Anyone still holding out on orca for now

I haven't updated to flashmaker yet, I have been holding out on orca. Anyone else doing the same? My AD5x is doing great on orca still and tbh IMHO the flashforge ecosystem isn't great and I'm too nervous to update to their new experimental slicer.

Help with version update

When starting a print, my printer said it need to update, so i updated it. it then gave a message saying to update my slicer to v2.3.2. i downloaded the software, but it won’t let me sign in, and wont recognize my printer. now, in the app, when my print is on, and/or printing, it doesn’t even recognize it as on. i tried going back to my old slicer, but it won’t work anymore. and doesn’t see my printer as idle either. does anyone have any idea how to fix this? i’ve tried googling and watching many youtube videos. anything helps. thanks

How long does filament stay dry

I was having a lot of problems with my print quality and I’m fairly confident it’s because of moisture in the filament, so I bought a dryer. It seems to be working well but I’m wondering do I have to keep the dryer running or once the filament is dry I have a day or two to print with it or how does it work?

flash forge m5 pro camera bug

i was looking at a print thru the camera and it was fine until it did this

(also the camera feed likes to stop and make me re click on it to keep watching it but ive assumed its norm for it to do that)

Flashforge Adventurer 5m Issue?

Hi,

I printed the default cube you have in the first print, and it seems the printer touches the bed when going from the line to the center of the bed, is it normal?
The cube is well printed

My firmware is 2.7.8-2.2.3, and I cannot update it when i restart it.

New enclosure for AD5M!

Finally got around to putting this enclosure on my Adevnturer 5M! I think it looks good. The chain I printed from a Two-tone silk PLA.

Is there any better cameras which you can hook up to an AD5X then the official one?

So last Christmas I got the official camera you can hook up to an AD5X and was quickly disappointed by the resolution. I'd like to have a better camera hooked up to my 3D printer, although the one I have right now is fine. The price range I'm looking at is probably about 20-50 Dollars given how often I use my 3D printer. Are there any good third party cameras which can hook up to it?

Nozzle dragging on Flashforge Adventurer 5M Pro

Hey everyone, I'm having an issue. I’m using Gyroid infill, but the nozzle is constantly scraping the print and I don’t know how to fix it. I tried adjusting it on the printer's screen while printing, but it didn't make any difference. Does anyone know how to solve this from the slicer? I'm using a 0.4mm nozzle.

Extruder installation ad5x

Basically last night I was printing some petg for the first time (I usually just do PLA) and it clogged and a bunch of plastic formed a large blob that filled up my hot end area and encased the entire thing in plastic. I don’t think I’ll be able to fix it with a heat gun and some tweezers. That being said I ordered a new extruder.

My question is this: has anyone had to replace their extruder, and was it a hassle? It’s the V1. Does it at least come with some sort of instructions I can follow? I love my printer and don’t want to mess it up more than it already is. Any insight or advice appreciated.

IFS host issue?

I was working on a large print a few days ago. When the printer had to switch colors halfway through, it stopped. Feed error E0100. Since then, I have been looking for a solution.

What I have ruled out:

  • Nozzle clogging
  • IFS tube clogging

The filament went through all of this fine, without any problems.

After this, I opened the IFS host. Behind the gear at input 1 I saw a bit of dust from the filament. I gently blew it out with the compressor.
Other than that, I saw no abnormalities.

Unfortunately, this didn't help at all. The filament is unloaded and loaded fine. But things go wrong when printing. A complete recalibration didn't make any difference either.

After a restart, I wanted to print a small block again. Unfortunately, it seems only residual filament is coming out of the nozzle. If I select a different roll of filament, nothing comes out anymore (with the exception of residual filament in the print head). The white in the picture shoudl've been the black filament i choose.
All i use is PLA filament.

What could this be and how do I solve this?

New nozzle

I just got a new 0.25 nozzle for my ad5x and this will be the first time I have ever changed one. After I swap it any calibration test i need to run or change z offset?
