Right now, you can get the Flashforge Adventurer 5M 3D printer for just $239, which is $60 off its usual price of $299. This high-speed printer is fast, with a max speed of 600 millimeters per second. It's accurate, too, and at just $239, it's almost an impulse buy. According to CNET's 3D printer expert James Bricknell, "It would be a great gift for a young person just starting out, or for a school classroom to start students on their journey."
It's compact and a great choice for students or beginners. The Flashforge Adventurer 5M typically costs $299, but thanks to Amazon's Spring Sale, it's discounted by 20%, which knocks $60 off the price. But hurry, the sale ends in two days -- grab it before the price jumps back up or stock runs out.
The Flashforge 5M 3D printer offers 12x ultra-fast printing, maximizing efficiency. Once you're in the world of 3D printing, you'll know why this matters. Depending on the printer's speed, some projects can take hours to complete. So, a faster machine means more cool stuff can be produced in less time. The tech specs are a Core XY structure with 600mm/s travel speed and 20,000mm/s² acceleration.
It also has a few other efficiencies; little things that make a difference when you're printing and changing filaments. There are quick nozzle changes, a high-flow 32mm³/s nozzle, and a fast 35-second warm-up to 280 degrees Celsius, to deliver stable, high-speed printing.
According to James, it's worth noting that the AD5X, the upgrade to the 5M, is just $100 more during the Spring Sale and can print in four colors instead of just one.
