Final update: As you can see from the whole message, initially there was massive disappointment when receiving this item. Fortunately it seems to have been a rare isolated incident. FlashForge has proven to have OUTSTANDING customer service/ support. They made sure I received the full refund and without waiting a month for Amazon to go through the slow process. They also offered troubleshooting solutions, which unfortunately didn’t help with this specific printer. Furthermore I spent my morning with a buddy who finally unboxed his FlashForge printer of the same model and we have been making prints together non-stop. We were set up and printing in about 15 minutes. Unlike the damaged one I received, the printer heats quickly and runs smooth. The auto level is excellent. It is so user friendly that a child can figure it out. So far today all prints have been successful and we’ve been having lots of fun. Helpful tips to get started: You can edit all the specifications after downloading the computer program.. and it is simple. (Download free prints from Printables.com or Thingiverse.com etc.) once you unzip files and open them in FlashForge you can easily choose size/scale and choose if you want it to create stands and/or a base which really help with most builds. There is a sidebar on the right hand side of the program and scrolling over each option explains what it is for. Knowing that I was refunded in full and the issues were due to damages with that specific device, I will be continuing and looking forward to doing business with FlashForge. (Opening a different model today). The quality customer service and quality product outshines their competitors for sure. Original review: Incredibly disappointed. Massive letdown.. Incredibly disappointed. Even worse, my child was let down. I’m hoping this was a problem with the individual printer but after the initial few preprogrammed prints.. not one print has been successful. Even some of the preprogrammed ones stopped working. I watched what seems like every tutorial, thinking I was doing something wrong. I wasn’t. This printer is designed specifically to be easy to understand and assemble. Unfortunately, the filament would randomly stop feeding, but the printer would continue as if it was printing. So after 35 minutes of printing.. it would stop feeding for 10-30 seconds if not completely.. making the entire print a waste. Wasted a LOT of time, wasted lots of filament, wasted all this money and lead to constant let downs. There was also a major issue with prints not sticking to the tray bed and getting lifted and taken for a ride.. taking it out of the precise location and also tangling it up when I tried very basic single and/multi-part prints. (Yes, even with the glue that they specifically provide to avoid this.) On top of that and other issues like seemingly poor heating, it doesn’t seem to be capable of printing anything that’s not just a reshaped brick. You can build the same stuff with Play-Doh molds.. I am sending it back for a refund and will most definitely be reviewing the process. I truly hope that this company will give me the full refund and takes care of their loyal customers. I am truly hoping this was a one time thing and that I have no issues with future products. — Update 1: Amazon FlashForge seller contacted me and offered a full refund. Considering many factors I don’t know if this will truly be honored/issued. They later sent a troubleshooting message. However, by then I had already tried everything and I had someone who 3D prints for a living come look at it. I was assured I need a refund. I was also told not to replace the wasted filament with my own money. If that affects the refund, then legal action will be taken (cost free for me). I purchased at least 11 spools of FlashForge brand filament, which were not cheap, and another expensive printer (from their website) which I will not open unless/until I receive full refund for this one. How they treat loyal customers will speak volumes. Which is important, especially when investing in a company with so many competitors. At this time, multiple people and two businesses (whom do big YouTube reviews on products they purchase and use) are awaiting results. I hope to and would love to come back with great news of a company that outshines the rest because the alternative would be me left disappointed and them dealing with the results of bad business. I am frustrated and concerned due to the amount of people getting ripped off online these days.

