I recently just switched my ABS Extruder to PLA, did one successful print in the PLA then on my second print, around 85% of the print being complete (about an hour in) the extruder stopped feeding filament and there was quite a distinctive clicking sound. I have tried upping the temps and pushing it through, also pulling it out and re loading but nothing is working. Anyone got any tips on unclogging.
Hi all - I have a Flashforge Creator 3 which has been running great for months now. Just installed a 6mm hardened nozzle and ran into problems. My right heater is now registering 1025 C when viewed on the STATUS screen and will not heat up. Possibly I shorted something out while disassembling/reassembling the nozzle assembly? I then replaced the thermocouple and swapped out the Right Extruder Circuit Transfer Board with a new spare. No luck. However, still able to print with the left print head. Before going forward replacing the heater and other component attempting to eliminate the problem, I wanted to check with those more knowledgeable than me. Any suggestions?
Hi All,
I am new to resin 3D printing and have a Flashforge 6.0 3D printer, and I have done everything that it says in the manual about bed levelling, but the prints stick to the FEP and sometimes on the FEP and build-plate! Any idea what I am doing wrong as it is driving me crazy!
Thank you in advance.
Tony
I've had my Adventure 3 for a couple weeks now. Everytime I go to calibrate the platform it says something totally different. I can get it perfect where an index card slides under with a small amount of tension. Then I run the calibration again and there's a gap the size of the Grand Canyon. Anyone know why it keeps changing on me or what I can do to fix this?
Hi all
I love my Creator Pro in combination with Simplify 3D - it's sturdy and prints endlessly - nearly endlessly.
However - my Creator Pro nears end of its life-cycle. I consider to replace it with the IDEX version - Creator Pro 2.
I'm fine with the slightly higher price tag - but I wonder, whether there is any reason not to upgrade, but replacing the creator pro.
Any reason you'd say, why I should not replace it with the idex version? Thnx for any hints, I have overlooked in the reviews and forum about the Creator Pro 2?
Hello, I've been trying for a while now to 3d print this model in 2 colors with my IDEX Creator Pro 2. My issue is is that I have no way of selecting the parts of the model that I want to be printed with a certain extruder. This is where the part where I tried to model. I tried to separate the whole part into 2 models but my lack of 3D modeling abilities didn't help. I've tried Meshmixer, Blendr, and Fusion 360 but I couldn't make any progress with them. I know Prusa Slicer has a drawing option for models but I can't find a working Profile for the Creator Pro 2. So If anyone has suggestions for how to accomplish this I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi there. My employer recently bought a Flashforge Foto 13.3 MSLA printer and I've been trying to figure out how to get consistent prints off it. I ran some test rubber ducks over the weekend, and when I took them off the build plate, I've noticed that they all have this mis-alignment in them. Some are more out of alignment than others, but it's always there.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I used Chitubox Basic to set up and slice the model. I've had more success with it than I did with Flashprint.
I have an Adventurer 3, purchased Christmas 2021. I currently use Flashprint and the old 123D design software. I have not been happy with the quality of my prints. My primary issues are that I get a lot of threads showing on the finished product and I have to set the z-space to .4 to even begin to get it separated from the raft. So, I started shopping for a new slicer and now have lots of questions. Any help would be great.
Am I correct in thinking that my issues are slicer related?
What slicers work well with Adventurer 3. I am considering purchasing Simplify but want to know if that's a good option. I am not able to invest the time in learning to fine tune gcodes so I want a slicer that is designed to work with Adventurer 3 rather than Cura which I could make work, but don't have the necessary knowledge base for that.
I've been successfully printing on my Creator Pro using Simplify3D for 5 years. Due to the lack of updates for S3D I have decided to move on. I've chosen IdeaMaker as it seems to have many good options and is updated regularly.
I am passing the gcode via Octoprint (as I did successfully with S3D) which handles the conversion to X3G.
I have input all the FFCP dimensions, etc into IdeaMaker but it seems to have trouble with centering the print. I have made adjustments to the start gcode, with limited success. Initially, the extruders were homing to the back right corner. I have moved the bed origin to the 'center' (as was S3D) and this has helped a little but the prints are still not centered properly.
I have selected 'Marlin' as the firmware as 'Sailfish' is not an option. There is no 'Makerbot' but there is a 'Reprap' option. Is this possibly relevant?
Does anyone here have any experience with IdeaMaker and FFCP? Or suggestions on what to try next?
