Wait...i didnt realize this video was made by the company that makes these 3d printers... YOU have my respect!! I bought a older fosook 3d printer as my first and honestly i wasnt impressed with it being my 1st ever printer so i seen a review on the adventure 5m and was amazed how beginner friendly it is. So i got it arriving today and today i found this video on the enclosure! Thank you for proving this upgrade stl and video for free!! You have my respect sir! Thank you for being an outstanding company that cares for the customer's!!!

[@mpolr21]

Thank you! This is very cool and this is my first 3D printer. I'm glad I chose your company, seeing that you do such things for your customers.

[@flashforge3d]

Glad you like it!

Glad you like it!

[@ArnookieVR]

The enclosure printed out fantastically and works great. 😊

[@MrMoralHazard]

I really like the idea of printing the enclosure for a printer myself and appreciate the open nature of the flashforge printers (full klipper etc.). However I would love to see a version that had significantly lower noise levels and proper air filtration.

[@flashforge3d]

[@insertfunnycaptionhere9724]

Nice job Flashforge! I just ordered both the M5 and the M5 pro. I currently have a finder 3 along with several creality printers and I have to say that the finder is by far my favorite printer for the quality, speed, and ease of use. I have had several printers over the years and owning a flashforge has always been the "benz" of printers for me. I am looking forward to my M5 and pro. I will be printing the enclosure for the M5 first, any idea of when the kit will be available? If not I am confident that I can precure the pieces needed, but I feel that flashforge provided parts are better.

[@flashforge3d]

Thank you for your support. The kit will be available soon, please stay tuned!

[@design8studio]

The termination of the cable chain (drag chain) seems to have been way over complicated. Both the 100% DIY approach and the "kit" approach (with a replacement of the top of the hot end) seem unnecessarily complicated. The shoulder screw for additional pivoting at the hot end seems unnecessary, and it seems that the same concept was undertaken by whoever designed the 100% DIY solution as well. A simpler approach of a final chain-link piece with a modified end for rigidly attaching to the hot end should be fine. I am undertaking to design such.

[@flashforge3d]

That's great. Looking forward to your design.😊

[@design8studio]

I'm a new customer of your company, and a huge fan of your AD5M printer. I developed an easier, simpler way to connect the cable chain of the DIY enclosure. The design is available free on Printables. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2qwf3yqadV0lbs
