Flashforge AD5X

Bought one off eBay 'cause of the sale price plus coupon (~$326 w/ S/H).

No problems unpacking/assembling — the commissioning process involved printing two models, but I misunderstood one dialog, so printed the first part twice, resulting in my running out of blue, so the Benchy (second model) has a black pin stripe:

Currently working out which filaments will go on what holder — obviously Elegoo PLA black got loaded (but I can’t find a pre-set for it on the AD5X?), two:

  • eSUN Bone White
  • Polymaker Metallic Chrome

(from Robert Cowan’s “Gridfinity Lessons Learned” video) are on cardboard spools, so I guess would be better on the lower two holders.

Debating on either white or transparent for the last…

However…

does not work well in an 0.25mm nozzle — will need to figure out a way to get that heated up and cleaned out (or order a replacement).

Any recommendations for filaments which work well in smaller nozzles?

Plain PLA would seem to be the order of the day…
