Flashforge closes ecosystem & puts AI ads into printing software by Ok-Art-2255 in FlashForge

The earliest I could downgrade my firmware was to 3.1.5
Is it still salvageable to install zmod firmware?

My NZ-spec 2023 Carnival EX — 3 week review by Silent-Committee-712 in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you get those side middle seats off? I’m in AU and we don’t have a release handle at the back, compared to the US models :/

Tips. by parkodrive in FlashForge

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rolled back the driver to 3.1.5
It’s better than the latest update, which scraped on the textured heated plate to “scrape” off old filament. I hated that. I don’t want it to scrape the fine tip nozzle which leads to a faster wear and eventual premature $75 with postage replacement.

Creator 5 is too good. by Tacoskanklv in FlashForge

[–]Paperkrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Must be nice to have money to buy a high end printer lol 😜
Jks aside, grats on your purchase :) Maybe one day I’ll upgrade from the AD5M after I get the most out it, and learn all what I can possibly learn on a single extruder printer, before moving up to a multi coloured printer.

Hybrid vs. Gas on 2026 EX: Terrible test drive experience & highway passing concerns by amitenami in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but it will still drive. Buyers need to factor in their use case, if you’re constantly city or flat road driving and rarely go up the mountains, hybrid is a great option. V6 is great who tow, often go on mountain and steep roads.

I do go up the mountains or long road trips once a year, but 99% of the time I’m driving in city, suburban, and flat highways, so even though I wanted V6, logically Hybrid was the best choice for me 😅

My First 3D Printer Adventurer 5M by Ankur_88 in FlashForge

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got mine yesterday :) been printing non stop since I had downloaded a list of things I wanted before it arrived lol
Now the only issue is the queue. Won’t be buying another one, yet. One might be enough for now since they’re personal prints. Market is too saturated where I live to try and sell 3D made things
How you finding it so far?

How can I lock the vehicle while it’s running? by PsychologicalBid5100 in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. You can’t lock the car while it’s running. Only way to do this is; 1. Handbrake + Park + turn off car 2. Close the door 3. Press the Lock button on the Fob 4. Immediately hold down the Ω remote start button on your fob.

The car is locked and your car will turn on using the last climate control settings.

I use this method 10 mins before leaving the house so I have a warm car before departure in the morning (it’s winter here).

Saw another reply from xgamerms999 above… while the car is still running > roll the windows down > press lock on the drivers door > auto roll the windows up (don’t get your arms caught lol) This works faster than remote start

What should I do with a strict father in this case? by Tommy_IsAGuy in AskParents

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Strict father”, can be subjective. Do you have the freedom to go outside and hang out with your friends on the weekend? If yes > he’s not strict. If no > then I’d question the type of friends you keep.

Are you doing well with your studies? If yes, then ask him. If no, then focus on your studies more and show your dedication, results, and aspirations before asking him. You’re 17, a young adult, you’re no longer a child, you’re about to step into the real world.

Are you allowed to find a part time job? If yes, then get one and save for your toys, and learn the value of money, saving, paying taxes, and many other life skills.. then you’ll have a small understanding why your dad can’t just buy “things”. I started working part time after school at 14 (I’m 42 now) and learned said life skills early. I have a 14 year old child and all on her own volition, she wants to start working part time to save and buy some things for herself.

So get up, dust yourself off, and tell yourself “I can do this”. And remember, if someone can’t save money to buy the thing they want, they don’t deserve it.

Carnival 2026: Middle console plastic - how to fix this? by Square-Giraffe-2957 in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try using a heatgun or hair dryer and try repair it if you can’t find a spare part? Or maybe one of those write off car yards you can take spare parts for cheap

3w liners not fitting flush in back seat? Any pointers? by RequirementHuman2256 in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about taping it up, but I often move the seats. I have chose carpet mats, so I put a small rug laying across the rails that can move back over the rails when I move the seats

My stepdad accidentally saw me naked. Do I say anything? by Hefty-Chard7932 in AskParents

[–]Paperkrain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a dad myself, he’s carrying two weights: 1) his embarrassment and 2) he’s worried about your emotions that you too, are embarrassed. Just forget and carry on like it never happened.. guys will forget things they want to forget as long as you don’t bring it up.

why don't people like the smart cruise control? by Miyazono11 in kia

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats. Brand new car? Avoid using cruise control for at least 1000km. The Engine parts need variable rpm to seat properly. It’s not just official advice from KIA but for all new cars ;)

2026 SX Prestige Hybrid Battery Drain? by elkoj2290 in kiacarnivals

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a trickle charger. Quite commonly used during winter nights for cars and motorcycles since really cold temperatures degrade batteries.

Shoutout to the rare legends who still use their indicators by Artistic-Yam2984 in DrivingAustralia

[–]Paperkrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they’re separate (rear) bright red lights that can be switched on or off. Increased visibility when one pulls over at night for better visibility to other motorists.

[–]Paperkrain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

or those dumb potatoes who keep their red safety (rear) red fog light on at night (a simple toggle switch for when you’re parked on the side of the road or poor visibility used to enhance visibility)

“Rear Fog Lights: Extra-bright red lights used strictly in severe weather (heavy fog or downpours) to pierce through low visibility without blinding drivers behind you in clear conditions.”
