Nice review. The enclosed printers like the Flashforge models are also a good option for schools and clubs where open frame printers are not encouraged. My wife's daily driver is a Flashforge Finder I bought her back in 2018 and that's been a great little printer. She's not into building or upgrading, she just wants to turn the printer on and print something. The Flashforge printers seem well suited for that type of enthusiast.

[@stephencarlton8094]

Review was good. His negative issues seem to be a little insignificant to me and saw it as being a bit knit-picky. Noise doesn't bother me and not a purchase factor but I did find the awareness and suggestions for the sticking issues to be extremely helpful.

[@rasmusbretzinger6539]

I love the attention to detail in your videos!

[@chrisladouceur4093]

HEPA filter won’t stop toxic fumes or smells. It’ll just filter out the small particles

[@kyndred2008]

Do you have a better suggestions,I really like to know

[@Crosslink3D]

It’s a two part filter. Hepa one side, activated charcoal on the other. It should theoretically filter also some toxic gases. But no scientific tests 😉

[@AndrewAHayes]

I have watched quite a few reviews on this printer and Daniel is the first to higlight the levelling and noise issues and the price of the additional proprietary nozzles is outragous, I was set to buy one of these to tide me over until my Prusa XL arrives but I think I will hold out and wait now

[@NETBotic]

Same. Any rumors on the Prusa XL? I'm about to get a rat rig.

[@Adabulldoya]

I’ve seen so many mixed reviews but I went ahead and bought one. Just because of the camera and Wi-Fi it was hard to find another one that had both those for the same price. I figure any issues I could work out

[@ohfr20]

Hello how is it holding

[@FrozenShadoW918]

Excellent review. Thank you for the very thorough research. I am looking to buy my first 3D printer. I want something I can rely on for consistency and ease of use. This printer is decent enough but for some reason I’m just not sold.

[@nice2care]

Thank you for the review. What is the best (ready to go) 3D printer at this price range? Thank you

[@SteveH-TN]

Thanks for sharing this message. This printer is probably not for me. Have used 3D printers at Make Nashville (Tennessee) a few years ago. However I am now researching for a printer to use for my model railroading & Amateur Radio , Raspberry Pi hobbies

[@eduardorivero8177]

Hello people, I was thinking of buying the endr 3 v3 plus or the K1, but I just saw an offer for the FLASHFORGE ADVENTURER 4. I didn't know that brand or the printer, anyone who has it or what do you think of the 3 that I mentioned, which one would be chosen? They are selling it to me cheaper than the plus and the K1, thanks

[@zanel1556]

Nice detailed review, I’ve got to say I’m disappointed with the noise levels also, shouldn’t have printers this noisy in 2021, it’s not difficult to get silent steppers, a simple but massive mistake by flashforge in my opinion. I had hoped it would be a plug and play printer for me as I’ve had enough of messing about with printers to get them to work properly however unfortunately this has not been the case with my adv4, quality and stringing issues no matter what I try. I can’t recommend this printer at the price it is, I wouldn’t pay half the amount.

[@mattmace10]

Thats quite disappointing to hear, as i am after a hassle free printer that produces quality prints too.

[@JerseyStyle7]

I just ordered the 4 LITE 👍🏽

[@dcold]

Great, I'm saving up to get it too. I bought the ELEGOO Neptune 2 and the Longer LK1, and both broke on me in less than six months.

[@JoelHaley-z8w]

The part that held my feeder on came broken but doesn’t really matter have ran for many hours

[@AndreyK415]

Based on the print quality in this review, mentioned problems, might as well spend 2.5x and get Qidi I-Fast or Qidi X-CF Pro for 2x which appears to be an order of magnitude better.

[@lgnrome]

how to make the filament come out continually with the nozzle staying in place halfway up without moving up or down or sideways? I just want the filament to come out continually while I hold something in my hand under the nozzle. I have a flashforge adventurer 4 .

[@seeingtheworld3010]

Very good review, so would you suggest in the same price range?

[@Crosslink3D]

Are you looking for a printer ready to go?

[@jrkeyesful]

@@Crosslink3D I have the same question. Yes, I would be looking for a ready to go out of the box

[@B-DINO]

@@jrkeyesful damn, no answer. I have the same question. I appreciate the fact that no one tries to oversell or try to scam/make decisions for you but sometimes it's nice to at the very least get opinions. I want one set up ready to go(preferably), enclosed, filters the smell, is quiet(preferably), and has at the very least all the options that come on the the adventure 4. I just have heard different views on whether it's a solid option but yet to hear anyone say one printer is better than the other or make a comparison.

[@NewVision3160]

I want to make 13 to 16" motu statues. Would this be viable?

[@NastyD90]

Thank you for this! I got this printer and I got problems with Stringing, not sure if it is only the models i have been printing, but all of them got too much stringing. And since it is plug N play how shall i prevent it? I have tried expert settings and increase the print speed and moving speed. Also lowered temp to nozzle at 190. Any other tips?

[@aLiminalThing]

Try to set the retractions distance longer. That might help

[@NastyD90]

@@aLiminalThing already 7,0mm

[@markpeck60]

Try lowering the nozzle temp more, maybe re level the bed

[@jakeenkera9083]

Would you go this or the Ender s1 pro please?

