The bracket that comes with the model may not fit the attachments on the X-axis, and you may need to print a piece to fit it.
I filled out the delivery instruction box for someone to call if I would need any extra brackets, it is my first printer so I didn't know exactly what to expect and they didn't call me. The thing is this would have been helpful to ensure I had the part made prior to the hot end arriving, my first printer and the other hot end sent to me was faulty. I ended up using a light piece of wood. Actually, while I'm at it, your phone doesn't work at all.

I just bought 2 of the new Adventurer 5M Pro printers and have given them a hefty workout I. The gliding weeks of the school term. I was amazed at the speed of prints, the ease of loading and changing filament and the software and file slicing. 3D Print Superstore matched other quotes and my order arrived very quickly. I’m looking forward to some exciting projects in the new year.
This printer is still running like brand new. Flawless work, flawless results. I've made a few projects into reality since the last time I reviewed this awesome machine. It's still performing excellently. No issues what-so-ever. The onboard digital screen is intuitive and lets me know if any potential problems could occur, like the outside temp is getting close to be too warm to print. That's awesome idea. In the next few weeks, I'll be giving the printer a service, lubricate all the moving parts, shafts, bearings etc, to ensure continues reliability. This printer is proving to be one of my finest decisions. Very pleased
