AD5M

Way better method of monitoring your printer remotely than Flashforges awful app. Better control over just about every aspect of your printer. Bed mesh function that allows you to make sure your bed is physically level, which makes the auto-level way more accurate and prints come out better. Select

My AD5M worked essentially out of the box. It printed its little cube, and I did the bed leveling on the first print with Orca-Flashforge, and all was well. Hopefully yours will work as flawlessly. The only thing I would do is figure out the firmware version. I understand the latest firmware sucks,

I can only speak to the AD5X personally, but- This is the disadvantage of having a printer tied to cloud-based servers. If the servers have issues, you can’t print. Solutions: -Switch to LAN-Only mode. You aren’t reliant on their servers, but you will lose ability to remotely monitor via their apps.

No that version sucks too. This is what i use. With no controls on the UI, just thru the web interface. https://github.com/xblax/flashforge_ad5m_klipper_mod Forge-x has some pretty promising firmware too, its just very early in development yet. I tried it for a short time but ill wait for it to be mor

ZMOD is the only one I know of for the AD5X... For the AD5M there is Forge-X? Personally I'm running ZMOD on my AD5X - can't recommend it enough! Flashing that is the very first thing that everyone should do - kinda like using Edge to download Firefox! lol.

You don't need the ssh access unless you intend to go back to stock and Forge-X uninstall nuked your AD5M json file (it did for mine) which I believe is a rare side effect of the removal process. The screen loss is just some of the stock functions but you can control literally everything from a web

I like having the native orca slicer app instead of the outdated Flashforge fork. The only issue I'm having with Forge-X and my AD5M Pro is that the idle power off no longer works. Before Forge-X, on the stock firmware if the printer was idle for a while (30ish minutes?) it would eventually power of

I was frustrated all last night with this issue but figured it out this morning. I had searched google for ad5m software, clicked a search result, found orca slicer and download/installed it. I couldn't sign in or find my printer on the network. This morning I went to flash forges website, logged in

I don’t see anyone mention FlashForge. But I’ve been very happy with mine. I have a couple of Ad5m pros that are work horses and a Ad5x that I printed an enclosure for. They’re mostly feature rich aside from an app, but they’re open source so you can install different firmware and get all the contro

Any videos you could recommend for getting Forge-X calibrated? I did the Klipper mod for my AD5M and spent like two days trying to get the z-offset to calibrate only for it to keep going back to trying to print way too far from the plate. Ended up re-flashing FF’s firmware back onto the machine. For
