Features:
it is remarkable easy to add an easy on glass bed on that model. no clips to bump into..
there us a dual fan duct to fix that deficiency so both extruders get air. I will send you links for the glass bed clips and the duct when I get to my PC.
https://i.imgur.com/9tX2dag.jpg
this is the dreamer but the Pro has the same bed configuration
you are getting a great printer. their slicer (flashprint) has been updated (use expert mode) and works well. I have simplify3d but prefer flashprint.
when you buy a glass bed, dont use cheap glass. get a 20 dollar borosilicate one. especially if you are a bleeder. cheap glass is not a good idea.
I like their blue buildtak and keep spare on hand. both the glass and the blue surface have their advantages.
No problem! A clarification to what u/Seppi449 said; I'm assuming they're actually talking about a hardened steel nozzle. This will allow the students to print with exotic filaments (wood fill, metal fill, glow in the dark, etc) without it damaging the soft brass nozzle. This upgrade is pretty cheap, and it will prevent constant replacements.
I personally would not recommend upgrading to an all metal hotend assembly. The uses for that are pretty small and they can cause a lot more issues for novice users, which I'm guessing many of the students are. When you get a new nozzle, make sure it doesn't specify it's for an all metal hotend. They are different and are not compatible.
You probably ought to also grab a bit of 2mm ID x 4mm OD teflon tubing. You need to replace the little bit of teflon tubing inside the hot end assembly periodically to help prevent jams and keep your printing smooth. The replacement piece is only about 1" long, so a roll like that will last forever. When you replace the existing tube, you want to make sure to keep the length as close to the original as possible, and keep your cuts 90º.
I hope this helps!
I bought this one: Micro Swiss All Metal Hotend I don't know much about it compared to others but it was pretty easy to install and works well.
That's a tough one since you likely have the older mk7 (or maybe even mk6?) extruder. PTFE is indeed the tubing you need, but it comes in two sizes for the FFC. Does your extruder use a spring lever to apply tension to the filament like this
This is the most standard size for most Flashforge printers. Although I suggest measuring your existing lining to ensure it's the correct size (2mm ID, 4mm OD).
>I can see ptfe bowden tube on Amazon - is that appropriate for that, or only for spool feed?
I'm assuming you are referring to the same one referred above which would be yes. But to be specific, while PTFE is preferred for bowden tubing it's not the only option. There are other tubing options made from other materials used for bowden setups on the market so unless it says PTFE (or Teflon), don't assume it will work.
I used this filament in my Creator Pro, and it worked like a charm. Smelled delightful while printing, too!
I don't recall any of the Finders I've had at the makerspaces I run not allowing prints because of bed leveling issues. In fact, I often will adjust the bed while prints are running if I am not happy with what the auto-leveling software settled on. Usually, it is because the bed needs to be backed away from the nozzle a little bit.
If you want to get real precise with it, I use a dial indictator on my flashforge creator pro that mounts on the X-Axis rods with a 3D printed holder allowing you to level the bed until the dial indictator shows all points on the bed are level. I'm not sure if there is already a model for the finder that exists for this purpose. It'd be pretty easy to make.
Extruder fan? If it's anything like the creator pro, I used this 24v fan.
The bulk bowden ptfe tube is what you need. I bought it from Amazon for my Creator Pro. It seems the ones I purchased precut were a little short so this my best solution.

Gluestick. It works both to keep it to the bed AND to create a bit of seperation to pull it off.
Get a cake frosting spatula, aka print removal tool. I have this (https://www.amazon.com/Gizmo-Dorks-Print-Removal-5-inch/dp/B01DTLWVSU) but this is super popular as well (https://www.amazon.com/BuildTak-BT30185-Spatula/dp/B017XGEDOM/)
For that one you're having problems with now, heat the bed up to 90 let it sit for 5 min or so and you should be able to pry it off.
I'm not sure if the adventurer is the same type or not, but when my Creator Pro wires go out, I just use these on Amazon and chop off the one end, and splice on my connector piece to the wire. Way cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/UEETEK-Bipolar-Stepper-Printers-Machines/dp/B07175F6P7/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549563667&sr=8-3&keywords=stepper+cable
Will do...that same thread pointed me toward [this nice improvement,] (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:715545) which I'm going to print as soon as I'm back up and printing. It also lead to [this] (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1470962) and I ordered some [standoffs] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HFTMV45/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to go with them.
Incidentally, I just put the bed back together with the "dead" screws. I just left the glass off, which changes the leveling point on the screws, and I'm hoping that means that the wingnuts are now gripping at a non-stripped spot. So far so good; if it stays stable through a few prints tonight and tomorrow, I can replace the M3 screws when they arrive Thursday.
TIL that Lowe's and Home Depot don't keep a good stock of M3 fasteners.
This is way cheaper and works as well

Sadly it's a blower fan like This which runs at 12v. I'll find it's info when I'm back home.
Some of the best advice I received was to simply use a piece of paper and level your bed only at the leveling screws.
After you are close print one of these.
depth dial holder doohickey
And buy one of these to go into it.
dial indicator
After that you can throw away that annoying piece of paper.
The instructions say to press down the black ring, and while doing that to pull up on the tube. In practice, once you remove the tube, it may not hold properly anymore. You probably want to pick up a pack of PC4-M6 replacements:
