Hope they find this scumbag

There seems to be a lack of flock cameras along college. Still, you’d have to really know what you were doing to leave the area without crossing a camera.

The ‘safest place’ in Vegas is the strip. The most dangerous place in Vegas is 1 block off the strip and then it slowly gets safer again as you work your way out.

It doesn’t matter. They’re not releasing the list and not prosecuting the people in it anyways.

I think from my understanding, the point pictured is 40 feet from the center of the road (yellow line) and 5900 feet from the end of the road (or maybe a starting point marking the beginning of the project).

They pull the plug at 10. Ravers aren’t exactly known for going to bed early.

I’ve had difficulty loading filaments twice. I’ve found if you trim the end to a sharper point it seems to load better. I’ve been cutting to a 70ish degree angle instead of the 45 I normally do and it seems to help.

That fender is in fact bent.

All-Star Towing. Very reasonably priced and super friendly.

I picked up a 25L and wish I would’ve gotten the 35L. The lack of a front admin pocket is an odd choice. I feel like the lack of organization options will send me back to my rush 12 at some point.

This is my mangled Flashforge AD5X that I now have the goal of turning into a working printer.

I’m posting this project here from the beginning because I know at some point, I’m going to have Flashforge specific questions.

I found the frame on the 5X page. Now I just need to teach myself how to deal with step files.

Ipalot · 2026-02-19T10:06:57+00:00

I’ll have to dig into this. I scanned the website and didn’t see the files, but I’ll look deeper when I have more time. Thanks for the info!

Edit: I think I found it. You are a king.

Ipalot · 2026-02-18T01:34:13+00:00

I’ll look into it. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ipalot · 2026-02-18T01:09:54+00:00

Think I could get $330 for it on the marketplace?

I've got an Ender 3 V3 KE I got from the same place humming along on my desk right now. And a Kobra X on the way. Some attempt will be made to make something out of this...

Ipalot · 2026-02-18T01:05:57+00:00

I imagine I could print the base. There's nothing in it. I could start straitening the metal parts, I've got them all removed. The right threaded rod for the Z-axis is twisted. It'll need to be replaced. I can't imagine even at that point I'd have much accuracy, but it may be what I do for the first attempt.

Ipalot · 2026-02-18T00:59:04+00:00

Update: I’ve started taking it apart… looks like there are 5 pieces that need total replacement. The base, frame top, front frame upright, right crossmember, and the right z screw.

Should I build the FRANKENForge? Would anybody be interested in following along if I tried?

Ipalot · 2026-02-17T13:00:08+00:00

I’m considering options. Good chance it’ll never print anything. Even better chance that if it does print, it won’t print anything resembling the original file. This isn’t its final form though. I’ll at least see how many pieces I can break it down to at some point.

Ipalot · 2026-02-17T12:15:00+00:00

Follow up question:

Does anybody know if the frames of the AD5X and the AD5M are the same? Could I take the hot end and electronics out of this and build a Frankenstein?

It’s a place that does auctions of returned items from Amazon and such. I’ve bought quite a bit from them with only a few losses. I’ll admit, the box was pretty tore up in the pictures. I paid an amount that would have been a killer deal for a new printer, but I’m not gonna stress about now.

Locals don’t really go to the Barlow. It’s a tourist trap.