Lengthy… I apologize. I purchased this after spending several weeks researching 3D printers. Their price points are all over the place and, as to be expected, the more features they have the more expensive they run. The initial reason for wanting a 3D printer is to make custom cutters for polymer clay. After reading dozens of reviews for different printers, I decided that this model from Flashforge would meet our needs and allow for more complicated projects in the future. It arrived the day after I ordered it (yay, Prime). Nice heavy duty box and excellent packing so it arrived in pristine condition. It is an impressive looking piece of equipment and seems to be well built. Unboxing and setup took about 30 minutes and was relatively painless. The relative part came with things that even the FlashForge website doesn’t make clear. So, I’ll have a go at it. There is a fair amount of software you need. The Flashforge website has flashy descriptions of what these do but does not really say what you need to get started. To begin with, you need FlashMaker. This is an app for iPhone, iPad, or an Android device. It is available from the app stores for the related devices. You will not be able to set up the printer without it as you have to make an account to register it and finish the setup. Once you have it, the setup is fairly straightforward and the display/touch screen on the printer guides you through the process easily. It did take a few tries to get it attached to the WiFi network but patience paid off. In the full disclosure department, we am newbies. So there was the need for a 3D application that we could use to create the projects to send to the printer. We didn’t want to spend a fortune on this and after looking at all the options, I found TinkerCAD for the iPad. It is an Autodesk product (think AutoCAD), is web based (though the is an app in the Apple App Store for the iPad that connects you to where you need to be), and it is free. Granted, I am sure if you are going for heavy engineering type 3D, you probably want a higher end application and most likely a higher end printer. I watched 3 YouTube videos on TinkerCAD and I was creating 3D objects in less than an hour. You can design directly in the app though I’ve taken another route for the time being. You’ll still need this in the process though to create the .STL files you will need later. I also learned how to create designs in Procreate on my iPad that could be exported out as PNG files. These need to be converted to .SVG files to be able to use them in TinkerCAD. There are a number of free web based conversion sites available. Then there is printing. Oh boy! Flashforge talks about a number of software applications on their website but it is very unclear what you need them for. Short answer: the .STL files from TinkerCAD need to be converted to .GX files for the printer to use. The printer comes with a thumb drive (USB A) that contains a Software folder with two applications: FlashPrint 5 and Orca-Flashforge. FlashPrint 5 is, as far as I can tell, a more consumer friendly version with fewer bells and whistles than Orca. Herein is the rub. I do almost all my graphics on my iPad and these applications require a desktop/laptop computer running either Windows, MacOS, or Linux. In my case, I have a MacBook Pro running the latest version of MacOS (Sequoia 15.0.1). Much to my surprise, the applications on the thumb drive, would not install as they were considered legacy version and not compatible with my OS. The versions on the drive were updated as of 04/28/24, which was before the latest version of the MacOS was released. I tried Flashforge’s website and had the same issue. The haven’t updated the installers for the newest version. That’s when the panic set in as I was now looking at an expensive device that I could not use. Fortunately we had an older MacBook Air that we had not updated. It is running MacOS Monterey 12.6.1. Crisis averted and I got the applications installed. I was able to import the .STL file and run the slicer to produce the .GX file for printing. If I had installed Orca, I could apparently send the file to the printer via WiFi (my next project). Using FlashPrint 5, I went old school and downloaded the .GX file to the thumb drive. The printer has a USB A port. Popped in the drive, let the printer warm up, and voila! A 3D object. By the way, the HEPA filtration system on the Pro does a great job of keeping the fumes down. Other than the software installer mess, the process was relatively painless and I must say that is it a deeply satisfying experience to handle your first 3D object. In closing, this is a very cool printer and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a reasonably priced entry level device. Save yourself a world of frustration and make sure you have: 1. Your phone or tablet with Flashmaker installed so you can setup your printer. 2. A computer with the capability of installing FlashPrint 5 and/or Orca-FlashForge* 3. And, of course, a 3D application capable of producing .STL files, which seem to be one of the most common types. Hope this overly long dissertation was helpful. *My guess is the MacOS version prior to Sequoia (MacOS 15) will work based on the dates on the installer files, but that is exactly what it is: a guess). I will be initiating a conversation with Flashforge about getting the installers updated.

I have the worst luck in the world, or these printers are junk. I bought this wanting a good XYCore 3D machine and had seen some really decent to good reviews on them. When I got mine, the packaging was excellent, the structure was sound, the ease of assembly (what little there is) was nice, and finally the setup was painless. However, I managed to do the auto leveling / anti-vibration, I printed a test model from the printer storage and it was nice. I then connected my Orca slicer via WiFi and loaded a model to print to the machine. I watched as it printed the first few layers and it seemed to be doing great. I walked away and was doing other things, but then I heard something that didn't sound good. I turn to look and can't see so I get up to go investigate, before I get to the printer I hear another unpleasant noise. By the time I got to the printer (across the 21 sq foot room), the print was an absolute mess. I proceeded to remove the failed print and checked the print area and the nozzle to make sure all was clear. I was so lost as to why it made such a mess and just figured it was a fluke. I went back to my computer to check the gcode and/or resend it and try again. I removed the prior gcode file, sent the new one, and hit print from my pc. I go to the printer, it performs a nozzle clean moves to 0,0 heats up, and does nothing else. After a few minutes, I canceled the print from the panel on the machine and tried again only to get the same results. I reboot the machine and try again and get the same results, a wipe, a move heating up, and then nothing. So, I go to my PC and load a different print. To my dismay and total dissatisfaction the printer rinses and repeats the above steps. So, I am truly aggiated by now but I stay with it and decide to do a reset on the printer and try again. Walked through the reset and setup and all went well. Got to the point to do a print and nothing! I wrote this long review because I want you to know that my 1-star rating is justified by my experience. So, if you decide to buy this machine, I wish you the best.

