FLASHFORGE ADVENTURER 5M ENCLOSURE - Mini Top

Smaller top for the FlashForge 5M Adventure 3D Printer.

I always thought the “stock” top on the printed enclosure to be a bit too big… I made mine ½ the size… and still fit everything.

I also made a smaller Drag Chain extruder end… to sit lower.

Hope you like it!

The connectors are built in.  I recommend printing at an angle with tree supports in PETG.

I provided the all-in-one file if you want to slice them up yourself with pegs instead.. or into different sizes.

I recommend scuffing the ends before superglueing them.

UPDATE: June 13, 2024

I made a new face plate… this one doesn't use magnets and extended the right sight slightly because of a small gap with the side rail….  It fits very well now with just some double-sided sticky tape.    I also changed the lettering slightly to have it print better… not as deep so no supports get prompted.

Display Lock:

This is obviously a work in progress. I had a few things to improve.

The display mount… I noticed the display can be knocked to the right and even knocked off the mount if hit… so I…. I made a Display Lock.

The lock was made to fit AFTER the fact, so you need to drill a hole into the top…

Drill a hole using the latch as a guide:

Put in a small M3 Brass Insert:

I used an M3*8 screw

It holds it fine… and leaves room for USB if needed.

NOTE:

I also used a modified drag chain mount…It has no overhead spool mount… It is NOT needed… but that is what I used. This mount uses cut-down version of the drag chain mount:

I also was inspired by Doug's Hot end mount:  https://www.printables.com/model/785667-flashforge-adventurer-5m-ad5m-simpler-easier-faste/remixes

But I made my OWN version which rides lower to allow for a better position of the chain to not hit the lid… https://www.printables.com/model/858904-flashforge-adventurer-5m-ad5m-drag-chain-terminati
