I print PETG on my AD5M without much issue now... but when I first tried i had similar issues. One major issue, which i didn't read in your original post post was the filament quality. For starters not all filament is equal.... but even more so, petg is far less forgiving than pla or pla+. That bein

The FlashForge multi-color module is called IFS. No need to confuse the people inventing new terms. From my opinion, this sub is getting flooded by questions from people not giving a clue how to use a 3D printer, which could really make you thinking that it's full of problems. From my experience, th

That squeaking noise is strange, but for the fan whistling, I recommend this: FlashForge Adventurer 5m (AD5M) Hot end retainer with fan duct (silencer) por Raym00n | Descargar modelo STL gratuito | Printables.com

I’ve got an ender 3, flash forge AD5M and the Centauri Carbon. Highly recommend the CC. For me it’s been mostly plug and play, it comes enclosed, can do 320c nozzle temp, has a 256x256 build plate and works really well. The CC2 is out and can do 350c nozzle and multi material but I personally don’t

It's definitely 220x220x220mm build volume I have one with around 700 hours on it and they are great until they start having issues. Support sucks imo and I've had to replace my nozzle/hot end, extruder cable, and extruder board all within 3 months of owning it. I believe either the cable or board h

At 200 it's rough. I have a refurbished AD5M I got on eBay for about $180 shipped, and you can still find them at that price on Flashforge's official account. It's really not as good of a printer as the CC, but it's not terrible. The build quality is definitely inferior, the screen is resistive inst

I used this exact enclosure. I sold my ender for a Flash Forge AD5M and I still use the enclosure. Good results for keeping a temp controlled space.

I don't know, I have a K1, A1, A1 mini, and a p1s, and I've almost never changed my nozzle. But my coworker who has his AD5M brought it over, and I've ran it at work a few times and I love it. And the fact that you can quick change the nozzle like my A1 is a selling point. I once had a severe clog o

Flashforge AD5M pro, pretty easy to use, its enclosed with the ability to change between internal air recirculation filtering and external venting with filter, the hot end has an easy to change nozzle which is just 2 tabs you push in and pull the nozzle out no taking apart your hot end to change the
