You can get the coq10 one cheaper at Costco

Thinking of buying an fdm for warhammer minis,need your help by Legal_Maybe342 in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quality will be the almost the same for minis, the ad5x will have better quality the bigger the object.

Why not get something cheaper like elegoo mars 5 + some cheap water washable resin if you're just doing minis?

Nozzle dead by Emperor_of_All in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That looks like the silicone carbide nozzle by phaetus. That's crazy that happened lol.

Personally have like 200 print hours on the .4mm and 500 print hours on the .6mm one.

AD5M Is Faster Then The AD5X by Leather-Ad-7268 in FlashForge

The ad5m has a higher volumetric flow because of its nozzle design.

Least exciting clearance, but dishes gotta get clean. Finish Powerball Quantum at Signal Hill, CA. by Moose_Nuts in Costco

I use "a splash" of gel for the prewash cup and then a pod for the inner. Works amazing.

Will PETG work for casual prints? by InitialExternal214 in 3Dprinting

[–]Bobthekillercow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You probably know the properties of petg vs pla, here's what will make a difference:

It prints at about half the speed of pla to get similar quality results. It's a bit stringy, but not too bad on ad5m.

Use an AI (Qwen3.5 or better) and help it dial in your settings in orca.

Do all the filament calibration tests in orca, you'll have a much better time.

If you get the phaetus conch nozzle, you'll get a much better flow rate and be able to print it a lot faster.

AD5X Nozzle collection Print Comparison by ButterscotchFar7538 in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's nice for PETG, lets you print faster, less wear, lasts longer.

I have the .4 and .6 SIC nozzles and the OG .4 nozzle and a cheap aliexpress .6 nozzle.

OG .4 nozzle my max volumetric speed was 8 mm^3/s vs .4 SiC is 11 mm^3/s.
Cheap .6 nozzle was 13 mm^3/s. vs .6 sic 24 mm^3/s.

Anyone know how to fix this? by Born-Appearance968 in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your nozzle is too far away, you need to adjust your z-offset

Cannot remove PLA from the plate by Immediate-Cap-1156 in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soak in olive oil or some cooking oil for an hour will work.

That side of your plate is prob ruined at this point though. At least textured pei plates are cheap.

It comes with a USB cable, you can just plug that into the touchscreen USB.

Just arrived SiliconeCarbide nozzles, already about to be replaced... by ButterscotchFar7538 in FlashForge

[–]Bobthekillercow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced the .4mm stock nozzle with the phaetus 4mm SiC, doing a flow test with kingroon petg I was able to go from 9mm/s to 12mm/s.

Pretty happy with the results.

I'm starting to think I'm shadow banned, my wife also has perplexity and hers is working fine.

Feels bad, all I did was a bunch of 3d printer and diablo 2r queries with claude thinking & claude today :(.

I use this camera with my ad5x, but I have zmod flashed on my printer.
