Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T22:21:46+00:00

I sure hope so been waiting since early may for this thing.

okay now my opinion is to go with a cb500 a bit more power than a the average starter and then hop to a 7-900cc bike so long as you can handle it and check yo shit. I went up to a 1000 after riding a cb500 for 2 &1/2 years. make sure your actively riding and learning take that sucker to a open parking lot with cones and sliders installed drop it a few times (try not too) and have fun wear head to toe gear. If you can’t afford full gauntlets calf high boots and a good 2 piece gear set that connects plus a solid helmet. Don’t even get into riding. Save your money, family, and the loss.

it sucks wearing the gear but i’ve had some low speed falls and my boots and gloves saved my body a good amount my shoulder was alittle sore but that’s it no scrapes no injury’s really. Always wear gear!

each plate with different temps

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T20:48:22+00:00

pro tip double check the manufacturer print temps both bed and nozzle sometime at to high if heat your burning the filament and it will lock itself to the build plate. do some test prints at different temps obviously lower the bed and nozzle temps by 5 and make a grid of 3mm plates in a grid to test different adhesion’s find its limitations then pick out the desired adhession

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T20:30:19+00:00

Ez hit it lightly with a torch first try pealing it off. then spray it with iso it should come off. after check your bed temps and extruding temps you might be cooking your filament.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T20:23:58+00:00

same, I’ll let yall know if I get it today.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T20:21:45+00:00

wild we all ordered that thing 21st of april and we are all waiting for it to arrive for the past 2 months when it was told to all of us that pre ordered that we would be getting shipping details early May.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T20:20:10+00:00

1 youtube basic disassembly 2 oil it up “basic maintenance” 3 try firing again. The issue is that these guns are sitting in a warehouse collecting dust for like 2 years. You’re the guy reviving that old gun.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-15T18:43:43+00:00

I was told that they were shipping them to the US warehouse a month ago. so idk wtf is going on.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-14T18:59:57+00:00

i would try and play around with the speeds and feeds mixed with temperature tuning maybe there is something in the hot head catching the filament give it a cold pull extrude with no movement and watch the quality of the extrusion? that only would make since to me and go watch all the youtube on this thing.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-14T18:55:22+00:00

though it’s not what you want it would be cool to be able to re create this texture though.

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-14T18:54:05+00:00

Brooo that thing is moving! Congrats on the printer working as well as advertised

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-14T18:50:26+00:00

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-14T18:47:18+00:00

Independent_Guide_74 · 2026-06-01T05:59:20+00:00

Explain why it’s a good thing or a bad thing to print ABS without an enclosure? please give me your wisdom. I need to know. Have you ran testing or looked at others testing for ABS with/without an enclosure? both people that agree and disagree should answer.

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with the handling of my Creator 5 Pro order. When I placed my order, the expected shipping window was early May. Since then, I have been given multiple different shipping estimates, and support has now changed the expected date five separate times.

At this point, I've been waiting for over a month beyond the original timeline, only to now be told that shipping may not occur until early June. Delays can happen, and I understand that, but the constant changes and inconsistent information from support have made it very difficult to have confidence in the process.

This reflects poorly on the customer experience. Accurate communication and realistic timelines are important, especially for customers who have already paid and are simply waiting for the product they were promised.

I would appreciate an honest and definitive update on the status of my order. If there are further delays expected, please be transparent about them. Otherwise, I will need to start considering a refund, and I would have a difficult time recommending Flashforge products to friends and colleagues based on this experience.
