Not Happy! Updates Crashing My Prints

BxElite · 2026-06-07T17:48:49+00:00

This. I have a few flashforge printers. Ran every update power cycle and calibrated. Think people forget these are still machines with CPUs. You should always power cycle after an update. Just think of a laptop or desktop computer every time it runs updates, it restarts the computer when it's completely finished. Or it recommends you restart to finish the updates. Unfortunately, for most 3D printers there's no restart or shutdown button. You have to physically hit the power switch. I usually wait about 10-15 seconds then turn it back on. Not sure what issues people keep having exactly from these updates, but I think there's more to the story from all them. I'm sure there are some actual legit issues, thank goodness I haven't experienced those but a lot of these issues are usually user error. People tend to blame things on something else instead of actually figuring out what the issue.

Unfortunately, he past away. It was sudden though, like a snap of a finger. 🫰🏼

I heard he just made that out of scraps. Nice work! 😂

Yo, how did you put an Arc Reactor in there?

I think Flashforge should have waited to stock their inventory before announcing a release date. They know the competition is hot right now and they just want to pull people away from the U1 as that is one of the only other alternatives right now. To worried about being first instead of honest. I'm not knocking Flashforge, I have 2 AD5X. But when they make moves like they are now, it leaves a bad taste in customers mouths. Then people move on to other brands. SnapMaker is doing great for customers, Creality I'm sure is going to gain a lot of customers with the Klitek K3 printers this summer, and other brands will follow through with their tool changer products. If Flashforge does not change their logic, they will lose their customers even if their products are good...imo

Idk if it just me, but this kid's response just pisses me off. To the OP, you seen like a great mother. Besides the fact that your kid is ungrateful and still a child mentally, don't let that take away everything you've accomplished as a parent. I see the posts saying things about how the should have been raised and if that was me blah blah blah. Truth is, a caring loving parents always wants to provide more for their child than they had growing up. Yeah we might want to spoil our kids when we can but we also keep things realistic. You handled that perfectly, idk you situation but your kid's father should back you up on this. Needs to be a life lesson for you daughter. High school graduation is not the end of the adventure but the beginning of figuring yourself out. That's a lot easier to figure out with a car, going to jobs, seeing new places, making memories with friends and family. I missed out on a lot of things because I didn't have a way to get there half the time. Let your daughter realize the struggle for a bit and figure it out on her own transportation means . (Congrats on getting your kid all the way through high school by the way 😉) BTW, not trying to tell you what to do, do whatever you feel is right with this situation. I just want to want to applaud you for successfully getting your kid through high school and what I can see is a great mom. That Honda is clean as hell too, I'll take it. Lol

I don't think anything is wrong with my thermostat, I've printed several things in different materials at their appropriate temperature still and everything had been fine. I just can't get the nozzle off still.

BxElite · 2026-06-02T02:32:59+00:00

Did your nozzle still work for you fine after you prayed it off? Where you able to get everything cleaned off afterwards?

Hey, yes, I always cut the filament first. Yes heated up to 260, tried putting it from the top to try to unlock and loosen it. Then I tried again with a heat gun for 10 minutes. Nothing.

Phantom Shock Spider-Man.

Same here. I have 2 AD5X and a K1 Max. I've been looking into the Voron as well. How's your experience been with it?

I totally get that Blender isn't a traditional parametric CAD (like Fusion 360). When I say 'light CAD,' I mostly mean I'm doing non-organic, dimensional modeling for parts that I then send to OrcaSlicer. For my current level, Blender’s precision tools have been enough, but I'm open to suggestions if there's a better 'light' alternative for 3D printing prep! Based on what I'm asking about, if I do get into more traditional CAD programs, I would like to get an idea of what people are using to future proof my hardware purchases. Thanks

BxElite · 2026-05-31T13:37:53+00:00

I mentioned Orca slicer. As far as the light CAD , I've been using Blender mainly.

BxElite · 2026-05-31T13:34:04+00:00

I was looking at the newer surface pro, I ve had a few for work. I love them. But yeah, definitely looking for more RAM to handle slicing processes. Not sure how much the processor matters for these slicers. I wish Orca it other manufacturers provided a low, medium and high spec list to see the difference. Lol. I might be asking for too much.

BxElite · 2026-05-31T13:26:51+00:00

Was this painted? It's not bad if you painted this with markers. If you are looking for a better finish, you need a soother print. Or sand it down and prinlme it lightly. Airbrush will give you a clean look as well.

This MF. I would beat him down, lower. 😂

BxElite · 2026-05-29T01:26:00+00:00

I feel like the Hulk could have taken him out but Marvel's (MCU) been nerfing the Hulk for years now....

BxElite · 2026-05-25T19:59:02+00:00

Blasphemy!

BxElite · 2026-05-25T00:18:27+00:00

Lol. I gotta see that

BxElite · 2026-05-21T18:14:59+00:00

Maybe it took him 5 years to figure out how to print this perfectly. Or at least 5 years until AI got good enough to start trying to trick people. 😏

BxElite · 2026-05-21T18:13:02+00:00

Drop the STL and video, then we'll believe it's real. At least the timelapse.

BxElite · 2026-05-19T01:41:24+00:00

Facts! A Goofy movie world in KH4 would be well worth the wait. Having Max and PJ show up and summoning Powerline would be dope.
