General info

file formats

STL, OBJ, 3MF

STL, OBJ, 3MF

The file formats supported by the 3D printer.
weight

10.8kg

14.6kg

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
Uses fused deposition modeling (FDM)
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Printers based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) use a thermoplastic filament, which is heated to its melting point and then extruded through a nozzle, layer by layer, to create the object. One of the main advantages of printers based on FDM is that they work with a wide range of materials.
Uses stereolithography (SLA)
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Printers based on stereolithography (SLA) use a tank of liquid photopolymer resin and a high-powered light source, which is used to harden the material in the tank, one cross section at a time, until the object is created. Printers based on SLA usually have high printing speeds and can produce objects with a smooth finish.
Uses selective laser sintering (SLS)
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Printers based on selective laser sintering (SLS) use a powerful laser to heat and fuse plastic, metal or ceramic powder particles together, layer-by-layer, to form a solid model. The main advantage of SLS printing is that it can produce objects with complex geometries, using a wide variety of materials.

Components

Creates support structures
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The printer will automatically build extra structures to support the item as it is printing. The extra support can then be easily removed.
Has a heated build platform
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
A heated build platform helps keep the lowest levels of a print warm as the higher layers are printed. This allows the overall print to cool more evenly.
1.75mm filament diameter
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The 1.75mm filament diameter is gradually overtaking the previous 3mm standard. The 1.75mm filament feeds into the printer with greater ease and allows for more detail in the printing process.
nozzle size

0.4 mm

0.4 mm

The smaller the nozzle, the more detailed the final product can be. However, when speed of printing is of greater importance than detail, a larger nozzle may be preferable.
3D print speed

600 mm/s

300 mm/s

The speed at which 3d objects are printed, measured in millimeters per second.
More extruder heads allow you to use different colors and different types of material at the same time. A second extruder is also required to build PVA/PLA support structures around items as they are printed.

Materials

prints with PET
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
It can print using PET (polyethylene terephthalate).
Prints in PLA
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Polylactic acid (PLA) is popular in 3D printing as it cools and sets quickly. Unlike ABS plastic, it is biodegradable and therefore better for the environment. It can be used to build support structures for other printouts, as it can then be dissolved leaving no marks.
Prints in full color
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Similar to regular 2D printers, this type of 3D printer mixes different colors between cartridges. This process allows the printer to reproduce the color spectrum, therefore allowing you to print in almost any color.
Prints in HIPS
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The printer is able to print in High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS). HIPS is similar to ABS plastic, but uses different solvents (limonene rather than acetone). HIPS is easy to paint and glue.
Prints in ABS plastic
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The printer prints in ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). This is up to 30 times stronger than regular plastic and is commonly used in 3D printing.
Prints in PVA
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Polyvinyl Acetate is another form of plastic used in 3d printing similar to ABS. It can be used to build support structures for other prints, as it can then be dissolved leaving no marks.
prints with paper
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The printer is able to print in paper. 3D printing in paper involves an additive process whereby a laser cuts each layer of paper into the correct shape to create the final model. Paper 3D printed objects have a similar consistency to wood.
Prints in wood
Flashforge Adventurer 5M
Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
The printer is able to print in wood. This typically involves printing using a mixture of wood particles and a binding agent, which dries as solid wood.
