good, and the pretty high quality.
I tried some harder prints, and they didnt turn out as perfect, but that’s most likely because I didn’t slice them properly.

Even the software on this product was awesome and simple.

All in all, Flashforge did a good job.

Don't hesitate
The Adventurer 3 was recommended by a friend, I’m new to 3D printing.
It’s just amazing. The bed size is slightly small but I haven’t found it an issue and makes the overall size very compact.
It takes the Flashforge 500 gram spools and, for me, they last for ages. I use PET G as my default filament and have no problems.
I did have an issue initially when trying to remove the ‘model’ from the print bed when finished and found the best solution was the ‘glue stick’ method, to coat the print bed first.
The easiest way to remove the print bed is to let it cool down, push down in the centre with one hand, with the model still in place, and pull on the front catch of the bed at the same time with the other.

The most difficult decision was what 3D design software to use. After trying numerous, including Tinkercad, I ended up using Microsoft 3D Builder. I found it very intuitive to use and love the clean uncluttered presentation. It also has the ability to import images. If I’m making a holder for something that has a complex shape I take a photo to get the outline and import. It makes the design work so much easier.

Hours of endless fun and practical too

Good entry Level printer.
This is the third 3d printer I own and I’m pleased to say I am impressed.

I have owned other printers in the last and found they have all failed prematurely but due to the lockdown downtime I took a punt on this one.

The Machine is well built and prints perfect each time.

One of the best things you can do if convert it to use a Eod Nozzle instead of the included one. I have also converted it to use a glass bed.

The downsides are;

No filament detector has not once Worked unfortunately.

ABS printing I have found difficult with this machine.

Small 150 x 150 build volume.

Levelling of the bed is difficult.
