Creator 5 Pro Do's and Don'ts Guide?

I’ve had no issues so far. Take your time unboxing and assembling it. Note that the top cover isn’t square - pay attention to the 2 short and 2 long sides as you assemble it. When I first powered it up, I followed the setup menus, which included running the calibration process. It took quite some ti

Bambu Lab 3D printers contain a kill switch. After upgrading the 3D printer to a higher model, you need remote activation of the new board

Snapmaker U1, flashforge creator 5, both way better for multi material printing, and these are 3d printers, bc what's the point of sticking to one company again? And for budget option - sovol zero. I own one, i know people love to say it's printer you need to tinker a bit, but plain is good enough a

Another boring question

I was going to go with the x2d because it has dual nozzles. Then I found out they use different extruder between the 2 nozzles and the print quality is different between them. I ended up getting the flashforge creator 5 pro and have been super happy with it. The x2d is a good printer though, I would

What's The Best 3D Printer For a Beginner Right Now?

If I was to buy a new printer now I would buy a toolchanger. Like the Snapmaker U1 or the Flashforge Creator 5 if you have a budget. There is no good reason to buy a printer from the last 1 or even 2 generations in my opinion. I think you would regret such a decision in max 1 year at least I know I'

X2D + U1 or H2C...what is the best choice for everything?

Howdy fellow Engineer! I'm only 3 weeks into 3d printing. And my first printer out of the gates was the X2D. Hot Diggity, it's been a blast so far. My goal with the X2D is to make variety of functional prints using engineering materials and it's been working perfectly. Of course now there is the Sna

Should I wait for the indx?

The Flashforge Creator 5 Pro seems a bit cheaper than the Core One L + INDX, and prints nicely, but if the price and the wait are not an issue for you, I would still wait. I trust Bondtech to make a great product, and technologically the INDX seems just way more advanced. I'm optimistically expectin

The support provided in this ticket regarding my Bambu Lab P2S has been completely unacceptable.

Myself bought a Flashforge Creator 5 pro privately for having fun. Cost about the same. Bonus is I can make masking stuff for my coating company in nylon. If you as a company cant afford a better machine for prototype workshop, I feel sorry for you. You really need to add some to get a real machine.

Would you recommend the Anycubic Kobra S1 as a first printer for functional and engineering parts?

I can’t speak on engineering materials because I’ve never used them. But yes it would be a GREAT first printer. It was my third printer and it’s the easiest one to use. It outperforms my bambu & flashforge printers. My s1 max is better but also double the price. I just got my flashforge creator 5 on
