Thank you for session 3, you have been an inspiration, and hope you enjoy your time off!
Thanks so much!
I know that companies like to include their own slicer so they can "pre-configure" the printer to work out of the box, but they should not make it so difficult to use your own choice in slicers. Great video brother!
Thanks man, 100% agree, this isn't 2012 in a Makerbot world anymore. Time to start running the same direction the rest of us are.
Something else to consider: if you have pets and want to have your 3D printer in the house, a hard enclosure is VERY helpful. Now if I could only prevent them from jumping on top of the case to get warm while the unit is printing - that still causes the occasional print issue.
Ha, great point, thank you!
that was very detailed review chirs...loved all the aspects
When you are selling proprietary printer and keeping everything not open to public.... The customer would expect plug and play for 499$...... after having 2 ender3 and i decided to go for prusa and i am not using ender for atleast a year now.. both my enders are eating dirt.... reason is not i am a prusa fan ... i never really had to level my printer.. once load your file to printer there is nothing much that can go wrong with prusa... its really fast... can get awesome texture at the bottom... etc.. all these Chinese companies has a very complicated bed leveling..i would go for Prusa mini any time.... powerful slicers features coming in next update.. awesome bed leveling and great customer support.....
Thanks for watching, I totally agree with you. The easy of use on a Prusa just can't be beat.
The Flashforge firmware is based off of Sailfish, (and therefore Makerbot's original firmware) which had their origin at the center.
As for Cura, we also use it in the Polar Cloud to slice for all Flashforge machines.
Nice! Thanks Bill, I learn something everyday.
Great review! Love that you didn't give up on the printer. I really dig the style and features! I doubt the average Joe\Jane will take these steps and try to dial in this printer. Most likely they will either think this is the way prints are suppose to look, or return the printer.
Thanks, yeah, hopefully Flashprint profiles will continue to improve.
like always great job on the review lots of info just great all way round keep up the work hope all is well
Thanks Jerry, much appreciated
Nice ! Great way to start off the day ! Thanks sir
Most welcome!
Have a great summer break! You totally deserve it! congrats :D
Thank you so much!!
Nice video, was looking at the FlashForge Adventurer but I did not like the build volume, way to small.
Thanks! Fair enough.
enjoy your vacation :D thanks for your nice videos.
Thank you! 😃
Have a nice hollyday and keep healthy
Thank you, you keep healthy as well.
I was wondering about PETG on this printer. Using Cura on this is a great tip. I have the Lite version of this printer. The only difference is no built-in camera. This is a good starter printer but if your embracing the thinker mindset of 3D Printing this printer isn't for you. I graduated to an Ender 5 Pro. This is the Easy-Bake Oven of 3D printing.
lol, I like that, nice way of putting it.
Well done Chris.
Thanks Zimmy!!!
Happy Vacation !!!
Thanks Dan!
Chris Riley the FW is sailfish I believe. I have a PrusaSlicer profile that doesn’t require any modding of the .g or .gcode. It comes out as .gx or something like that.
Sweet! That's good to know!
Same here. My skin recently started bleeding literally over stressing over printers!
One problem at a time. Lots of breaks.
@@ChrisRiley yeah! I'm just taking a break like u. then I can take it slow. I've also ran out of money. which is a bummer since dual extrusion is rare and I wanted to make an easy dual extruder printer that doesn't cost much (most proper ones cost 3000$-2000$ thesedays)
I bought some Red Flashforge filament and it is the worst I have ever experienced, It was wound into what can only be called a rats nest and got snagged x2 on 16-hour prints, it is only any good for prints less than 1 hour because if it gets snagged I can just start another attempt
That's crazy!
My issue is the build never sticks, it slides around after 5 minutes of printing.
I never liked the way it leveled. It's easy to be to far away from the surface.
Why does it put out confetti and a red ball rather than pulling out the filament like it is supposed to and just print? It quit being strong pla filament coming out rather stringy and is extremely thin instead or just not coming out.
It's either a nozzle clog or something up with the extruder gear.
I'm have a lot of trouble with my Adventurer 3 Layer sifting. I tried everything but it is still doing. can you help?
I gave mine away a log time ago, sorry I'm not much help. It could be an issue with the board over heating.
Hey just got one and am having issue the nozzle tip is heating to 300 and will not go down even when just turning on printer I just ordered new tip but almost seems software issue ??!!?
I would contact the company, that's not right.
When printing the octopus how did you build successfully? I cannot get the base layer to stick on smaller parts on this machine. We’re you using the raft like they recommend?
Well I don't 100% remember. The leveling was a little hard to get right. I hear the newer version of firmware has multi point leveling. I didn't use a raft, but probably slowed the first layer down a bit.
