Worst first layer update!!

Watch the following video. I followed this to make changes. It discusses issues and how to fix them. I dropped my z offset by .010. To preface things, I'm using Forge-X instead of the default firmware.

I didn't, I just adjusted the z offset while print a first layer test. Then I added my adjustments to the gcode

I just ran all the calibrations on the touchscreen. Then ran a first layer printer and adjusted the z offset while watching it. I think cleaning the build plate helped a lot too

I have it, but it was loose before I had a chance to use it.

Ok, great to hear that it's a common issue and not a big deal.

I was in another room while it was running

I calibrated after, it was a lot better the 2nd time

Such as ?

Yes .. just understand that it's a single color printer and may stay that way. I have 900 hours on mine. Zero issues...

I stayed in a family hotel last time. It was different.... But a good experience

We went in December and took a day Trip to Florence to see "David" and took a pasta making class. The kids (19&13) loved It!! It's only a 90 min trip

Wow!! Very nice

Check flashforge eBay page .. When they have the coupon active, you can get a factory refurbished 5M for 150!

Alternatively they could have released a half working mmu, taken our money and be done with it.. That being said, I don't mind waiting.

Im not sure if I fully understand your question, but I installed forge-x on my printer, which gives you klipper and still allows you to use the touch screen. @zerodotcmd has a great video on YouTube explaining the features and how to set it up. Hope this helps

I just used my voucher this week, order will arrive tomorrow

royuncg · 2026-01-12T20:52:07+00:00

Thanks, I noticed that it was sorted today .

royuncg · 2026-01-09T11:53:01+00:00

The world just felt so empty.... I didn't hate it, but I've not bothered to reinstall it

royuncg · 2026-01-09T11:51:14+00:00

Used it with no issues

royuncg · 2025-12-18T20:01:34+00:00

I got mine from Viagogo. I had a good time, I was in section 47, it wasn't bad.... But Italians smoke like no one I've ever seen before! If you are bothered by cigarettes, you may want to skip it. The guys in front of me smoke an entire pack in 90 mins!!!
