Did you need to hook the alternator to the distributor to get the distributor to spark

Do have problems with the watch face changing on its own? Mines does it so annoying.

The internal chamber temp is the single most important factor for avoiding warping. Enclosing is good, but a good complete seal of the chamber is better, and either letting the chamber pre heat using the bed or using an active heater is best. A chamber temp of over 50C is what you want for relieable ABS / ASA and 60C+ for polycarbonate. With good chamber temp you don't need glues or anything special, just a PEI surface that is cleaned with alcohol between each print.

Hahaha I have the same compressor. I think I'm replacing the reed valves for the 3rd or 4th time now after many years of abuse. The firs two times I made replacements out of old feeler gauges. Might have to try my hand at some kind of muffler because dang is this thing ever loud.

This was a pretty entertaining video and educational too. I'm probably going to pick up one of these printers today. I was also considering the Creality K1 Speedy but the Flashforge is $182 cheaper right now at my local store and they seem very similar.

Just got my 5M last weekend and I'm having trouble with the wifi not connecting after turning the printer on. It will not even show any networks to connect to. I then have to power it off and back on again then it will show the wifi icon in upper right corner of the screen and all is well... until tomorrow. Other than that I love this printer.

Check out getting a carbon fiber sheet for printing nylon, scuff it up, use some aleene fabric glue and some vinegar on the carbon fiber sheet. Best surface I ever found for printing nylon.

ive been using this for parts and stuff for my builds and 3d printed planes compared to my ender 3 neo max its night and day in quality with sunlu pla+ which i never had a issue with printing and tends to be stronger and lighter then regular pla

ASA should not warp any more than ABS does. I guess it might be the specific brand you use. I've been printing for 10 years now and only in ABS, and the last years ASA is slowly replacing ABS as my go to filament. It has all the good stuff of ABS as well as UV resistance, so good for outdoor stuff.

Have you added any filters for printing these types of filaments?

With PC you should heat the chamber, put the thermometer in there and try and get get to at least 60, 55 will work most of the time

For printing POM, you will need a heated chamber of between 70°C and 80° and pre heated for 10 mins or so and a bed temp of at least 120°C and print it extremely slow, around 20mm/s

Mmmmm, mozzarella

I like to install AC kit in my 1973 CJ5 Jeep 258 motor my jeep never had AC I know the pump would mount on the driver side of the engine. I wish someone out there can share some information on a install. The only video I find out there is yours.

I ordered the enclosure kit the day my printer arrived, and the kit parts were my first prints. I think printer mods are a fun way to learn a new printer. My front panel strip started falling off since it was just a press fit so I glued a couple of magnets to it and now it is fine. The best thing I found with the enclosure is just noise reduction. Fast printers are loud.

Just bought mine today !

Dude, there is a pocket in the black cover, the instructions and the spikes are there. You didn't need the instruction anyway, Great job. I just got one for the beach.

Great video. Explains a lot. I took this to work. I let the professional welder use it. it kept throwing breakers. He threw it away. Good thing I got it back because I had the settings all wrong.

Fun video! I was planning on getting these bulbs and came across this video with the same BULBS and same car model. Thanks for the installation process! - Cadillac Deville DHS 2003

Just what I needed, bought one last night and it was great to watch your video, thanks going to save me some grief A saying from a fortune cookie: " The expedient thing and the right thing may not be the same thing"

Nice work. The enclosure doesn't look too bad.

Esto no tiene que ver con el jumper. A este jeep le esta sucediendo otro problema de inyeccion, de electricidad o que se yo pero del jumper no, el jumper eata trabajando perfectamente bien.

The one thing I don't get is people who buy a 3D printer who don't wanna print stuff for their printer and customize it, it's just weird, what r you buying a printer for in the first place, to print plastic of course why not customize the machine that's doing it, to look the way you want it to, you gotta have a little bit of DIY in you to buy a 3D printer to begin with unless you're buying it to print toys and trinkets and stupid ish like that....................

They got my ass covered lmaoooo!

great video!

Thanks Chuck! Great video that I learned from. My auto climate control will work for 2-3min then no display or operation after it fades out. I may reflow some solder joints and see what happens. To be a 95, it has major electric controls!!....smh. thanks again

Just plain old fashioned honesty...no BS just tells it like it is. Thanks Pops. Subscribed!

