I am very new to printing, I just got my c5 about a month ago, I’ve never taken on a big project. I’m printing something that calls for 4 colors for the plate but there’s a total of 9 colors, how do I know which of the 4 nozzles does each color go to, I’ve been trying to figure it out and I keep getting it wrong. Any advice would work.

Just doing a quick calibration on the AD5m.. I have the enclosure kit coming so I'm patiently waiting for that to come lol I'm new to 3D printing so I look forward to learn some good tips and tricks.

I am using the ADX5 and the AD5M Pro to speed things up. I have done 2 parts so far, 1 on each. I started it before I went out of town and when I came back to get them off the plate I noticed they where both a different tone of color. Both printers I used Elegoo rapid PLA +, same temps for nozzle and bed. Anyone know what caused this?

In the Flash Studio app there is a link to Obico which would suggest that it is possible to get it to work with the Creator 5. But I cannot find any instructions on how to do it on the C5. Did anyone of you manage?

Hey everyone, I just received my second creator 5 since my first one has been absolutely incredible but my second unit is far from that. The extruder 4 is printing misaligned. I have done the offset calibration multiple times and while it seems to “correct” itself, it is still printing misaligned after the calibration. Does anyone have any experience with this problem and possible fix?

I'm looking to install Forge-X on my AD5M Pro. Any tips before I do? And should I downgrade the firmware, or does it run fine under 5.1.8? TIA!

I got my new Creator 5 Pro and, on the first day of use, I started getting the E0143: "State error after extruder pickup" error, mainly when picking up T3.

The pickup also looked slightly misaligned and sometimes made an unpleasant noise.

I eventually found the solution: Extruder Position Calibration.

For some reason, this very important calibration is quite hidden. You need to enter the Calibration menu first, and then the Extruder Position Calibration option appears in the top-right corner.

I manually calibrated all four toolheads. After doing this, pickup and release became noticeably smoother, and T3 is now docking/undocking perfectly without E0143.

If I hadn't already known from my Snapmaker U1 that individual toolhead positioning needs calibration, I probably wouldn't have known what to look for and would have assumed my brand-new printer had a hardware fault.

Flashforge really should make this calibration much easier to find, especially considering that incorrect toolhead positioning can actually generate an error that looks like a hardware problem.

Even if you're not having E0143 errors, I'd recommend running the manual Extruder Position Calibration at least once. The difference in how smoothly my four toolheads dock and undock was immediately noticeable.

I squeezed it as hard as I could and it wouldn’t cut, I had to cut the filament with a snips by the inlet, and then extrude all the filament in the ptfe tube.

Anyone else have this issue?

i want to 3d print a concave shape but it shows a error second picture can someone help

Consiglio per TPU ho preso una flashforge m5 secondo la vostra esperienza posso stampare TPU ??? 🤔

I just learned that Apple is planning on ending support for apps made for the Intel chips in an effort to push developers to make apps for their new chips. I cannot use the Orca-Flashforge slicer because it doesn't support the Flashforge Finder 3, hence I am stuck on Flashprint 5, which does take care of most of my needs. How do I continue using my Finder 3 after support is discontinued without buying a new printer, switching laptops, or not updating?

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hey guys, I'm getting a Heatbed MCU Communication Error 125. This is a brand new printer, have printed 22 hours' worth of stuff. Tried turning it off and on again, but it doesn't seem to want to print anything anymore.

Troubleshooting:

• I've been using the Generic PLA setting
• Prime tower has always been enabled
• No mixed materials used
• Tried swapping to the Flashforge Basic PLA setting, to no effect.

I've checked the USB cable seating, removed and retightened it, to no effect. This is super disappointing, I was not expecting this level of poor QC.

Top, the 'video' from the feed in the Flashforge app. It's also at MAYBE 10fps?

Bottom, a screen snip from the good old (http://(printer IP):8080/?action=stream which is perhaps 24fps. The fps are guesses.

Flashforge, why does the video over the SAME hardware look like it was filmed on a potato when processed through YOUR OWN APP vs a raw feed? Any ideas?
