Creator 5 Pro

Feck it lads..... all this adding fluff or AI and locking us all down. As a Prusa owner and Flashforge (AD5X), some contrast with their eco systems. I am going to shift the AD5X off for a new home, step over the Creator 5 Pro and move to Snapmaker U1. We gotta make a stand.

The Creator 5 Pro is interesting hardware but worth researching before jumping. FlashForge runs proprietary locked firmware (no Klipper) and their historical software development has lagged behind competitors significantly. The criticism is basically: if you're going to lock down the ecosystem, you

That is completely up to you to decide! I personally don’t want to pay $1300 Canadian so I can stand in front of my printer to make sure it doesn’t catch on fire. I still have a Creator 5 Pro coming but I won’t be leaving it unattended until I, or FlashForge comes up with a fix. And btw, I really do

I get all that, I really do. A lot of people in 3D printing are competent enough to print a purge bin and empty it regularly. But it is not the user’s job to fix safety issues on a 3D printer. It’s not the user’s job to fix any issue on a 3D printer anymore. That era ended when the Ender 3 stopped b

I also have the Creator 5 Pro on order. My concern is the slicer. I am in a locked-down situation and generally just run portable apps, like Orca Portable. Getting the IT department to support the FlashForge Orca may be a problem. They suggest that I create a small network that is isolated from the

I'm in a similar situation and am waiting a little longer to see how the flashforge creator 5 pro or sovol m1d turn out once the dust settles. The C5P but open source would be perfect but there seems to be some subpar design choices and initial teething problems with the firmware. Hopefully flashfor

You can add 3mf files as objects into an existing project and it carries over painting, volume modifiers, fuzzy skin etc. Roughly 99% of the print profiles on makerworld are utter inexcusable trash anyway so when I'm printing other people's models I almost never end up printing them with the author'

I'm looking at them but when I ordered the X2D it was still cheaper in a combo than the U1 by 30% or so and is fully enclosed at that price. I was able to add an AMS-HT and filament track switch and still be lower on price. I'd probably trust snapmaker more than flashforge but the AD5M Pros are doin

I still have my creator 5 pro I got through the preorder with only 15 minutes of print time. I’m paranoid about it now because I can’t just return it like this creator 5 from Amazon. I’ve gotten 2 email responses on this one and neither one has addressed that little broken pin. Just that they would

Thanks Everyone for the suggestions! I gave the nozzle size back to .4mm a try (good suggestion, I somehow overlooked), and the list still showed generic PLA only. It couldn't be that easy. Not for me anyway. :-) Here's what I did to resolve this issue: I uninstalled Flash Forge Desktop through Syst