Amazon carries the enclosure kit now. I bought mine from aliexpress but would have preferred amazon.

working fine isnt good enough that printer could be amazing if u install the klipper mod

the correct version is Orca slicer 2.0.0-rc

My test cube didn’t print either 😂

I mean by the looks of the way 3d printers are going, looks like the market is down. No one seems interested anymore, and they are either too expensive or very cheap because no one wants them. This machine needs to be 100 dollar cheaper, then I could see myself buying one. A lot of 3d printers are so cheap right now, they are all going down in price all the time.

You will have your enclosure made before mine arrives, do you think it will be capable of printing nylon?

I haven't had to use any glue or Hairspray on my printers since I started and I started with a cheap Kobra neo I have the AD5M an A1 and mini and Q1 pro never had problem with sticking with any type of filament, you may need to update your firmware if you didn't already

Me fue de mucha ayuda el video. Gracias desde Argentina.

You have to train her that the zap means no and yes they have more layers of skin than us which is why they can endure more pain than a human

I am still waiting for mine to be delivered, can't wait to try it.

I just got mine about 4 days ago and I'm having a lot of failed prints it's just the language I don't understand but I hope to learn just like you man ! Keep up the good work😊

Those tolerances are spot on! If you have the step files maybe creating your own STL and slicing that might be the way to go. Or check out the STL in Orca by using the fix command, I have had some bad mesh data in STL files before and the fix repaired it.

A5m pro is a waste of $$$$$ and u made a great choice fantastic printer for the $$$$

I like to put my filament on a spool

LET THE MACHINE RUN ITS CYCLES

Make sure you check off the level bed box every time before you start your print YOU WILL HAVE 100% SUCCESFULL PRINTS. you will see the little box where the start print screen is. prints take a little while to start be patient and it will start. the printer has its cycles it goes thru. other brand printers like bamboo take even longer

Search up Orca-Orca-Flashforge, Its a fork of Orca by Flashforge, it works seamlessly with the 5M on stock firmware,

I get 1 or 2 printers every year, and I purchased the flash forge 5m. My last two. The kobra neo and neo 2. While decent printers. But I would easily replace both of those with another 5m. If I had not already purchased them this last Christmas. The flash forge 5m is so much faster. Even after install klipper on my Neo's. The quality of the prince are great. And it looked like a finished product. Have you tried Rapid PLA? It is my new favorite for high speed printers. I did do one thing and buy a stylus at the dollar store for the screen. That helps a lot.

That little Flashforge printer seems to be a very nice unit, especially for the price. If I hadn't bought an QIDI X-Plus3 last summer to augment/replace my older Geeetech A20M, I would definitely be looking at that unit. The Qidi has a slightly bigger build volume, but not much, and I don't print large objects (or at least not often). It looks like your printer is running on Klipper, like mine, and I also added a camera...plug and play, just like yours did. Looking forward to your modification journey...

Thank you very much this video was very helpful for my 3D printer

I read somewhere that the PLA+ filament has a bit of TPU added to it, this apparently makes it more fluid. Before I got my X1 Carbon I had tried Orca slicer but I had got so used to Cura it was hard for me to use anything else, I was forced to use Bambu Studio and Orca Slicer and now I love using Orca Slicer. You should check to see if your camera works with Orca, you will need to press the little play button under the video screen on the Device page of Orca Slicer and switch the setting to HD if your camera supports 1080P, the default is 720P. Orca handles the video in real time with no latency! You know chuck it still amazes me how fast these new printers can print and yet the quality is just awesome, I guess it's because of the PAP turbo cooling fans and well part coolindesigbedg fan ducts. You should slice some of those parts for your old printers and see what the time difference is, Im guessing that first part would take around 2.5 days

I needed to get a printer that was much faster than my existing cartesian printers and that could print high-temp materials, I was sick of Creality machines having issues that they never fixed and so I decided to go high end and I bought a Bamu Lab X1 Carbon Combo.I was impressed that they do regular updates to the FW and SW, and the reviews were very good also. The printer is awesome, it just works and the quality of the prints are perfect! That spool holder on yours looks very small! and it sounds like those leadscrews need lubricating. I sprayed a concrete paver with Plasticoat and placed that between the printer and the desk, it helps massively!

Will it function with a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery?
