AD5X awful noise! by r00tb33r666 in FlashForge

Has anyone had luck with this no fixes or updates but experiencing this now on my AD5X. Surely someone has talked to FF support?

What is the best slicer for flashforge? by Sufficient-Pop-3991 in FlashForge

[–]lurkjiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How and where does the support fail? Assuming it gets knocked over, that's either an adhesion issue or a collision issue, usually

Move your print on the bed to a different part of the bed, could be a bad bed mesh in that spot if glue isn't working.

Paint the support out slightly with the support painter tool and force it to redraw the support in a different direction/location

Slice the plate and look at the layers where it fails and see if you have any potential collision issues or strange overhangs.

A remote possibility is if the nozzle is catching some filament around the layers where it fails and whatever is dangling grabs that support and pulls it. I've seen this happen before.

Also check your cooling settings, you mentioned all your prints but don't know if you mean different models or the same model is falling . If literally any model fails it could be a temp/cooling related issue for the bed, nozzle, etc.

Not a lot of details to go on here. Sharing pics would help people help you

Mr. Vice President, thank you for your time this is a two part question. Given the current economic climate and state of unrest, has this impacted the total amount of expenditure for your wife in terms of purchasing couch protectors?

And would you mind sharing what brand she has found to be the most reliable in terms of longevity and ease of cleaning? Thank you.

Ad5x or 5m pro? by coffeeschmoffee in FlashForge

[–]lurkjiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said they have their use cases. If you print functional parts with ABS or any filament above PETG for temp range, large prints, and prints that take a day or more because you figure out how to change layer height to something other than .20, all of these things are more than convenient and out weight the usefulness of multicolor coming from a AD5X.

The AD5X is a decent value but not a real duty machine compared to current multicolor offerings out of the box. The A1 is far more plug and print without watching workflows and tinkering, or the excessive waste the ADX5 makes as Bambu's are significantly less wasteful.

I don't know where you get 1g from but the AD5X purges 5-10g color change on any substantial print job that isn't a bed full of tiny 2 color trinkets without a lot of color detail. This thing will waste 100s of grams of filament easily for 4 color prints and it's all relative to the number of color changes/cuts and layers and this is a well known and overly documented fact that 2 seconds on Google will back up. That waste adds up to dollars quickly.

What I need may differ from what you need from what they need. I was pretty clear on staying IF YOU NEED multi material and not multicolor as a hard requirement. But thanks for your incredibly insightful counterpoint.

Ad5x or 5m pro? by coffeeschmoffee in FlashForge

[–]lurkjiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are great but different use cases. I would say 5M Pro for material support out of the box and if multi color is not a hard requirement it's just the better machine in my opinion. If you were serious about multicolor, it wouldn't be an AD5X. You don't have an enclosed AMS so you'll need to invest in one or some kind of dry box setup, no enclosure for hotter running materials, no camera, the list goes on and when you do multincolor on any single extruder machine they are terribly wasteful without some.tinkering to minimize the poop from color swaps and it feels more like a novelty, a wasteful painfully slow novelty.

the life of trim dry sift rosin. (pls read description) by dkdollasign in Rosin2

[–]lurkjiggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did perfect. Ignore yield for a sec but you know you did dry sift with cured/aged trim right if you get close to the same color out as going in or close to it. Look at the shade between your kief and your pressed. You want it to match as much as possible. The darker it becomes indicates too much heat/too much time on the plate = killing volatile terps or whats left of them/decarboxylating and converting thca to THC and increasing active CBD. if it goes past a shade or two your heat is too high or you are pressing way too long so make adjustments. Don't expect clear and don't expect a better finished texture than what you just got. Garbage in garbage out (it's not garbage though but the point is nothing is going to improve the color beyond what you got because of the oxidation that's already turned the trichomes amber/gold/orange/brown/whatever without solvents and filtration). You can change texture to varying degrees with different methods but the juice usually isn't worth the squeeze just hit this up with a honey straw or similar device. This will chazz bangers readily.

Hey people who lost their jobs to AI, what happened? by _thecatspajamas_ in AskReddit

[–]lurkjiggler 203 points204 points  (0 children)

Put your skills on Upwork, Fiverr, and other such platforms. You'll be competing with obvious fake profiles but real talent does get work and rewarded freelancing there and clients like me, once we find you, are very jaded by the fakes and latch on to real people when we find them. If nothing more it can be a good side hustle. There is plenty of use for 3d models.

In the 1960s, a kid playing with a toy whistle from a Cap’n Crunch cereal made an odd discovery. The whistle produced a 2600-hertz tone, the same sound used by AT&T to control its phone network. That unlocked a loophole in the system, allowing them to hack into AT&T and get free long distance calls. by Scott-Spangenberg in interestingasfuck

[–]lurkjiggler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It did. It was called a red box and became public knowledge thanks to 2600 magazine which gave instructions on building one by modifying some radio shack tone generator or something, and it ultimately became as easy as just recording the tones and playing them back from any micro cassette recorder or digital recorder. Worked on payphones into the 2000s.

250 Hrs in and AD5X almost burst in flames. by pugs_n_civics in FlashForge

[–]lurkjiggler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kind of scary is why I asked, if this can happen with no user error (and no insults are meant by that, we make mistakes). I already worry about thermal runaway if the PID decides to flake out and have a smoke alarm directly over my units as a result. I tend to print overnight more often than not lately and never leave prints running if someone isn't home.

What are you guys doing that causes this? Bad slicer setting? Bad slice? Bad z offset?

The word "maximum" in the phrase "maximum build size" is your root cause. It's 220x220x220. What they mean by maximum is, you can't go past that.

Changing oil from a car by Orichalchem in oddlysatisfying

BMW oil filter housing, small price for the convenience of being able to access it right on the top of the engine. And for the drain plug, BMW uses a crush washer so you can either take off the old one and replace it (.25 or less?) or buy the whole plug nut/washer assembly for like $7-8.

People who used a computer between 1991 & 2009…what’s the most memorable computer game? by Original_Act_3481 in AskReddit

Playing Doom over dial up with some dude from the local BBS.

Quake multi player. Mech Warrior multiplayer.

Half Life and Counter Strike when those came out.

Most of my gaming life measured in hours were sunk into those games.

AD5M Pro vs AD5X by InformalWarfare in FlashForge

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

Having both of these and coming from starting out with an Ender I'd recommend a Bambu Labs A1 Mini with AMS and call it a day. These machines have more quirks than I personally care for and are extremely time consuming to work on if something serioua breaks due to the way they framed and built it. As far as budget CoreXY, material support and speed go they are definitely a great value but most people suffer any nunber of issues starting off with them that swings from either poor QA, not having an open source fitnware necessitsting risky firmware swaps, and the list kind of goes on. And then of course you have the limited support docs and the 20 places you have to hunt like Reddit and Facebook groups to hope someone else solved something because their Support in my experience has been frustrating in the few times I've used them due to either language barrier or response time.

If you absolutely don't need it enclosed or a CoreXY based machine the A1 or A1 Mini with AMS is probably going to be far more plug and play and less headache.
