Flashforge AD5M Refurbished 3D Printer

I swear I just got a new printer. Comparing this refurbished flashforge printer to the refurbished resin anycubic printer, I would have swore flashforge sent me a brand new printer. I was expecting there to be a scratch here or there, remnants of old filament, or even possibly needing to buy new stuff for it. I opened the box and the thing is beautiful, no fingerprints, no marks, no remnants. Just beautiful. It prints like a dream and so far I've had no issues. Very impressed

Consistent, Reliable Workhorse. Just added another AD5M to my setup, and it continues to impress. The machine is incredibly sturdy and delivers excellent print quality right out of the box

Works right out of the box.. My 3rd 3d printer in 10 years and by far and away the best. Fitting the ribbon cable was a bit fiddly and the software/setup took a little patience but... Once I registered and paired it with the website - the printing - which is why you get one... perfect. I did buy fillament from Flashforge too - but the device with its self calibration is just great. Quiet, fast and accurate. I could not ask for more

My first ad5m. Good 3d printing work fast and don’t give any problems compared to another brands

Review of refurbished 5M. For a week I have been using the 5M and the product performs as well as my printers from other manufacturers. Setup was quick. After performing a manual print bed tram the print quality is very good. The compact footprint of the machine make it easy to place anywhere. I added a main power switch the the front of the machine for easier access. The performance for the cost of this refurbish is outstanding

Refurbished Product Review. Shipping was awful. Took extra contact to event get shipped. Device was received. Packing was great. However, device was not factory reset. Previous user was still logged in. Device has “kinks” but working through them. Overall, customer service is lacking

Good 3D printer with some issues. Have had some problems making successful prints so far. I have had problems with feathering and jamming. I had to employ a heater/dryer to help with the prints. Had some problems with adhesion, but that was mostly my fault getting used to using Orca Flash. All in all it's a good printer. May upgrade soon to the 5DX or a Bambu Labs 4 color printer

The printer is amazing. This printer works beyond my expectations it’s super fast, out of the box and printing in at least 10 minutes. You will see I only gave 4 stars that’s because customer service is beyond terrible other then the those people the product is perfect

fast delivery. I will check back at Christmas. It was a gift for grandson

Love it enough to give one away. I have owned a 5M before and loved it so much that I purchased this one for a friend to give to his kids so they can learn 3d printing too

Great deal, excellent printer. The refurbished price makes this an incredible deal. The three month warranty takes the risk away. The performance was just as good as a brand new version

Muchmore of an upgrade than I expected. I needed to upgrade form a more basic brand and saw this deal for refurbished AD5Ms at a terrific price. The timing was right and the price was right where I wanted to be! I took the plunge after reading and watching online reviews and expected to be happy with the purchase. The short take is, I no longer wanted this to be a hobby, I wanted the machine to work without my having to do repetitive and iffy manual calibrations. The 5M has pre-programmed bed-levelling and Z-offsets, and the process takes significantly less time. The 5M prints much cleaner and with much tighter registration than I anticipated, especially given how fast the print head moves, and it has so far delivered a number of very clean prints that my old machine would not be as readily up to the task for. I was already familiar with Orca Slicer and was starting to use it anyhow, so transitioning into Orca FlashForge was easy. I'm a bit of a Luddite and still prefer to transfer my files manually via the USB so I haven't used the wifi except for a firmware update. I had heard from a number of reviews that the filament swapping process was a bit harder and seemed wasteful, but I find it's much easier and intelligent than the old machine. I've done swap-outs a number of times so far and find the process very smooth and intelligent. If I had a gripe or two, they would be to place the on/off switch on the side or front and allow for placing the control screen toward the bottom of the machine as opposed to the top. These are minor quibbles though, and undoubtedly my 3D printing game has evolved upward from this experience. One last observation... I really get a kick out of watching this thing fly! It's so fast I can't believe the prints come out with such absolute precision. Well done, FlashForge, well done!
