Review on Flashforge Adventurer 3D Printer with Detachable Precision Leveling System by German Diaz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Big disappointment!

I chose this printer for a number of reasons. I liked that it came fully assembled, had a camera to view your prints online, was closed and somewhat kid friendly, had wireless capabilities, and reviews said it had excellent print quality. Only 2 of all these things were correct. Just understand that if you buy this product, you will do extensive research on its Wi-Fi issues. It connects to Wi-Fi, but not wirelessly! If you can't connect it to Flashcloud, you can't use the live camera. Why in gods name do I have to watch a video later of my printer printing from an SD card!? They distort it drastically! Bed leveling is easy but not automatic, you need to calibrate it. I had it for 4 days and spent all 4 days getting it to work so I didn't have to return it. The instructions are minimal at best, and if you don't feel comfortable examining every little detail, know that this printer isn't for you. I don't want any more, to be honest I'm very skeptical about the whole company right now. Revain tech support couldn't help me, Flashforge tech support (if you can reach them by phone) has limited support for third party purchases. This got me very frustrated and now I worry that if I buy another printer from Amazon (this company will also have limited tech support which doesn't make sense) it's still their product, not the last thing you'll buy have bought it. . I don't know if only this machine is defective, but after googling it seems to be a very common problem with the Adventurer 3 and all of these suggestions didn't work. Before purchasing Google Adventurer 3, please solve your wireless connection problems by yourself.
