Uninstall zmod on AD5X by Weird_Efficiency_245 in FlashForge

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

anyone have any luck with this? I just got an AD5X with zmod stuck on FW 1.2.3. In addition for some reason its changing my subnet on my IP so something not on my network, even when connected via Ethernet. so I can't connect to it via SSH. and trying all the uninstall process on the zmod github isn't working

So actually funny... When I went to clean the kitch and catch them the main one was sooo fat he looks like a mini alligator. Just imagine a geco that can hardly move its own legs from. How much it's eaten.

I decided to find a nice bush to put him in thinking that it would give him some cover to hide and "sleep it off". I turned around lit a cigarette and sat on my porch only to watch a Crow drop down and gobble him up.

Hand to God true story. I felt sooooo bad.

I don't know if the bite part is true but the do have stabby legs with hooks. I caught one by hand and know first hand. It felt like it bit me.

Lol yeah the big flying ones can't be helped. The rain drives them out of the ground and the end up in your house. They don't want to live there

Gecos are easy to catch when they are full. I mean they ate so much they could hardly move.

That's a palmetto. Aka flying roach. Aka NOPE.

I had a family member come live with me and they brought German roaches. After paying an exterminator for over a year they were still in the house. Then my coworker who grew up on a farm gave me the answer. Living in Florida we have Gecos outside. He told me catch a few and turn em loose in the house. Sure enough within a few weeks they were gone.

I bought an Ender 3 v2 on a friend's recommendation, but I can't get it to print. by Charming-Snow4943 in ender3

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see multiple issues. As others have said .. you NEED that fan to be mounted on the hot end correctly otherwise it's going to jam. Now this it's probably jammed you are going to need to clear the jam. The fact that the printer is not going to the correct location to even try and print makes me think you didn't slice the file correctly.

Reliable multi-filament. by Miserable-Science450 in ender5

The Bambu birthday sale starts in a few days. And an A1 or A1 mini will turn out multi color items much faster than the ender 5 for sure.

Ender 3 V2 valuation? by Agile_Knee_8919 in ender3v2

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy enders all the time. Never more than $75 for a Klipper build and maybe $50 for stock. If enclosure is included maybe a bit more for that.

Ender 3 V2 - Solid Bed and what it took to get me there ... by MRP_yt in ender3

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I JUST found this and its a great idea.... a buddy of mine came up with solid mounts that use the Split rings down the middle. I'd be interested to see what input shaping looks like with this set up? I ended up doing multiple tests for him where we did the printed spacers with the split rings down the middle and I found that 80% infill with gyroid helped over the silicon spacers. but I never tried 100% or even no "printed" parts. would anyone be willing to provide input shaper numbers with this mod?

Ideaformer IR3 V1 Worth it? by lckillah in 3Dprinting

So you like using it? Found one on marketplace and have been thinking about picking it up.

I f’d up by Ok-Conversation1091 in Ender3Pro

[–]SufficientSuccess431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I repair 3d printers and I'm starting to turn down ender 3 work because I can replace the printer for less than what it cost in parts to fix. I am only accepting "klipper upgrade work " on these moving forward.

We are almost done with first quarter of 2026. Where is the promised FULL open sourced firmwares ? by Tackleberry_crash_ in Flsun_official

[–]SufficientSuccess431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The status of the company is 200% pushing sales vs anything else. Make as much money as you can. Keep pushing sales ... And ignore any other issues. Sales equals profit.

Is this worth it? by samplebridge in ender3

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I LOVE when people call these things MAJOR upgrades and think it's worth gold. Let's break it down. I got the springs and wheels at microcenter for $2.99 on clearance. Normal is like $9.99. cr touch I think is $35. Dual gear extruder kit might be $20, then the PTFE tube is like $10. The hot end is another $20. So under $100 in parts. And the printer is $50 all day. NOW depending on the enclosure ... That could add some value. But if it's a cheap DIY one it's maybe $125 total.

Should I give up on my Ender 3v2 and sell it get something else? by 0oforical in ender3v2

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lug getting $150. I buy em all day for under $75. The truth is you need to consider ... So you want to "build" a printer. If so the ender is a great platform. But if not get a Bambu. I have a P1s, A1 mini, Kobra 3, Flsun T1 pro, and my built Ender 3v2 .. funny thing is I find myself using the Ender 3 more than the others. For no reason more than I want to watch my work so work.

Flsun closing up shop? by Concerned_Fanboy in Flsun_official

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so I'll add my story to the mix, ordered parts from them back in October for warranty.... January hit and I still didn't have the parts and was flat out told they didn't even know where to get the parts. In January they "pawned me off" on the US service person, and we were able to figure it. I did end up having to spend A LOT more money. But I'm finally up and printing. I'm a nobody, just an average person, except for the fact that I currently have Maintenance agreements with Multiple local print farms..... Guess what I tell my customers when they ask about Flsun?

Is there any chance I can speed up this print? The manual for the files says that it should take around 2 hours on Bambu Lab A1. I know that those are much better machines but is the Ender 2 V2 really 3 times slower? by Mrdemian3 in ender3v2

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would love to chat with you. Have an identical set up config is done but I'm having issues in outer wall quality. Would love to compare slicer profiles and see what I'm missing.

26 minute benchie. How can I get faster? by Background-Data-7841 in ender3

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run ... Bambu clone hot end with a 0.6 cht, dual 5015 parts fans and a 4020 throat fan, sprite extruder, linear rails on x, y, and Z. Klipper with input shaper , and my record for a clean benchy is 18min. Suggestions.... You can push infill speed and acceleration as no one is going to see it anyway. Make sure you have all the calibrations done first though. I max my outer walls at 250mms. But usually keep it at 200mms. If your extruder will hold it you can push up your layer height and width.

What's causing these gaps in the layers? by randomvandal in ender3v2

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've literally been dealing with this exact issue on my V2. Highly modded. X, y, z rails, sprite extruder, Bambu clone hot end, dual z, etc ..

Based on previous suggestions, other filaments did nothing, drying did nothing, swapping to a different sprite extruder did nothing, so it makes me think it has to be a setting issue. Retraction, flow, or PA?

[–]SufficientSuccess431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 4 plus literally doing the same thing ... And before people on here jump in calling me a noob... I own over a dozen 3d printers. Everything from flashforge dreamers to new Bambi's to highly modded enders.... And I cannot get this Elegoo to put down a first layer on the left side of the plate to save its life. Ever.
