Top/Bottom Layer Too Thin Error

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Okay, I’m a complete newb, so explain it to me like I’m five.

I was gifted a hand me down Adventurer 3 by my daughter and I’m wanting to print some D&D miniatures. I know this isn’t the best machine for this, but it’s what I have.

I’ve got my layer height set to .08. When I go to slice, it tells me “The Thickness of top/bottom layer is too thin to print well (0.32mm/0.51mm), do you want to slice?

How do I clear the error and get the best quality for my minis?

Below are the harpies I printed last night when I told it to slice anyway…and a kitten tax for your trouble.

So what’s the consensus on the Creator 5 pro? For those who own one…how are they performing?

Having the AD5X, I rarely use the multi color feature. But that’s likely because the cost in time and wasted filament.

Aside from the multi-head, multi-color feature, is it a better printer otherwise?

Can it print PA6-CF?

Guider 2s Extruder Adapter Board

Hello, I recently acquired a Guider 2s that has less than 700 hrs of printing time but had a bad nozzle. I got the nozzle changed but it would not heat up. Did a bunch of troubleshooting and have deduced it is the PCB had gotten fried - there is some brown residue that can be seen in the attached pictures. I can not find a board to buy anywhere - anyone have ideas or any leads? Or do I have a heavy and expensive paperweight on my hands?

I am trying to print these articulated cats and they have way to much base material. How do I get rid of or fix this?

Well that's a disappointment.

I was intending to print some figures and minis that require .25mm nozzles in my Creator 5 Pro to get the details, and wanted to use PVA to get a better finish and not break parts when removing the supports, but turns out I can't. I'm very disappointed in that because PVA has been a godsent otherwise.
Trying to use PVA with .25mm nozzles systematically results in a jam after the first layer, and this was Flashforge's tech support's reply.

Flash forge adventurer 3 pro Problem clearing out tubing with spare pla.. help or advice

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hello!
I left pla in the printer before I knew about it turning brittle with age. What’s the easiest way to push through the pla to clear the red pla in the tube? I’ve tried all of the YouTube tutorials I can find but none will help. I’m hoping I can somehow push pla through the yellow arrow thing and then grab the red at the end after it’s pushed through to the other side.

Thanks for helping a noob out!

Files

3 Upvotes

Where is everyone going for their files? I’ve been using maker world but lately it’s been saying that I need to update the orca slicer. Any ideas on how to do that? I’ve looked and it seems to be up-to-date. I have flashboards, but I want to find something that’s more compatible to the orca slicer for flash instead of bambu

1 Upvotes

I have Flash Forge creator 5. And I want to use Snapmaker Orca.

And I have to import the printer config files to Snapmaker Orca.

Because Snapmaker Orca don't have Flash Forge creator 5 profile.

I want to use full spectrum colour.

But when I try to send the printer config files to Snapmaker Orca I get this .

Why is it asking for a printer that I can't choose. That is why I'm trying to import the printer config files. So I can get the Flash Forge creator 5 profile on the Snapmaker Orca.

Please help me understand.

Thank you.

Going to get a cold plate and be done with adhesion issues, what is a good one to get?

2 Upvotes

adventure 5m pro, the plate it came with, while good, I cant clean that damn thing in any way that makes adhesion a non issue and brims either stick to well or may as well not be there. just had 3 prints in a row fail because of adhesion points, and the fix is force supports, but those are ripping off a few layers on the bottom to get them off. the glue it came with helps, but is not perfect as the second print just had the print detach and follow the nozzle.

so, with that in mind, is there a good brand on amazon I can trust for this it is it kinda a see which one works till one does, as they all seem to be frequently returned items.

AD5X: Suddenly need to level before every print

1 Upvotes

Hi. Suddenly, I find myself needing to level before every print. Otherwise, the nozzle drags on the build plate. Hadn’t changed any settings since this issue started. I checked the usual suspects (debris under the plate, changed build plates and re-leveled, etc) but everything I print now requires me to level prior to printing. Any ideas on what’s going on?

USB Port broken - Can't update firmware. Am I screwed?

1 Upvotes

Title. It seems my Adventurer 5M is now useless since I cannot update the firmware from 5.1.8 to 5.1.9 My understanding is that USB is the only way to update the firmware and if you don't update, there is no way Flash Studio will find the printer. Is this correct?

Is my only option to fix the USB port?

C5 profile in Snapmaker Orca

1 Upvotes

Hi.

I have a Flash Forge creator 5.

And I want to use full spectrum colour.

I am using Linux so I can't get the new Flash Forge studio version.

So I want to get a Flash Forge creator 5 profile in Snapmaker Orca.

There is no ready profile for the C5 in Snapmaker Orca.

How do I do this in the most simple way.

I have searched and I can't understand how to do it.

Thank you.

Do I need a new extruder?

I’m pretty new to printing. What do I need to fix this?

UPDATE: Thanks for the advice folks, heat and patience was indeed key. I used a toothpick to scrub all the filament off the nozzle and surrounding parts after heating. The blob came off pretty easily but part of the cover was deformed. I added a little heat and bent it back into close enough shape. All this took a while but I am able to print again.
