FlashForge Adventurer 3 Pro 3D printer

The Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro is a fully enclosed FDM 3D printer that has a plethora of useful functions. Being an iteration of the Adventurer 3, the Pro version has virtually the same characteristics as the original one, but sports a carbon silicon crystal glass build plate making for an even better flatness and preventing warping issues. Another notable upgrade is the presence of an extra 265 °C nozzle, which is perfect for printing ABS, PETG, and PC. Other smart features remain the same: auto bed leveling, filament detection, resume printing, Wi-Fi and cloud connectivity, built-in HD camera, noise-free operation.

The Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro is ideal for household use, prototyping, 3D printing education and training. Take a look at a couple of models printed with the device. Although the quality of the second image (Loki’s head) leaves much to be desired, it is still obvious that the printer did a great job.

Print quality

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

The Flashforge Adventurer 4 comes with a 240/265 °C nozzle bundle. While 265 °C should be used for printing with ABS-type materials, 240 °C is perfect for PLA. The diameter of the nozzle is 0.4 mm, which gives you the best balance between speed and detail. The nozzles can heat up to 200 °C in only one minute.

The print head runs on rods with linear bearings, making the design more simple, lightweight, and effective.

Materials

The Flashforge Adventurer 3 Pro prints with PLA, ABS, PETG, PC, and other materials.

The extruder comes with a turbofan for printing PLA-type materials. The fan cools down the model during printing, which reduces warping and stringing issues.

The Adventurer 3 Pro has both a heated bed and an enclosed print chamber, which means it can deliver some really quality outputs when printing ABS.

The build area of the machine is 150 x 150 x 150 mm (5.9 x 5.9 x 5.9 inches). This will suit small and medium-sized models; larger ones can be printed in parts and then assembled using acetone (for ABS) or glue (for PLA).

Printer controls

The printer is controlled via a 2.8-inch touchscreen featuring an easy-to-use and clear interface. Other options include using the remote cloud application and PC.

The Adventurer 3 Pro features USB, Wi-Fi, and SD card connectivity, making for an effortless standalone operation.

The printer is recommended to be used with FlashPrint, the company’s proprietary slicer. It works with 3MF, STL, OBJ, FPP, BMP, PNG, JPG, and JPEG file formats. The printer software runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
