Needed some additional 3-D printing capacity. I have 3 units (Dremel, Snapmaker, generic) and it seemed that at times I have more to print than those units can do. I consider myself a bit more than a novice, but certainly not a pro with 3-D. I do make my own drawings and print the items as well as download a lot from sites like Thingsverse.
The features I liked on this were fairly low price 150 x 150 x 150 print space, enclosed (quieter), ethernet ability. I do not need the absolute best quality for most of my stuff.....and this one spec'ed out to match my needs.
First....out of box to printing test block was less than 10 minutes. Block was pre-loaded, so it was easy. First print was about 11 minutes and ended up dimensionally near perfect. Two other prints (from my files--one thing verse, one mine) loaded via usb stick perfectly. Both were items I have printed previously.....about the same time as printing with my Dremel and dimensionally (and finish) an improvement. 5 items on three prints all have been perfect. Running a "torture test" print now and will up date with those results.
Flexible build plate has made removal of flat pieces easy with no tools.
I am using Flashforge PLA material....small spools that fit into the feeder build into machine. Will feed from larger spools external to machine of other brands later. Their material is pricey.....but it is very good compared to many other.brands....and the machine mount feeder is nice and quite easy to use.
I have used Flashforge downloaded software and it works ok but has limited options. Will use a couple other slicers and update info. The touch screen controls are very simple and intuitive.
For my skill level and expectations, it has been perfect out of box. Will see if longevity is good as well. I would think a new to 3-D printing hobbies will be happy with the machine. I see them getting up to speed with basic stuff quickly. For those like me, just above that level, it is performing well...no fuss and giving nice quality.
I should mention sound. I have enclosures on my other three machines as well...but this one is quieter than the other three.....something that is good for all night prints.
OK.....unit has operated over 200 hours. Most of time using ABS, the rest has been PLA. Two failures out of all that (since original part of review) One was a design issue I created, the other I have not figured out
Quality has been good but not spectacular. Better than the Snapmaker 1.0. I suppose it is due to time and adjustments, but the Dremel can do a bit better than this....but most will not notice the differences. I have tried old and fresh filament, cheap and brand name and it has fed and placed anything I have run through it. Snapmaker is really fussy and Dremel enclosure design provides some issues with using non-dremel internal mount filament
Changing the filament is quicker and easier than any of the other machines I have. Removable flexible heated bedplate seems like a good design, looks new after 200 hours of use.
Would be a nice first choice as the learning curve is not steep. Enclosure makes it quiet. Variety of materials it uses has proven accurate in description.
Still happy with choice. Not the most technical unit....and has some advanced feature limitations but for most users it will be just fine. I have found the 150 x 150 x 150 volume a bit limiting so next unit will exceed that.

This thing is awesome. I have a lot of hobbies and I print brackets and doodads and adapters all the time. I'll think "hey, wish I had a... solder fume extractor" and then pull one down from Thingiverse and bam. I've printed DnD minis, rocket nose cones, parts for quadcopters, household things (like brackets to hang a mirror), etc.
Thoughts:
1. You'll see this in other reviews. Don't worry about the proprietary filament if you can dedicate another 12" of space next to it. Drill a hole midway up the filament door, directly underneath the feed, and put your spool outside on a roller tray.
2. Try ABS on the default settings. This thing prints ABS like a boss, out of the box. The enclosure is apparently everything. I do use blue tape and glue stick to make sure to get adhesion, but otherwise no problem. I spent a lot of time screwing around with PLA and to be honest I doubt I'll swap back.
3. I've experimented a bit with other slicers, but I always go back to FlashPrint because it just works (most of the time). That said:
4. If you're getting crazy spiderwebs inside of an open vase (or similar), it's probably not the print settings - it might be the slicer settings for things like the bottom layer count. I pulled my hair out trying to figure out why I was getting this insane combination of stringing, weird delaminations, and overall ugliness inside when I was trying to print some hollow sculptures. In the end, it was the slicer trying to put bottom layers halfway up the inside of the print.
I think there are some limitations to FlashPrint but I'm not really expert enough to comment beyond my experience that it is great most of the time, and that the default settings are surprisingly consistently good.

This is my first 3D printer and I had zero prior experience. I bought the Adventurer 3 Lite almost exactly a year ago after reading reviews until my eyes bled. It has the features that I wanted and there was an open box one available, which tipped the scale :D I've been running it all day as of this review (Sept 2022) and was inspired to come back and say something nice.Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2022

Lo que no me gusto, fue que el filamento venia enredado muy raro, y sin su soporte, pero no afecto en nada a la hora de imprimir.
Si tenia mis dudas sobre la impresora, y mas por el precio, pero valió la pena.
Le doy un 10 de 10.
