Another awesome guide! Got OrcaSlicer going with my new 5M and being able to send print jobs from my Mac over wifi is great! This whole series on the 5M has been a gold nugget of info - thanks for making these videos.
You have a gift for teaching. So easy to follow. Most tutorials force me to slow down the play speed or watch segments over and over because the presenter is talking so fast. Thank you!
I just ordered my AD5M as a first 3d printer. I'm going to start with Orca and ignore flashprint. Your video is going to be essential. You earned a sub. Very well done presentation.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. ive been trying to get files from orca slicer to my printer for THREE days. and finally i found this video to fix it. thank you again for helping me. +1 subscriber
Thank you so much for this detailed guide. I have just setup my 5m Pro and I would not have had the same 1st time user experience without this. Thank you again.
Great Tutorial! I have been using Flashprint 5 up till now and although I like it, it is limited. I downloaded Orca and took one look and was intimidated. Your video has made Orca as easy as FP5. Thank you. You have earned a subscriber!
I’m having issues sending larger prints over WiFi. Anything over 55mb file size gives an error, anything smaller goes right through. Is this normal or am I missing something?
Your videos are what convinced me to get a FlashForge AD5M and use Orcaslicer. Great tutorial and videos on the machine. Couldn't figure out how to change temp settings in Orca until I seen this video. And the Adventurer 5M is a great machine. Amazing prints right out of the box.
Thank you so very much! I have been pulling my hair out in regards to trying to send the file to my Flashforge Adventurer 3 Lite only to now realise that I cannot do this. I guess we have to wait until this feature is available. Thank you .
Hi do you know where to set the bed temp my flashforh is pre set to 50 when I need it to be at 65 for good adhesion and I could do it on the printer itself however it sometimes will automatically go back to 50 ??
Great video, per usual. Your stuff with the A5M is always very helpful. One thing that people seem to take for granted is people understanding why Orcaslicer is better than Flashprint. I've been using Flashprint since I bought the A5M, and it's pretty much done the job I need/want it to do. What does Orcaslicer have that Flashprint doesn't, what makes it better, etc. It'd be great to see a breakdown of what Orcaslicer can do that Flashprint cannot do. If you know of anyone that has done a comparison video between them feature-wise?
Are there differences in the filaments from different manufacturers? For example, PETG prices can vary considerably from one manufacturer to another. Do the filament settings differ based upon the printer or the filament manufacturer or both?
Yes there can be differences in filament quality and settings based on the manufacturer. Being the cheapest doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad filament, but it's more risky than an established brand that costs a little more. The filament settings can differ depending on your printer. You can print something small just to see how it behaves, then run calibrations if you need to.
I’m so lost I got this printer for my son. We set it up there are a few test items on the system But how are you guys printing all of these cool items like toys?
Great video! One question, I’ve been trying to use Orca Slicer for my AM5 but the printing times are a lot longer when compared to the Flashprint print times. I’ve tried to match the settings as much as possible but still get way higher print times. Is there a way around this? I really like the additional features Orca uses.
That's very odd. If the settings are the same, the print times shouldn't be that different. I would double check to see if you're using the built-in 5M profile in Orcaslicer as well as the same nozzle sizes, filament types and layer heights for both slicers.
I like you r vids are you having a issues with your machine? I have issues with prints just stopping in the middle of a 4hr print and never able to finish. I am thinking FF is not all it is cracked up to be
Can you please do an intermediate or advanced guide? I'd really like to play with the speed settings because I haven't managed to print anything of quality at the higher speeds. Also, a user profile settings file would be neat cause I haven't been able to find any online.
Lovely video ,new to printing, just got the printer thanks to your guides...., you mention that lowering layer height will lower the speeds, i mainly wanna print minis and figures, but they always kinda fail. Don't i need to change speed printings accelerations and stuff to achiece something better or just the layer height willl do th e best speeds for me?
Lowering your layer height and decreasing the speed will help with accuracy and the preservation of smaller details. Since you want to do minis, I would also suggest getting the 0.25mm nozzle which will allow you to print at even lower layer heights than the standard 0.4mm nozzle.
I was trying to connect my printer via wifi to this software but i could'nt do it. I didn't have any problem with flash print so I wonder what did I missed. Unfortunatelly you don't expplain that here.
Edit: Managed to figure out connection. I was putting in the wrong IP address. I you still need to do this, go to PREPARE -> Click the WiFi symbol to the right of the printer name -> Select "Flashforge" under HOST TYPE -> Enter IP address under HOSTNAME/IP/URL -> Click TEST. (to find IP, open Flashprint, go to TOOLS->MACHINE INFO -> IP ADDRESS) Same issue. Downloaded Orca and there's nothing listed under devices. It just shows me a video telling me to connect a device, but when I tried to follow the video it just fails to connect.
Have you gotten the remote printer control to work through Orca? I'm able to send files and print using the IP address but the device window says that the IP refused to connect. I'd like to be able to monitor prints with an camera through the slicer.
I haven't been able to remotely control the printer in Orca beyond sending prints. But you can connect a webcam to the printer via USB and monitor it through a web browser. Type the following link into your browser, and insert your printer's IP address where I've indicated and it should work. your printer's IP:8080/?action=stream

