Flashforge Black Friday 2026 sale: every printer price, and the Creator 5 Pro bundle I would buy
Flashforge's Black Friday sale started quietly on October 20 and runs to November 30. Every printer in the current lineup is discounted = the Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro tool changers, and the three Adventurers.
There is a twist this year: until October 31 the Black Friday price needs a free Flashforge account and one reward point at checkout, and from November 1 it is the price for everyone. My code 3DPTD30 still works on top of it until October 31, so the Creator 5 Pro comes to $769 before November and $799 after when using my affiliate link and code.
For anyone who has had a Flashforge on the wish list, this is the month: the Creator 5 Pro goes below any price 3DP.sale has recorded for it since May, and the three Adventurers land $20 under their lowest recorded prices too.
Every Flashforge price in this post is the US store price. The full list, with the price history behind each printer, is on the Flashforge Black Friday page on 3dp.sale. Europeans prices are also there.
The Flashforge links in this post are affiliate links: buying through them may earn me a commission, at no extra cost to you. 3dp.sale is my own site.
Flashforge Black Friday 2026 sale dates and how the pricing works
The sale runs from October 20 to November 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific, in the US store and the European store. It has two phases, and the difference is who gets the lowest price and how.
Until October 31: the store shows one price to everyone (the "today" column below). The Black Friday price requires a free Flashforge account, and at checkout, you redeem 1 Reward point, which takes another $50 off a Creator 5 or Creator 5 Pro and $20 off an Adventurer (valid once, for one printer). On top of that, my code 3DPTD30 takes $30 off a Creator 5 or Creator 5 Pro.
I checked that combination at checkout on October 22: the Pro comes to $769, the Creator 5 to $619.
Also, any order you place of $200 or more during this first phase also enter into a $20,000 prize draw. Everyone who does not win gets a $20 discount code on $100+ purchases, pretty sweet for when you need to stock up filament later.
From November 1: the Black Friday price is the price for everyone, no account needed, and 3DPTD30 is most likely expired.
Flashforge's own “cart codes” stay until November 30: BFCM15 ($15 off a $300 order), BFCM30 ($30 off $600) and BFCM45 ($45 off $900).
| Printer | Price today | Black Friday price | With 3DPTD30 until October 31 |
List price | Buy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creator 5 | $699 | $649 | $619 | $799 | Flashforge store |
| Creator 5 Pro | $849 | $799 | $769 | $949 | Flashforge store |
| Adventurer 5M | $249 | $229 | no code | $399 | Flashforge store |
| Adventurer 5M Pro | $379 | $359 | no code | $599 | Flashforge store |
| Adventurer 5X | $349 | $329 | no code | $549 | Flashforge store |
If you look at the printers on 3dp.sale before November 1 and wonder why they show $819 for the Pro and not $769: the cards show the price anyone pays without an account, with my code taken off. The member price needs the account creation step, and at 3dp.sale it was decided that was one step to much to show as a normal deal. But all the info is there.
Black Friday deals beyond FDM 3D Printers
There is also 20% off Creator 5 and Adventurer accessories such as nozzles, build plates and spare parts, and Flashforge filament is up to 50% off!
Flashforges new full-color (millions of colors) CJ270 is on sale at $3,849, down from $4,499. Here, my code BOOSTCJ270 takes another $100 off for you.
In essence, The Flashforge CJ270 is a desktop material-jetting 3D printer that uses inkjet printheads to mix resins (CMYK, white, and clear) in a single print. It cures photopolymers via UV light at layer resolutions down to 7 μm, resulting in a whole new level of desktop multi-color printing, just look at this print!
My Creator 5 Pro review - Pre firmware 2.0
I have run the Creator 5 Pro in my studio since early summer, printing with PLA, PETG, TPU 95A, ABS, ASA, PA6, CF-PETG and PLA Tough in various combinations.
The written review has the measured waste and the print-time comparison against an AMS printer and the short version is that a color change including the prime tower takes 22 seconds against 60 to 90 seconds for a full purge on an AMS-style machine, and that the Pro is the tool changer I reach for when a part needs several materials or an engineering material.
Two things to know when you read up on Flashforge Creator 5 Pro (or watch my video): The video was made on the 1.7 to 1.9 firmware, so the slow calibration and the slow start I complain about are the pre-2.0 state. Other uses have also complained that the printer got slowed down in a 1.9.x update, resulting in unreasonable long print times. It appears 2.0.x has fixed this, but it’s just days old - too early to confirm.