Adveeeeenture time!
LOL
what is a good setting for raft is you can not remove them ?
What slicer are you using? I would reduce your extrusion multiplier.
Biggest issue I have with this printer having had one for about a year, you can not level the bed. It's fine until it needs it eventually. Then good luck.
Someone told me the new firmware had 9 point leveling now.
Ant chance you tried APX and/or ASA filaments on this printer??
Not sure on APX, you can probably do ASA if you keep the nozzle on the low end, under 250c.
Before I was considering buying this or anycubic 4max pro for my first 3d printer, but after seeing much reviews, finally decided to get myself a prusa mk3s. Price point is more expensive but I believe prusa will give more consistent results. But I just need to wait 4 weeks to get it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, if you have the money go Prusa, you will be happy.
I think Chris is my new best friend. :)
Great! I always need more friends!
Can I direct the nozzle pattern? It stops, making weak spots in the prototype, instead of running a continuous bead.
That sounds like maybe the extruder it skipping. It should always be consistent.
@@ChrisRiley It jumps from one section to another. Like doing glasses by starting in the middle. Middle first, then one loop, then the other loop.
Nice complete review.
Thanks!
Great, vid very informative. I just got this printer and looking for info, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice review! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Any updates on the 3dchameleon? I was having similar issues and figured it was gcode but could'nt fix it.
He's going to be doing a live stream on the software later this week.
Yep, more Chameleon stuff soon.
Is it worth getting the Flash Adventure Lite for like $100 less or is it better just getting the normal Flash Adventure? Also what’s the big differences between the two?
I had a look on their site. I don't think they offer the lite any longer. I am not sure what the difference was.
Well I could just buy the lite off of Amazon because it says In Stock on there
@@gabeandgame6080 Ah, I see, the only difference is the lite has no camera and you don't get filament, so no big deal.
ok thanks
How do U print from one computer, to two printers, so they both print at the same time?
I am not sure I have seen software that does that.
@@ChrisRiley it's ok I figured it out. Flashcloud
@@thedunkleyorrsfamily7461 NICE!
When all 3d printers are freed up, connect them all one at a time thru flashcloud. When U load a job to print off the first one, go back to "my model" click my printer, select second printer, select ur next project that's preloaded, and so on.
Great looking printer at a decent price - but proprietary slicer + small build volume + half sized spools + insufficient part cooling = a big no thanks from me.
I hear ya, it has a lot of downsides.
@@ChrisRiley It's so funny how these printer manufacturers almost never seem to learn from their mistakes. Either locked down features, or sub standard elements like small spools or crap cooling, or prices that are too high for what they're offering. it's the same thing over and over lol.
cool!
Thanks!
Do you do this is as a full time job? New here and really love your content subbed and liked! :)
Glad you like the content. No, I just do this in my spare time.
that print area is it like smaller then the ender 3's all versionsi mean by the look of it
Yes, a lot smaller.
@@ChrisRiley is it worth over the ender 3 the price then for what you get for me idk i am looking for printer i recently made comment on other but my dad wanna join along so budget can be risen :p( we looking for multicolor one with good quality etc.
@@JoeGameVideos Multi color can be hard to find, I like the SC-10 Shark dual setup, it works well.
@@ChrisRiley i'm gonna check it out right now thanks
I need a printer like this but with bigger build volume
I think FlashForge might be coming out with one like that soon.
Sir, I want to ask if Flashforge Adventurer 3 is used in the air conditioning room, is it safe? or affect quality?
I cannot say for sure, but PLA printing should be fairly safe.
Aldi sold it as a rebrand some days ago for 399€.
Nice, I knew there were a couple different rebrands.
Aldi sells it as comming from „BRESSER“
Hi Chris, this could do with a revisit because it now has 9 point mesh bed levelling after the last firmware update.
Nice! I will have to check that out, thanks Shaun!
This is so funny... I have a crappy Anet6 and i print exclusively PETG and it prints far better than PLA or other filaments on my setup.
Interesting, it could be your part cooling fan,
@@ChrisRiley Actuallly I rarely use the partcooling fan (for the most part I avoid overhangs in design phase) so I'm really not sure why PETG is the far better solution for me...
I loved season 3, I mean Jonas and Martha neither die nor live....oohh sorry, wrong serie
lol, nice!
Where's your 3D Printing Nerd shirt?
Lol, I wish I new. I sent him that shirt for free. 😀
Too bad you didn’t have a 3DPN shirt.
I know right?
The problem with this machine is the nozzle its only sold by the manufacturer. But looks ok. Your stuck witht the factory hot end. And the filament.
Thanks for your insight
@@ChrisRiley you already know more than me. But still I like your shows. I thought you were on vacation?
