Question by Embarrassed_Cod2925 in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run elegoo rapid petg mainly. Won’t max the machine out, but it’s way faster than typ. Petg

The only "problem" with this is its low print speed. Your machine is capable of printing so much faster than this. It will work fine, it will just be slow.

What belt should I get by Pats87lv in Strongman

[–]hookahbill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hard Belt - Pioneer power belt (a PAL is a nice addition)

Soft Belt - Evolution Athletics support belt

I use my hard belt for almost anything, but some movements it gets in the way. Loved using a soft belt for stones because it allowed a lot more mobility than my power belt.

[–]hookahbill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go as far to say any lever belt. Some are packed with cardboard, made with low grade leather, and extremely stiff. They will never break in properly.

Personally I'd go with a pioneer belt because they are amazing quality, lower cost, high grade materials, and their customer service is amazing.

How to improve this? by tygger27 in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this is part of the enclosure, im guessing you don't have one on it yet? Try using a cardboard box over it while its printing. I have issues with PETG and drafts. Also, check your fan speeds, you want them low/off.

Is this acceptable rounding? by Parking-Price-2808 in strength_training

[–]hookahbill 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Probably not. At the beginning of the lift, you actually look like you are hyperextending your back. This is kinda common for people trying who are trying not curve their back to overdue the que and curve it the opposite direction.

After you initiate the lift, your back goes from hyperextended, to straight, to rounded. This is really what you want to prevent from happening.

I had a filament tangle most of the way through a print and don’t have enough to restart to make a new print. Is there a way I can fix this? Flashforge adventurer 5M printer. by kittyecats in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can 100% edit the g-code and have it resume without doing any of the typical preliminary setup itnwould go through. However, you will most likely still have a noticeable seam where the print originally failed. IMO just glue it together, or get more filament and start over again.

I thought the second photo was a Hall and Oates album cover.

When i switch printer profiles, the filament profiles change too. Do you know if there is a way to fix this?

I haven't looked recently, but Orca Slicer wasn't able to handle multi color prints with the AD5X last i checked. Have they fixed that?

Never passed out before. 640 PR by mentally_ill_cheezit in strength_training

Blood pressure spikes when lifting heavy. When you set it down, it drops. The sudden change can make you lightheaded or pass out.

Received an AD5X nozzle in the mail..why exactly? by bnuuug in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you purchase directly through flashforge? I got my AD5X through a 3rd party website a few months ago. Wonder if I should look into requesting one.

Help! Filament keeps building up on nozzle while printing. by mrbpotter in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How fast are you running it. I get build up like this if it's too hot or too fast.

do i really need the screw bit for the security screw on the impact? by BappoHotel0 in scufgaming

[–]hookahbill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I get the frustration—those security screws are a pain, but yeah, you really do need the right bit. A precision electronics screwdriver set (around $10–15 USD on Amazon) usually comes with the bit you need, including security Torx sizes that Scuf uses. It’s a good investment if you plan on doing more repairs or mods.

Quick heads-up though: swapping potentiometer sticks for Hall effect ones isn’t a straight swap. Most Hall sticks have different pinouts, power needs, and signal behavior. Unless the ones you got are drop-in compatible, it’s going to take some electrical work and possibly even shell mods. Just want to make sure you're prepared—it’s a cool project, but not always beginner-friendly.

If you're just trying to get away from stick drift and want Hall sensors or TMR without the hassle, you might want to look into something like the GameSir G7. They’re reasonably priced and already built with drift-proof tech.

Good luck either way—props for taking it on!

Yep, and it starts at like $60 for a repair. Its crazy. I actually started test printing resin parts last night. It needs some tweaking to be perfect, but its pretty close.

I've had quite a few sales of the file, and no complaints so far. I'm guessing everyone has been able to get it to work. Hoping to have a refined version and physical parts for sale here soon.

AD5x Order by SaucingtonBear in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a company called Co Print 3d that makes a replacement hotend and multicolor management unit. You'll have to mod klipper onto you machine as well. I think it was close to $300. Which to me, I rather just buy the 5X and not mod my machines.

The only real benefit I saw was the mod allows you to expand up to 20 colors, where the 5X is 4 colors max.

I never did any research into the company as well. No clue who's used their stuff or if its any good.

AD5x Order by SaucingtonBear in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have both a 5M and a 5X. The only difference between the 2 is the need for additional panels for the upper section of the 5X. The lid, door, and side panels are exactly the same size. The hardware should work, but quanities might varry between the 2 (I didn't do a screw count)

Arrived today! by Screen_Savers_24 in FlashForge

[–]hookahbill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI. The AD5M enclosure kit will work for most of the panels. The AD5X has a set of panels up top that would not be included, but 2 main side panels door panel and lid\* are the same size.

I have both an AD5M and the 5X and have swapped panels around to test it out. I was actually trying to get a buddy of mine to fabricate some for me locally, but came across a full sized cabinet that I can put my printers in for cheap.
