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.
Yea, that strip is badly designed. Considering that some of the part design is quite ingenious, I have to think that either someone else designed that strip, or the designer just lost interest at that point.
Nice work. The enclosure doesn't look too bad.
Thanks!
Thank you Chuck. I was debating getting the 5M Pro pretty much for the enclosure, but the price tag was causing me to hesitate. I think the 5M with the $40 enclosure will be a better for me. I appreciate it!
And printing and installing the enclosure was mostly fun and you learn a bit about the printer in the process. If you're interested in putting a light and camera in it I posted a video on that too. I'm loving the light and camera.
@@3rdpig awesome. I will definitely look at that!
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.
For $300 it's hard to go wrong unless you want one that's already enclosed and with a filtration system. But but A5M Pro is $500, and at that price point, I'd start looking at the Qidi Tech Q1 Pro. It's on sale now for $450 and not only is it enclosed, it's also heated and has a 350c hot end.
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
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.
I noticed two things on mine. First, the wifi module on the mainboard is very slow to initialize, sometimes it takes 2 minutes before it's showing access points. Second, it fails to reconnect after being powered off and on. On mine setting a static IP cured the issues. Well, it probably still takes 2 minutes to initialize, but since it reconnects automatically with the static IP I never notice it.
@@3rdpig Thanks for the reply. I will try that and see what happens when it gets turned back on tomorrow morning. Thanks again.
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....................
I'm a bit of a mad scientist and I've modified just about everything I've ever owned, but for some people I suppose their printer is like their toaster, they don't want to modify it, they just want their toast. For example, if I bought a printer to make prototypes for my business, I wouldn't want to spend time modifying the printer, because that's not advancing my business, I just want to get on with making prototypes.
@@3rdpig yeah but if you're just making prototypes the regular version of the printer with PLA is fine but even the pro version doesn't have a heated chamber so I think ABS and ASA would be a challenge especially larger parts, but who knows
I mainly use my 3d printer for functional parts, so doing cad design for parts takes most of the time. Doing mods to the printer isn't a big deal for me. All the bambulab lovers swear by not doing any mods to the printer. But 3d printer prices have become so cheap that even an enclosed 3d printer isn't much more.
@@oneanother1 yeah but if I'm going to buy an enclosed printer it better have a heated chamber cuz even though sometimes it's not needed it sure does help, and the Q1 Pro for the price you can't beat it