@@FigureFeedback I've tried this and it says the site can't be reached "my ip" refused to connect. Would there be anything I have to change in my network settings to get this to work? Appreciate your response.
@@ReeceMacDonaldDaBallerI believe it's in the 2.0 release but under the Host Type drop down menu there should be an option of Flashforge. Select it and then enter the ip address of the printer.
One thing I found with wireless printing it doesn’t have the level check box on the printer like using a usb stick. So far checking that box has made a difference w the few prints I’ve done so far.
Lots of useful information in the video. However, I absolutely cannot stand when people say "I will put a link in the description" and then I go to the description and... NO LINK. Did you forget about the nozzle storage box?
Guilty as charged. Here's the link, you'll have to scroll down the page to find the storage box. wiki.flashforge.com/en/knowledge_corner/printer-mod-and-diy

Man, love your videos, you're literally the only one talking about this printer that i've found, so calm, collected and informative, fantastic videos.
Thank you so much for this detailed guide. I have just setup my 5m Pro and I would not have had the same 1st time user experience without this. Thank you again.
Thanks, Great video! I just got a 5M and printed the case with OrcaSlicer but now I know so much more about what it can do.
Saving me a lot of research time! Thank you again!
I love your videos, you explain things so straightforward and concise, and you have a great teaching voice! Thank you!
Outstanding video, You are an exceptional instructor. Thanks.
Got my printer yesterday. Thanks for the great videos. I’m super new to 3D printing- your videos are super easy to understand and follow😀
You’re my go to when I look for 3d printing tips lol never going to no other channel. Very simple and well explained man lol
Wow, thanks a lot!
I have a question. I want to print pa6 gf but it doesn’t have that option why is that ?
Thank you very much for helping new owners of FF Adventurer 5M
My pleasure!
@@FigureFeedback Sorry - do you know the start gcode of the models built into the printer? The support service hides it.

Well new comers super duper frustrating
Thank you for this information. Ive been having a hard time finding any help with this printer and orca slicer. This helped me so much. Thank you!
Thanks for this thorough and very good explanation. :)
Is there a way to get the "Artemis" Flash Forge to run "Orca"? I really want to use infills of Lightning, and Gryoid etc...?
Just ordered my printer should be here Saturday. I was going to download the slicer program but not sure which one one is zip the other is install?
Awesome video i'm learning so much using Orca vers 2 and printing wireless

I’m so lost I got this printer for my son. We set it up there are a few test items on the system
But how are you guys printing all of these cool items like toys?
Any tips on how to make my supports more easy to remove and also avoiding the supports from sticking and leaving scars on the models?
Thank you for the great break down!!
Is there a way to add the measuring icon to the top tool bar? I am trying to figure out how to measure in the updated slicer

I've had that issue before when I sent prints over WiFi. It never happens when I use a USB stick.
@@FigureFeedback Ok what firmware do you run?
I think it's 2.6.5.
If connected to peinter via Ethernet cable can you send the file directly to the printer via the Ethernet connection?

That's true for me as well. I like to manually level before every print. I wonder if there's a gcode command to force auto leveling every time.

Gyroid infill is good but get ready for your printer to vibrate off the table.
