The FlashForge Adventurer 3 is an FDM consumer-grade 3D printer. Thanks to its affordable cost and user-friendliness, it is a perfect entry-level 3D printing device. Indeed, it offers a range of smart features mainly aimed at user convenience and functionality. The easily detachable hotbed, the built-in camera, the auto-leveling and the filament feeding system make it ideal for beginners and students. It is a fully enclosed printer with a minimalist design. It is really quiet. Operating at 42 dB, it is suitable for small spaces. FlashForge users have already used it to create 3D models for studying, architectures and ornaments.

The FlashForge Adventurer 3 is an FDM 3D printer that can print layers at 100 microns. The surface finish is not as smooth as you get with the more expensive printers, but is more than enough for prototyping and household use.

FlashForge Adventurer 3 prints with ABS, PLA, TPU and other materials.
The extruder comes with a turbofan and air guide for printing with PLA-type materials. By cooling the model down, it reduces warping, stringing and, generally, makes for higher quality prints.
Unlike many FDM printers, the FlashForge Adventurer 3 has a flexible and detachable heated print bed and a closed print chamber, which means it can reliably print with ABS-type materials.
It is a great opportunity to start printing some useful, durable upgrades for your printer, including a new spool holder for example.