Great Starter printer, easy to start making prints the day its delivered. Wish it would stay connected and remember my internet IP instead of typing on a kind of outdated touch screen every time i turn it on, but hey the price and what you get is still there. I would say this a great beginner to Intermediate printer. Orca Flashforge makes slicing as a newbie simple. But save yourself some time and frustration and do your own research on print speed and settings. All the presets provided will make prints for sure, but detail and quality lacks. So if your buying it based on the speed, don't let that trick you when buying a printer. All quality prints take time.

This 3d Printer has been AMAZING. It was my first and my introduction to 3d printing. It's been so smooth and has created many wonderful things. I currently have just over 400 hours of use... and it's only had minor hiccups. First, it doesn't like printing large circles... like, when the circle is getting filled in and the print head is going faster and faster toward the middle. It will get ahead of itself and throw an error that can only be cleared with a restart. The best way to avoid this, is on these specific prints, slow the print speed. Rather simple fix. Only other issue has been the touch screen randomly freezing... it's done it 3-4 times in over 400 hours of use. Very minor and negligible. The venting and circulation fans are awesome. I get zero smell or issue with all filaments. I've done various PLA, multiple different ABS and ASA's, PETG, various carbon fiber and glass fiber filaments, wood PLA... Zero issues. Camera is great. Lighting is great. Very low noise. I can't hear anything with the door closed and in the next room. The print plate is fantastic quality and the size (220x220x220mm) has been more than sufficient. Nozzles are great quality and heat up quickly and consistently.

This is my introduction to 3d printing. The machine has worked perfectly for every job so far. I love it. Connected right up to my network for sending prints from my computer to the printer. It's nice that it came with a usb drive as well for copying prints if I wanted to. Everything looks so good coming out of this printer. Changing filaments is easy, gettibg going only takes minutes. I love the internal air circulation for abs, asa and others, as well as the external circulation for pla. I went with this printer because I wanted to try materials that are a bit harder. On that note: you get a normal 0.4 nozzle AND a 0.6 hardened steel nozzle with it, which is great. Overall I am very happy with my new printer. Before you dive in, take a minute to research various materials and their ideal bed and nozzle temperatures. Most spools also include this on the side of the spool, but i'd still recommend researching what others have their machines set at. This will help you get the most out of your prints.

This is a very nice starter printer, as I’m just getting into 3D printing. It’s is very easy to set up, I was printing within 20 minutes of opening the box. My only gripe with the printer itself, is that it will randomly enter almost a sleep mode? The touch screen and power button become unresponsive and it has to be powered off and back on by the switch on the back. The app is another complaint. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. The connection for video is like a 50/50 if it works. Randomly the printer will show as offline and cannot be connected to through the app, nor orca slicer. A power cycle fixes this however it is a pretty annoying inconvenience, especially as I like to check my prints as I’m away from home. Overall I still do think this is work the money even with the kinks, especially for a beginner. The nozzle and filament are extremely easy and fast to change out. I’ve been almost nonstop printing for nearly like two weeks now, and the only failures have come from user error (usually bad supports, or forgetting to glue the bed).

Rewriting this, because Amazon tried to stop me for 'violating the rules' somehow, because they didn't like the fact that I am pointing out that their product is terrible. The printer, as far as I can tell from the limited prints it's done is fine. - edit, after less than 1 spool the tip got clogged and stopped being able to print anything. This was after less than 10 prints, none of them especially large. The software is clearly written by a [person who is bad at writing software]. For a 'beginner friendly' and 'easy to use' device I spent a decent chunk of $$ on, I expected it to at least function - which it does not. The only way I can print anything is with 3rd party aps that don't communicate well because they're from other brands as every single application this brand gave me has failed to function. Literal garbage software inside a probably decent physical device, which also failed within just a few prints. Add to this that the company is based in China, literally does not have a phone number to reach out to if you need help, you can only attempt customer service via email or a 'leave a message' note section on their website (which they have ignored for me for at least two weeks). I understand this is a cheap and supposed to be 'good.' but I have read enough about the company and dealt with this product just enough to recognize that this is the literal worst purchase I have made on amazon in at least 5 years. Pay a little more, pick any other brand. This product I could not recommend this any less.
