FAQ

1. Use a specific nozzle for each material, especially for Carbon Fiber and PETG, to avoid nozzle clogs caused by material mixing.

2. After printing with high-temp filament, switch to low-temp filament, please set a higher temperature to clean the nozzle residue.

3. After replacing the nozzle or moving the platform, please re-level the 3D printer.

When selecting a nozzle size for the FlashForge Adventurer 5M, consider the following factors to choose between 0.25mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, and 0.8mm nozzles:

1. Printing Detail and Precision

  • 0.25mm Nozzle: Ideal for highly detailed models or small prints. It provides fine resolution but prints slower.
  • 0.4mm Nozzle: The standard choice, balancing detail and speed. Suitable for most general-purpose printing tasks.

2. Printing Speed

  • 0.6mm and 0.8mm Nozzles: These are better for faster printing, especially for larger objects or functional parts where fine detail is less critical.

3. Material Type

  • 0.25mm Nozzle: Works well with standard materials like PLA but may clog more easily with abrasive or composite materials.
  • 0.6mm and 0.8mm Nozzles: Better suited for abrasive materials (e.g., carbon fiber-filled filaments) or thicker layers.

4. Layer Height and Strength

  • 0.25mm Nozzle: Best for thin layers and delicate prints.
  • 0.6mm and 0.8mm Nozzles: Allow for thicker layers, resulting in stronger prints but with less surface detail.

5. Project Requirements

  • Choose the 0.4mm nozzle for a good balance of speed, detail, and versatility.
  • Use the 0.25mm nozzle for intricate designs or miniatures.
  • Opt for the 0.6mm or 0.8mm nozzle for large, functional parts or faster prototyping.

Easy to mount

The camera itself makes it easy to see the print. The resolution is not as good as a Logitech camera of the same price. The frame rate leaves a lot to be desired, I’m unsure if this is a software issue though due to it being used for Time-lapses to save space. Another thing that could be improve on in software if it can be is the exposure. Unless you have a light directly above the printer, one in the printer, or a bright room light it can sometimes be hard to see. The camera is easy to mount and the instruction clear, unless your me and don’t look at the image properly.

My package did get delayed but I blame that on AusPost being AusPost. A quick email to flashforge telling them about the issue, and 2 days later it has arrived.

Is good to see the print but picture could be better

Is good to see the print but picture quality not it's best. And has a lot of lag. But still happy to upgrade a great printer. Well worth it

CAMERA INSTALL

Well the camera was very easy to install, but it has a lot of latency to the signal, mines runs via my gigibyte line, but unsure what the wired connection speed is, in theory, I should get real time speeds on the network. But it I handy for a quick check on my phone when out and about

Easy install, decent performance

The parts came in and installed very easily. Sometimes the app doesn’t activate the camera when pushing the play button but it does ultimately turn on. There is a decent bit of lag in the signal but it is effective enough to know if the print is going well or not.
