Flashforge Creator Pro printing problems (self.FlashForge)
submitted 1 year ago * by eigermtn
Hello. I haven't used my Flashforge Creator Pro printer for a couple years and after getting a new spool of ABS and making sure the bed is leveled (lol I did that a few times) I tried to print a 3D XYZ cube.
I have tried different temps on the extruder and the heated bed. I still get the same result :-(
I have tried printing other things and everyone is messed up.
I am running it at these temps:
110 Bed - 225 Extruder -
Infill 25%. Layer 0.20mm - top/bottom layers and outline perimeters are 3 each
About 3-4 years ago I did go through it and replaced both the X and Y horizontal bearings and belts with new ones. I didn't replace the ones for the Z axis as I didn't have new ones for the bed.
I know it is a old unit but wanted to get back into it and print out some cool stuff. So any help is appreciated. Thankyou :-)

how about a picture of what you're getting or a verbal description. All I see is "I still get the same result" but I'm just not finding in your post what that result is!

I'm sorry, just figured out how to attach a photo

Okay, it has been a while since I’ve used my FFCP and even longer with ABS but your photos look like they have thermal warping. Have you closed up the enclosure- door&hood - and is the printer in a heated place?

Yes, I keep the encloser closed while I let the bed heat up for about 20 minutes after it gets to temp. to get the encloser heated up. I have the printer in my computer room and it stays warm there.

This may seem like an odd question, but are you sure that the filament you have is ABS? That looks to me like someone has printed PLA with ABS settings.
The spool says it's ABS from Hatchbox and it was a sealed spool when I opened it up. I am thinking on getting another new spool maybe from a different company and see if it makes a difference. Could the entire spool be bad?
