The Flashforge Adventurer 5M, a budget-friendly entry-level 3D printer, is currently on sale for $135.06 on AliExpress as part of the retailer's Back to School Sale, marking the lowest price yet seen for the device. This is a notable drop for newcomers to 3D printing, as the same model typically sells for $227 on Amazon, making the AliExpress deal considerably cheaper for anyone considering their first printer.

The discounted price is achieved by applying the coupon code "YUSAF16" for $16 off, and the item ships free from a US-based warehouse, arriving within one to two weeks. The Adventurer 5M is Flashforge's least expensive CoreXY printer, a design where only the print head moves rather than the motors, improving speed and precision. It offers a build volume of roughly 8.7 inches cubed, print speeds up to 600mm/s, a quick-heating high-flow nozzle, auto-levelling, vibration compensation and a 4.3-inch touchscreen, with optional add-ons available such as an enclosure kit and camera mod.
