I bought the Flashforge AD5X 3d printer for my daughter as she loves craft things but really struggling with it!
Set up was easy, bought and installed filament and the coin that it prints at the start printed no bother, I also reprinted it without bother last night after the issues i’ve had.
Issues I have had is trying to print anything in 3D seems to come out like spaghetti and doesn’t stick to the tray. I’ve tried changing the temp to 210 and the bed temp to 60 and this hasn’t helped.
Got the templates from printables and think i’m slicing it correctly and printing but everytime I try I get the same spaghetti.
I’m not a 3d printing expert by any means, but I had a similar problem with my Ender Pro years ago and was told to use Elmer’s glue stick on the bed… I use the purple stuff. I level the bed first with paper. I have one of those magnetic bed sheets like a fridge magnet. I guess where the print will end up and wipe on the glue. Works great and washes off for the next time.
I don’t have this printer, so this is fairly generic advice.
I didn’t know whether this printer has the nozzle hot or cold while probing, but because it uses a load cell to measure when the tip touches the bed, if there is cold plastic on the tip of the nozzle, it will be too high and you’ll definitely get spaghetti.
I’d heat the nozzle up, unload filament, carefully use something like a folded wad of paper towel to clean plastic residue off the nozzle, and then do the bed leveling again. Be very very careful not to touch the nozzle while cleaning it. It’s hot enough to burn you instantly. I use 8 layers of paper towel (three folds) or more to keep the heat away from my fingers when I use a paper towel to clean the nozzle surface.
