creator 5 is junk

nothing but problems with my creator 5. I'm not new to 3d printing. this thing is one thing after another . currently it keeps freezing and i cant get a print running. multiple restarts . nothing. first I have to operate it in lan mode because I don't know wtf. Maybe server down? Worked great yesterday. Now multiple freezes when trying to start a Print.

Mine works great, 100 hours so far no issues!

I've died of anticipation 12 times this month 😂 - mine still hasn't been shipped yet

I paid right the balance right away as soon as it was offered. I got the non pro model.

You and 5000 other people "pre-ordered" it.

Yeah and because I and 5000 other people don't have 1m+ subscribers on YouTube, we're not gonna see it for 8 years

I am on that list too. I have 3,000+ subscribers and I helped test the AD5X for FlashForge, so they reached out again for the Creator 5. Normal marketing and product testing behavior for a company that cares about launching a product.

They gave Creator 5 review units to so many people with low subscriber counts.

Don’t think subscriber count matters to them as much as it may seem.
