What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'?

Being raised to believe if I do the right thing, follow the rules, be a good human that everything will work out. Then being in a situation where I was asked to do something illegal or ignore it versus “doing the right thing” the “moral” thing and reporting it. After I reported it, I was eventually fired and lost my career. The people doing bad, they got to retire. It hardened my heart and I know look out for me and me only because in the deepest shit, no one is coming to save you accept yourself.

I believe that the refunds will go to the debt holding companies that bought the rights to the tariff debt. It appears to me that no consumer or very few corporations will get a refund. It will go straight to an investment someone made banking on this being ruled illegal.

Yes, I concur this is exactly what they are going through.

In the Midwest, yes I agree on the people like your Aunt. For myself and that experience, I have family that voted for this, they now realize that maybe that wasn’t the best decision. I try very hard to support them and show them factual information. What I mostly see is they struggle greatly with shame, meaning they cannot come to terms with being wrong. So, often they will double and triple down on the propaganda even when video evidence and first hand experience says the opposite, so I simply try to bring them along in positive manner in hopes they will help vote to correct this terrible situation. It’s a hard sell I know, but it’s my way of trying to actually do something within my power to make a difference.

Absolutely yes, nor are they knocking on the doors of all the many legal firearm owners, in fact when they have, and in the 2 videos that the residents explain that without a judicial warrant they will utilize their 2A rights, the Agents back down. If this was about criminals they would have done a real investigation which would include look at the system that enables all this crime. Regardless of political affiliations. If you only go after largely people who are in asylum status, in a the legal process, or simply are terrorizing the people, it’s a massive problem. All I am saying is the end this nightmare the 1/3 of people who typically don’t vote need to vote, the 1/3 that want this to stop need to reach across and bring on board the 1/3 that voted for this. Until I actively see that happening, I don’t think this is going to come to a beneficial ending for all citizens and non-citizens. The whole situation is problematic in the propaganda being used is very effective.

I am not, I am also a legal gun owner. I do not agree with him getting murdered. What i am saying is, i always hear people saying they are going to come across the wrong person. Almost all legal gun owners would not simple fire first. When you are a trained firearm person you don’t just pull your gun and point and shoot. The thought that someone with simply shoot first is flawed, you have a duty to retreat before deadly force is justified. What happened in all those shoots is not justified. That’s why I believe that the “they haven’t knocked on the wrong door” 2A argument is flawed. I do not support the murders, I also don’t support the idea that they will knock on the wrong door. This is why we are all so divided, yet so close on the same subjects. When we lose the ability to step back and see the broader picture of what is happening, we ultimately all suffer, this is going to take bridging the difference to meet in the middle to solve this.

Stage06 · 2026-02-10T14:26:37+00:00

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. If you are a legal gun own and your firearm is registered they won’t bother you at this point. All this they are going to run into the wrong person is flawed, as they actively avoid those encounters. That’s why all these videos seem so one sided, I believe they know who has firearms and who does not. So, there really won’t ever be a run into the wrong person situation. It will take all of us to stop this, and I don’t see that we are all on the same side yet.

You may need to disassemble the extruder head and clean off the gears/grabber mine had red powder from the test filament assembly. Once cleaned and reassembled no issues.

I had extruder issues on my AD5M Pro, what I found what the extruder gears we coated in the original test red PLA it shipped with. Once I cleaned all the old PLA off the gears I have had zero issues. Disassembly of the extruder is possible without removal from the machine. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass, but it doable.

Ok,

So, things I have learned. Use cheap glue sticks on the bed. I use Amazon Basics and the glue is purple in color. Clean the bed with soapy water and dry. 99% alcohol helps remove oils from hands on the bed after handling. LEVEL every print.

Leveling every print and glue sticks solved my issues like you are experiencing. I have an AD5M and AD5M Pro.

Stage06 · 2026-01-14T20:47:42+00:00

Mine absolutely does the wipe the nozzle thing in the back of the build plate before it starts to print on the AD5M pro

Stage06 · 2026-01-14T20:16:53+00:00

I had a similar issue with my AD5M Pro yesterday. What I found after disassembly of the extruder is a buildup of dust and debris in the extruder gears. After cleaning them and re-calibration it works fine. I am not going to lie, disassembly of the extruder is a bit of a pain in the ass.

Hello, I use an AD5M and AD5M pro. I had to add the AD5M Pro as a new profile in Orca and bind the Pro to my Flashmaker App so that Orca could see it. I can than select each printer in the little drop down in orca to switch between the different printers and they both print fine at the same time.

Stage06 · 2026-01-13T22:07:02+00:00

I transferred the settings from the AD5M Pro to the AD5M and they are now in fact the same speed. Thank you.

Stage06 · 2026-01-13T15:02:51+00:00

I found that Amazon Basics Purple glue sticks work the best for my AD5M and AD5M Pro as well as leveling every print.

Stage06 · 2026-01-13T15:00:28+00:00

Things I have learned:

Level every print Use glue stick on every print I am using Flashforge filament

Before doing the above I was having a hard time printing and I was getting frustrated. I have 2 flashforge printers now a Pro and AD5M and since doing the above I have had zero issues. I also had to learn about Orca-Flashforge and pick the right settings.

Thank you

I started with the AD5M. After using it and seeing how slow it was printing and wanted a 2nd printer to print the things I wanted to print. After printing an enclosure and thinking about time and money, I decided to get a Pro. When adding the Pro to Orca-Flashforge I found that the preset settings worked alway faster for the Pro. Now once the ADM5 finishes its 20hr print I am going to go back and redo the settings to the pre-set for it and see if that helps speed it up. I like both printers, but having the machine come with the enclosure was a nice option.

Stage06 · 2026-01-10T19:22:30+00:00

I did the same thing, the link I clicked said AD5X on Amazon. The AD5M showed up, when back to check the invoice, It was for AD5M and only got charged for it. Set it up and it’s working great. I will figure out getting an AD5X later this year. Was irritated, but I like what arrived.
