The Flashforge Adventurer 5M, an entry-level 3D printer, is currently available for $131.79 as part of an early Black Friday sale on AliExpress. This price includes free shipping when the coupon code "DBDEAL30" is applied, marking a significant reduction from its $249 retail price on Amazon. The printer is being sold through FlashForge's official store on AliExpress and ships from a US warehouse, ensuring delivery within a week with no additional import fees.
The Adventurer 5M is highlighted as a strong performer for its budget price point, described by IGN as the "best 3D printer priced below $150." It features a CoreXY structure, typically found in more expensive models, which improves print speed and precision by keeping the motors stationary while the print head moves. The printer offers a build volume of approximately 8.7 inches cubed. While it comes with an open chamber, an optional kit to enclose it is available for $39.99.
Flashforge claims the Adventurer 5M can achieve print speeds of up to 600mm/s with 20,000mm/s² acceleration, capable of printing a Benchy model in about 14 minutes. It is equipped with a high-flow nozzle that can reach 200°C in 35 seconds. The printer features a durable metal construction, a 4.3-inch color touchscreen, auto-leveling, and vibration compensation, with assembly noted as quick and easy.
