According to our 3D printer expert
The Flashforge Adventurer 3 is a 3D printer suitable for novice and advanced hobbyists. You can keep an eye on your prints thanks to the built-in WiFi camera. Follow the progress of your print in the Flashcloud on your laptop or PC. With the Flashcloud, you can easily print your designed model or choose a design from the library. Simply press 'print', select the desired size, and the 3D printer starts printing right away. The 3D printer also prints from an SD card or USB flash drive. The nozzle of the Adventurer 3 is detachable, so you can easily perform maintenance. The storage capacity is expandable up to 8GB.

Let me start with: This printer is fun for beginners. Relatively easy to use, bed leveling is not necessary (nor possible) due to the special print bed. If you just want to print and don't want to delve further into how a 3d printer works and how to optimize it (so go the technical side), this printer may be perfect. With the included software you can easily load a compatible 3d file to your PC, choose the print quality and start printing right away! All this has its drawbacks.
You could call FlashForge the @pple among 3d printers. As long as everything works it's top stuff. Do you want more options? Bad luck. The printer is absolutely not compatible with other software with the supplied firmware. The supplied software has very few printing options. In addition, their geocode is also slightly different from… all other printers. (For example, the image of the print is incorporated. This is displayed on the touchscreen during printing). Apart from that, it seems as if they have made as much effort as possible to make the printer compatible with their own filament (smaller rolls, these fit in the printer. Standard rolls do not). With their PLA/ABS the prints are perfect on standard settings. I can't buy these anywhere, not even on their website. Of course every PLA is different and with some tweaking in the print settings every print will be beautiful but I had more trouble with this than other printers. This is partly due to the fact that there are relatively few print settings. (Note, beginners: For beginners this is not a big problem). Do you want another nozzle? Bad luck, unless you replace the entire print head for, for example, an E3D (you can find it printable online, especially for this printer). If not, you'll have to make do with the 0.4mm (if I'm not mistaken). Should you replace it? Then you can order it on the FlashForge website for a -not so- nice price. You can't unscrew the nozzle and put on another one. The nozzle and heat sink (and heat element) are in one part and cannot be removed. Is your print bed broken? Get new ones. An ABS print went wrong and became very stuck to the bed. Then I accidentally broke the top layer. This is not replaceable, so the entire print bed has to be replaced.
For the beginners who just want to print: don't be afraid of the above text ;-). If you just want to print nice things with PLA, there is no problem. Both bed and nozzle are up to temperature very quickly and putting into use is also very easy. Image is attached, printed with the adventurer. (The towers didn't go well anyway because there was a support piece missing somewhere in the print program. Unfortunately I only found out about this halfway through).

The device is good, but 3D printing seems to need a bit more than plug-and-play. The first print failed immediately, but I did not read a stripe manual.
