Connect the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro to SimplyPrint
Does the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro 3D printer work with SimplyPrint, OctoPrint, Mainsail and Fluidd?
Each way of connecting it, what it needs, and how to set it up.
SimplyPrint Client
Compatible
What you need: A computer or Raspberry Pi on the same network that stays on, running the SimplyPrint Client
Connected through Klipper (Moonraker), SimplyPrint supports most of what it offers on the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: the camera and AI failure detection, remote printing, skipping objects, temperature and movement control and AutoPrint. Not yet in SimplyPrint through Klipper (Moonraker): download the file before the print starts. Not available through Klipper (Moonraker): print sliced 3MF files. The table below compares the two ways of connecting it to SimplyPrint.

What slicer to use for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Use OrcaSlicer, ElegooSlicer, or CrealityPrint: each has a ready-made profile for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro.
Ready-made profile for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
We only list slicers you can use in the SimplyPrint cloud, so there may be others for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro.
Cloud-Based Slicer for Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: Use OrcaSlicer Online
Use OrcaSlicer and other slicers - directly in your browser with SimplyPrint's online cloud slicer. No installation required. Slice your Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro models from any device, anywhere in the world!
Automatic Profile Updates: Profiles are automatically checked and fetched from the slicer GitHub repositories every day, as well as from our own open-source community-driven slicer profile database. This ensures you always have access to the latest profiles.
Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.
The app for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Use SimplyPrint as the app for your Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: watch and run it from your phone or any browser, slice in the cloud, and keep it next to your other printers. It's free to start. Flashforge's own app is Flash Studio.
There's no plate swapper or auto-ejection kit for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro in SimplyPrint yet, but AutoPrint can still keep it printing: once the plate is clear, it starts the next job from your queue.
Enclosed printers push their prints out
The Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro's bed only moves up and down inside its enclosure, so instead of swapping plates, a push-off routine lets the toolhead push the cooled print off the plate and out through its front door, which has to be open while it runs. Some printers won't print with the door open (the Prusa CORE One has a door sensor), so check yours first.
Ways to automate it
Push prints off with the toolheadOn a CoreXY printer, a G-code routine can push the cooled print off the front of the plate before the next job starts.
Your own ejection G-codeWrite the routine that clears your plate, and AutoPrint runs it after every print.

What filament can the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro print?
Filament compatibility for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure.
Filament
Suitability
Notes
PLA
Great
The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required.
PETG
Great
Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed).
TPU & flexibles
Great
The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results.
ABS & ASA
Great
Enclosed, with a hot enough hotend and bed: ABS and ASA print well.
Nylon (PA)
Good
Doable with care - dry the filament thoroughly, and an enclosure helps a lot.
Polycarbonate (PC)
Good
In range for PC. Dry the filament, print slowly, and use an enclosure for the best results.
Carbon-fiber & glass-filled
With care
Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle.
Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
Best filament for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro
Filaments the Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro prints well, Flashforge's own first, then the best known.
Fully enclosed 220 mm CoreXY with direct drive and air filtration, very fast on paper, but launch software holds it back: one profile per nozzle in FlashPrint 5, auto-leveling that failed on some attempts, a TPU jam and a 640x480 webcam. Fits prosumers willing to tinker.
“While the hardware is impressive on paper, the overall experience of using the machine is seriously held back by the initial software experience at launch.”
Aurora Tech · November 26, 2023
Calls it one of the best fully enclosed printers around 500-600 dollars on hardware (quick-swap hotend, enclosure that holds heat, handles ABS and PA-CF), but the FlashPrint software is only average and wireless printing is tied to it. Sponsored by Flashforge (disclosed).

Flashforge (Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology) is a Chinese 3D printer maker founded in 2011. It sells the Adventurer 5M and 5M Pro CoreXY printers, the AD5X multi-colour printer and the Creator series, plus resin and wax printers, to customers ranging from hobbyists to businesses.

Flashforge is mixed: the Adventurer 5M runs Klipper with published source and works in a LAN mode with open slicers, but the stock system is closed to modification and its app relies on the cloud.
Firmware and custom firmware ●●●●●
The Adventurer 5M series runs Klipper, and Flashforge published its Klipper source on GitHub under GPL-3.0 in January 2024. The stock system is not built to be modified: the community 'Klipper Mod', which adds Moonraker, Mainsail and Fluidd, is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty.
[1][2]
Local control and integrations ●●●●●
A LAN mode lets Orca-Flashforge send jobs on the local network, and USB printing works offline. The Flash Maker app needs internet and a Flashforge account and does not connect in LAN mode. Flashforge documents no local API for other software. Moonraker with Mainsail or Fluidd comes only with the community Klipper Mod, which is unofficial and warns that it may cost the warranty.
[3][4][2]
Third-party filament, slicers and parts ●●●●●
Third-party filament works; Orca-Flashforge is an open-source OrcaSlicer fork and OrcaSlicer itself supports Flashforge printers. Nozzles are sold as complete printer-specific assemblies.
[5][6][7]
Repairs and spare parts ●●●●●
Flashforge sells nozzle, extruder, filament-feeding and touchscreen assemblies for the Adventurer 5M, and its wiki has replacement guides, for example the AD5X extruder board.
[7][8]
Community and documentation ●●●●●
A wiki with manuals, FAQs and maintenance guides, and slicer and Klipper sources on GitHub; much of the advanced use comes from the community mod.
[3][1][2]
Pros
Long-established maker, founded in 2011.
LAN mode and USB printing work without the cloud.
Klipper source and an open-source slicer are published.
Common replacement assemblies are sold for the Adventurer 5M.
Cons
Stock firmware is not meant to be modified; deeper control needs an unofficial community mod.
The Flash Maker app needs internet and an account, and does not work in LAN mode.
Nozzles are sold as complete printer-specific assemblies.
Track record
January 2024: Flashforge published the Klipper source for the Adventurer 5M and 5M Pro on GitHub under GPL-3.0.