[@ads3453]

So I was looking at this as a potential first 3D printer but having seen lots of people complain about the baseplate calibration being a pain and them having to calibrate it repeatedly its starting to put me off. I do however like the enclosure and everything ready to go type setup. Can you or someone recommend some alternatives to this one that is in the same configuration that doesn't have these faults ?

[@dannyburton9919]

you should do calibration checks often anyway because issues arise with all printers. Constantly checking is a good habit to have is all I'm saying

[@reprinted3D]

Where did you find that skull model?

[@object1084]

I would love to know how to get the touch screen out mine broke

[@blake_schwanke]

My guess for two nozzles would be one is ptfe lined. Like I said its just a guess I don't know for sure.

[@ZingZingNZ]

Is this with original firmware or the update they released

[@Crosslink3D]

This was with latest firmware at the time of the video release

[@ZingZingNZ]

@@Crosslink3D thank you. I have subscribed. I'm on the fence I want a plug in play as much as I can 3dprinter. As I am busy with my own work. Could you recommend this to someone who is not wanting a upgrade path

[@swede910]

Nice review! Thanks!

[@Crosslink3D]

Always a pleasure!

[@ocean374]

Great video I want a 3d printer but I see they are all garbage I don’t mind paying $1000 but it needs to work I have not yet seen one that it will convince me it’s worth it I want one for mechanical parts thanks

[@Crosslink3D]

Prusa I3 would be my recommended printer for budget just under 1000.

[@ocean374]

Thank you

[@ocean374]

Thank you for the info

[@mactastic144]

I want an fully enclosed printer, but the bed leveling, and bad quality camera turned me away. Creality doesn’t have 3D printers with swappable nozzles, and Ethernet.

[@Crosslink3D]

Maybe get the RRF mainboard with WLAN and build and enclosure yourself with IKEA LACK tables?

[@klarik01]

How would you modify it?

[@Crosslink3D]

I would not except swapping out the build plate for a pei coated sheet, which I did.

[@cr_macca]

Oh god, see your build plate. You must've not set the levelling correctly! Your extruder has been scraping your build plate crazily, I had that problem when I first got my adventurer 3. Which caused a clicking problem and destroyed the build plate, minimal damage to the extruder.

[@Crosslink3D]

You are correct, I scratched the build plate with improper leveling. Unfortunately, that can happen quite easily on this printer but I replaced it now with a PEI coated sheet, which I will show in a new video soon!

[@techtalk7018]

It's really not much bigger or that big at all. Only small to medium prints mostly. Mine was a grand from flash forge and never actually printed still won't. 100s of emails with aftersales just to realize no one's actually going to help me besides offering firmware to update even if it's already been done. Or asking if the nossle is clogged even tho I took videos with 3 brand new nossles and showing me unload and reload the filament and dripping out. Hrs daily for over a month literally consumed my life trying to fix it just to realize I wasn't sent one to review I paid for it so it's always been an oven sized paper weight. Wasted opportunity i should of chose better. Like qidi max even cr10 max. And prob would of save money or ended up with better quality machine. I saw 2 other companies with the exact same printer for sale voxelmaker maker bot. Idk if they were made better but exact same machine down to the firmware used to print.

[@makewithmegma]

🔥💕😍👌👍

[@durtydeedsREI]

It seemed like you wanted to hate this from the beginning. For $700, those prints look good and there is a bunch of positives of this printer. Good Lord man, you start off with how it's so massive in the box blah blah. How about it's already put together? Did you mention that? No. The camera isn't as good as a webcam...yeah, no crap...it's not supposed to be.

[@B-DINO]

There's been updates to make some of these things better (I've heard). I appreciate an in-depth review and all but I want a comparison to something else if his opinions are that it sucks over-all. What doesn't suck that is comparable?

[@philjamieross107]

900.00 euro = 1200.00 Canadian

[@Crosslink3D]

Poor Canadians, seems all is more expensive for you 😟

[@13Uzamakifan]

BRO SAID TURN RAFTS OFF THEN COMPLAINS ABOUT THE PRINT NOT STICKING

[@tooncraft3d]

you got it for free and you expect us to believe you are going to give us an honest review? Ok sure

[@fdfdfdodo3506]

Please don't buy this printer. Its price is seriously high. At this price, you can buy three printers with the same printing effect.

[@cagataytezsezen]

This machine has too many issues. Keep away from it. We bought one for our technical office, we got tired of fixing its wifi issues, returned back. I have never seen an ethernet card which forgets its MAC adress before. This crab does it, no idea how!!

[@NC700_68]

that much money and not even possible to add bed calibration....... not buying. period.

[@baxrok2.]

For the money, that thing is a disgrace.

[@MrHristoB]

Great!! Another i3 clone in an enclosure... If chinese would've put some extra effort cloning let's say, any coreXY motion system, this would've been a printer worth considering. Nice honest review though..

[@B-DINO]

The difference is that this comes fully-built, has an air filtered enclosure, easy-use touchscreen, etc. Lots of things that don't come standard with the I3. If you were to upgrade an I3 to offer what this one is advertised to be able to do then you'd double the price of an I3. That being said; the adventure 4 seems to have fallen short of expectation from quality of appliance, quality of prints, ease of use, and overall filament versatility.

[@no_handle_required]

they should have spent some of that camera money on making the parts more robust. Looks a little cheap.

[@Crosslink3D]

Well, it's quite robust. I just got the printer back from a friend who had it for a year. Looks pretty good still.