The dryer: the VDS instead of the Creality Space Pi X4 from my video
The dryer beside the printer in my video is a Creality Space Pi X4: four spools in two chambers, up to 85°C, PTFE outlets so it can feed up to four toolheads (or 4 single-extruder printers lol). It costs around $179 today and I decided on it because Flashforge's own box did not exist when I filmed. It still does the job!
The Flashforge VDS is the same idea with one difference that matters on a Creator 5: it talks to the printer. Two chambers that can be controlled individually between 45 and 85°C, 1 to 48 hour timer, drying that starts by itself when the chamber's humidity rises, and desiccant that regenerates while it runs.
On a Creator 5 or Creator 5 Pro, the printer shows and controls the dryer so you can better manage everything at one place (or remotely).
The price is the point this month, with one catch…. Flashforge's store lists the VDS at $199 (regular price $259) under "Buy add-ons, save 25%", which is how it comes to $149 when it sits in the same order as a Flashforge printer. The catch: it is a pre-order, and the US store says it ships around November 30, so the printer arrives now and the dryer at the end of the month. At $149 it is $30 less than the Space Pi X4 for a box that knows what printer it is feeding, and it is also the easiest way to push a Creator 5 Pro order over the $900 line for the BFCM45 code.
Creator 5 Pro with a VDS, US store, one code per order:
| When you order | Cart before a code | Best code | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| From November 1, no account needed | $799 + $149 = $948 | BFCM45 | $903 |
| Until October 31, free account and 1 point | $799 + $149 = $948 | 3DPTD30 checked at checkout |
$918 |
| Until October 31, same cart, if BFCM45 applies on top of the point not checked |
$948 | BFCM45 | $903 |
| Until October 31, no account | $849 + $149 = $998 | BFCM45 | $953 |
For a Creator 5 the two codes are worth the same: $649 + $149 = $798, and either 3DPTD30 (until October 31) or BFCM30 takes it to $768. Without an account before November 1 it is $699 + $149 = $848, $818 with BFCM30.
So the cheapest Pro on its own is $769 before November 1 and $799 after, and the cheapest Pro with the dryer is $903 either way, if the cart code stacks with the member price. If it does not, the bundle is $918 now and $903 from November 1, and waiting ten days costs you nothing but ten days.
Price history: is the Black Friday price any good?
All five Black Friday prices are below the lowest price 3dp.sale has recorded for that printer since it started following Flashforge on May 7. That is the honest version of "lowest of the year": I have no record of January to April, so I will not claim it.
| Printer | Black Friday price | Lowest recorded since May 7 | Since |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creator 5 | $649 | $669 with code 3DPTD30 $699 in the store |
October 12 store price since September 21 |
| Creator 5 Pro | $799 | $819 with code 3DPTD30 $849 in the store |
October 12 store price since September 21 |
| Adventurer 5M | $229 | $249 | September 22 |
| Adventurer 5M Pro | $359 | $379 | September 22 |
| Adventurer 5X | $329 | $349 | September 22 |

Do I need a code for the Flashforge Black Friday prices?
Until October 31 the lowest prices need a free Flashforge account and 1 Reward point redeemed at checkout. From November 1 they apply to everyone. Code 3DPTD30 takes another $30 off a Creator 5 or Creator 5 Pro until October 31 and stacks with the member price. BFCM15, BFCM30 and BFCM45 take $15, $30 or $45 off orders of $300, $600 or $900 until November 30, one code per order.
What does Creator 5 firmware 2.0.0 change?
Flashforge released 2.0.0 for the Creator 5 and Creator 5 Pro in October 2026. Its notes list a fix for extended print time, firmware rollback support, a record of past calibration values, multi-plate print files, a filament consistency check, a warning when high and low temperature materials are mixed, and changes to purge handling. A printer on 1.9.9 or later cannot be rolled back to 1.9.8 or earlier.
Is the Creator 5 Pro cheaper than before?
The Creator 5 Pro launched at $949 in spring 2026, was $849 from June to early August and again from September 21, and $819 with code 3DPTD30 from October 12. The Black Friday price is $799, or $769 with the code until October 31, below the lowest price 3dp.sale has recorded for it since May.
Does the Flashforge VDS work with printers other than the Creator 5?
As a dryer with filament tubes, yes. The connection that lets the printer control it and feed while drying works only with the Creator 5 series on firmware 1.9.6 or later. During the sale it is $149 in the same order as any Flashforge printer except the CJ270, and $199 on its own, as a pre-order that ships around November 30.
Is the Flashforge Black Friday sale on in Europe?
Yes, on the same dates with prices in euros, including the member price until October 31 and the code 3DPTD30 at €30 off. 3dp.sale shows the European prices on its European page.
