EVERY SINGLE EDIT HAS BEEN TO FIX A TYPO OR GRAMMATICAL ERROR THAT I FAILED TO NOTICE BEFORE POSTING I mean no offence or malice by posting this long list of comments, observations & ramblings. I made my notes as I watched your review while getting ready to go out. I'm 41 years old, I don't go much anymore! I went out with the lads & came home shit faced so bare with me! I've done my best to decipher & translate the scrawling's I found around the sacred temple (my computer desk). I think most of the symbols mean beer. All jokes aside, I'm not an uneducated "troll" trying to cause problems. I've had many different 3D printers over the years & do enjoy watching reviews of the latest technology. I do my research on a unit I want to purchase. I have jumped the gun this time, my 5M Pro is being delivered anytime now & I will update ASAP. I currently have the Adventurer 3 Lite but it's not big enough! Just like my wife, I want bigger! I have edited some words & phrases out to keep it PG :) Most helmets are printed in sections due to the different external textures required & different colours. Your helmet argument/comparison/analogy was kinda wasted. That "titanium blue" filament looks amazing! You start the 'Print Volume' section of this video "01:33 - 05:58", complaining about the small build volume available from a "small form factor printer". At 03:00 you start talking about running the printer non-stop & you say, I quote "for uh, just small items to be honest, uh, because there's nothing really in my arsenal that I can fit on here that's rather large." You should always run a print that utilises the maximum build volume, you need to know where the fuck ups happen. 03:22 you start talking about "batch" & "print farm" capabilities which makes my previous statement seriously sketchy if not completely void! The joys of making notes while getting ready to go out & coming home drunk to do a "live react" from my notes & posting it in the comments! 04:00 - 05:00 really sorry but, meh, it's a benchy lmao. I've never trusted a "scraper" from a supplied source. My 7 year old daughter saw the fidget spinner & wants 27 in different colours! 06:00ish you are talking about firmware updates blah blah blah (no offence but I'm not typing all of that out!). I will, if you are receptive, film my unboxing, initial setup & my first calibration/setup print. I'll document everything good or bad as a direct compare to your review 6 months ago. Let me know :) The airflow/filtration system is fucking crazy! I've had MSLA printers (resin) that had no airflow or filter, it smelt bad! I've had resin printers with filters & they weren't great either. The camera quality & functionality is widely disputed!!! It's not something I will use so I won't comment on it now or report back on it. The flex plate is another area that has vastly different reports. I can only comment on what I have seen in videos so far. People complaining that adhesion to the flex plate is really poor are the same people that post videos that clearly show crap all over the flex plate. I've seen videos that clearly show what looks like grease, oil, dust, dirt & even pubic hair on a "fully cleaned & prepared build plate" then they moan about adhesion! Everyone loves the ease of alignment & removal though, so simple & easy. I assume the hiccup & miscommunication between auto bed levelling & printing direct over Wi-Fi/Network is when using Flash Print 5? The quick change nozzle system is amazing! I believe the 0.6mm nozzle you get is hardened. Please check before you quote me. FlashForge do use proprietary hardware & software, they are very secret squirrel about things. BUT they provide amazing products at a sensible price. 4 years ago I paid £500 for a build it yourself thing that never worked. I might have loaded a file that made it run so fast it shook itself apart. Despite all my previous comments, observations & ramblings. Thanks for a fantastic video that gives a good, honest & concise review. I've watched about 10 reviews so far, they were all a bit pompous & prissy, almost 'scripted'. You were real & honest which makes a huge difference. Just to compare how cost stacks up. I paid £399 for my 5M Pro ($525) 2 days ago on Amazon (UK).

Love this printer...it's also our first. We loved it so much we just ordered another lol
The .6 and .8 nozzles are hardened.
fantastica review!! gracias por tus videos
I need a 3d printer for prototyping and one of mainly small items ! I have used flash forge for almost 8 years at work !
Thank for sharing. Hope i can get one soon.
Any adhesion issues?
Can you not add the auto level gcode in the machine gcode so that it starts?
you forgot the links, my dude. Good video.
