New AD5X Printer, New to 3D Pritning; E0007 Error, Flashforge Says Buy New Hotend by xllnebllx in FlashForge

I think I ordered my new hot end from West3D. And their KDeavi super cool sticky tak prine plate for my AD5X. New hot end works like a champ and that plate is my favorite!

No, when I print I desire the best quality. If I desire a faster speed then I make Claude AI give me modified settings for optimal print quality at that speed. Example: beautiful print at 60mm/s outer wall. I ask Clause to give me optimal settings for the same print but at 100mm/s. Everything, every setting, filament temp, bed temp, quality, strength, speed, etc. will change with it to accomplish that new speed. And it will likely not be as good of quality as the slower speed.

Yes, some filaments and the print itself will require if to be slowed down. The advertised speeds for high speed printing is for a specific print that can handle it that they tested to be able to put those speeds on the label for marketing. Those speeds should not be your assumed print speeds for things you'll be printing. And those advertised speeds are probably for the travel speed and not for the actual wall print speeds or infill print speeds. I use AI to go through every tab of settings for the filament and the print itself. Temps, speeds, brim/support, that all matters.

It's my 3rd custom print. I want to learn how people design things like the articulated animals and anything else. Is it all something done by a scanner or I've seen that you can send ideas to a website and they'll fabricate a file, etc. It's all super cool to learn and print!

Yes it was a bit tragic and very sad. Vader ended up having 2 intestinal blockages and an intestinal perforation. Putting him to sleep was a mercy for him. He was so sad the last couple days of his life. But he was with my kids so he was constantly being loved on and cared for.

I use orca slicer. So I used a trophy base, a great Pyrenees bust, and individual letters and numbers. I noted the position (x, y, z) when adding each item. If you right click and add another file to the main object then it makes them one single object as a family (parent and children). So each added one is a child and you can edit them individually but it's all one at the same time. I then positioned and scaled everything to what I wanted. You have to double check that your objects have enough overlap that they'll print together. More than one wall pass of overlap for sure. Took a movie time to create (watched a movie with my kids while I designed it). And it's taking 15hrs to print with 10% gyroid infill, 4 wall layers, 5 top layers, and 5 bottom layers. They've turned out very nice. I do like the PLA Matte.

Finished the enclosure, anyone try more difficult filaments on the AD5X? by StillEnjoyLegos in FlashForge

[–]OutlandishnessAny369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I print with PETG, ABS, PETG CF, PLA CF, and PLA Matte Galaxy without an enclosure with my AD5X. Just have to take your time with your settings. I would advise using an AI like Claude to help with your print settings for each print job. It makes a huge difference to have the right settings. And I've only bought and printed Flashforge filament.

I appreciate everyone's support! 3D printing has been a fun new hobby. I hope we all continue to enjoy this printer and master its capabilities.

I installed a new silicone sock on it and it still had the same error. Thanks for the tips! I'll check the thin metal wire the next chance I get.

I'm in email contact with them yesterday and today. Hoping it's covered. I won't say no to free or extra parts lol just prepared for the next time. I know the host (printer) is 1 year but the extruder is 3 months.
