I use a flashforge adventurer 5m the drive gear is definitely not ideal, and if i had a smaller nozzle (i printed the whole thing on a .4mm nozzle) then i probably could have gotten it 100% accurate.

As someone who owns resin printers, CoreXY, and bedslingers, there is nothing more reliable than the A1/A1 mini. The A1s are mechanically simple. The amount of belts, rails, screws, etc are much lower than on a CoreXY. Less maintenance, more reliability. The only stability concerns with any bedsling

The loud fan is the heatsink fan, not the 5015 blower parts cooling fan. That fan is a radial 3010.

The mobile and pc ui for the flash forge app sucks and is re

I came from a Ender 3 and got both a Flashforge Adventurer 5m and a Elegoo Centauri Carbon. I would pick the Centauri Carbon easily, its more consistent

MY PROBLEM: OrcaSlicer screwed up on an STL, which would only print 2 layers and quite. I researched and didn't find THE CAUSE. Solution was to use a different Slicer. I did several slicers and chose PrusaSlicer - it works. PrusaSlicer doesn't have Flashforge profiles. I setup a Machine profile and

I’ve had nothing but problems with my adventurer 5m. It’s my second 3D printer ever and I always deal with issues. You can see in my post history. Overall I’m looking to get away from flashforge to something more reliable.
