Buying First Printer

I haven’t had any issues with the 5M pro’s software, I would recommend downloading OrcaFlashforge for the slicer since it is optimized, and the only thing that will get to be annoying is that it will constantly log you out of your account. The mobile and pc ui for the flash forge app sucks and is re

Does my printer's machine start print code explain why my startup takes almost 10 minutes?

FlashForge AD5M? Mine does that too. Started after an update a few months ago. It’s annoying as hell.

Firmware release notes

I've had the AD5M Pro for a few months now and have had great luck with it until this recent FW upgrade to 3.2.7. Ever since this upgrade rolled out, I have guaranteed network connection failures to the printer on the first "print plate" attempt. It sometimes takes as many as 3 or 4 attempts to get

Did they just break online connectivity yesterday and release new firmware and software today?

I reached out to FF Support looking for some announcement or additional details on the new software and firmware releases. I asked to receive the update files, or be in on the beta group, and explained some users were in a broken state because only one of their devices/softwares updated. The respons

Lil wifi mod on the cheap s1

I'm a big fan of the Kobra S1, even though there have been a few bumps along the way (95% self inflicted). However, the one thing I've always felt the S1 did well, better than anyone actually, was the WiFi/network connection. I have 2 S1 combos, a Bambu P1S combo, and one each of the 3 FlashForge AD

Should return my flash forge 5m pro and get the elegoo centari carbon?

I have the FlashForge AD5M and the Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I would buy the CC over the AD5M every single time. The bigger build volume is one, and the primary one, it matches the Bambulab X1C so a lot more prints are possible that are designed for that build volume, the other is that with the CC I h

Instructions on how to replace the level sensor on the Adventurer 5M Pro

Final update in case this helps anyone else: I finally got it working. What fixed it was NOT the normal calibration in the regular printer menu. It ended up being a different probe calibration procedure that support eventually sent me as an attachment. It goes through a hidden/service-type menu and

The only access to the firmware updates for Flash Studio is currently through being added as an internal tester within the scope of the application.

3D printing Newbie

Since you’re using a FlashForge, are you using the Flashforge Orca Slicer? I just got an AD5M and had to swap to using the open source Orca Slicer to get decent prints out. The software was causing my prints to come out wrong, similar to yours, for some reason. Once I swapped I had no issues.

Is there an easy way to take off supports?

I came from FlashForge AD5M to a P2S (still have 2 5Ms) and the supports all but fall off my P2S. I am so accustomed to fighting to remove supports, destroying prints because of supports, have rough surfaces because of supports. On the P2S, it just works.
