Got my printer yesterday. Thanks for the great videos. I’m super new to 3D printing- your videos are super easy to understand and follow😀

[@michelleochart6617]

Thank you for this information. Ive been having a hard time finding any help with this printer and orca slicer. This helped me so much. Thank you!

[@psychogaming9663]

Honestly, couldn't have asked for a better video to find, Amazing vid & very useful Thank you for the help!

[@Randel1979]

Thank you so much for this detailed guide. I have just setup my 5m Pro and I would not have had the same 1st time user experience without this. Thank you again.

[@annaerysthepaladin3983]

I love your videos, you explain things so straightforward and concise, and you have a great teaching voice! Thank you!

[@Revsut]

Your videos are what convinced me to get a FlashForge AD5M and use Orcaslicer. Great tutorial and videos on the machine. Couldn't figure out how to change temp settings in Orca until I seen this video. And the Adventurer 5M is a great machine. Amazing prints right out of the box.

[@soloshakey]

Saving me a lot of research time! Thank you again!

Just subscribed. Excellent video. I was having some trouble navigating Orca Slicer but found this video and cleared up my issues.

[@user-gd4bw8xc9l]

Thanks, Great video! I just got a 5M and printed the case with OrcaSlicer but now I know so much more about what it can do.

[@ryanschiavo5621]

Awesome just ordered a ad5m thank you for your videos I'm jacked to get it here and use it

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Another awesome guide! Got OrcaSlicer going with my new 5M and being able to send print jobs from my Mac over wifi is great! This whole series on the 5M has been a gold nugget of info - thanks for making these videos.

This ❤️

[@ryanwilliams7664]

I just ordered my AD5M as a first 3d printer. I'm going to start with Orca and ignore flashprint. Your video is going to be essential. You earned a sub. Very well done presentation.

Outstanding video, You are an exceptional instructor. Thanks.

Awesome video i'm learning so much using Orca vers 2 and printing wireless

[@ChooChoo_4u]

Great Tutorial! I have been using Flashprint 5 up till now and although I like it, it is limited. I downloaded Orca and took one look and was intimidated. Your video has made Orca as easy as FP5. Thank you. You have earned a subscriber!

You're amazing. thanks for making these videos! I appreciate you bro.

[@CybaGirl]

Thank you so very much! I have been pulling my hair out in regards to trying to send the file to my Flashforge Adventurer 3 Lite only to now realise that I cannot do this. I guess we have to wait until this feature is available. Thank you .

[@jonilmasepulveda]

5M only have standard file profile. No extra files like fine or fast.

[@xaviervonerck7430]

Great video, per usual. Your stuff with the A5M is always very helpful. One thing that people seem to take for granted is people understanding why Orcaslicer is better than Flashprint. I've been using Flashprint since I bought the A5M, and it's pretty much done the job I need/want it to do. What does Orcaslicer have that Flashprint doesn't, what makes it better, etc. It'd be great to see a breakdown of what Orcaslicer can do that Flashprint cannot do. If you know of anyone that has done a comparison video between them feature-wise?

[@ohfr20]

Bro nobody cares how good flashprint is if it literally can’t even detect the printer like🤦

[@ohfr20]

Well new comers super duper frustrating

[@patrickegan4509]

Hi do you know where to set the bed temp my flashforh is pre set to 50 when I need it to be at 65 for good adhesion and I could do it on the printer itself however it sometimes will automatically go back to 50 ??

[@pacificcoastminiatures]

Thanks!

[@FigureFeedback]

Thank you very much!

[@elliefarmer1207]

Is there a way to add the measuring icon to the top tool bar? I am trying to figure out how to measure in the updated slicer

[@evil12383]

Any tips on how to make my supports more easy to remove and also avoiding the supports from sticking and leaving scars on the models?

[@FuhrChris]

Is there a way to get the "Artemis" Flash Forge to run "Orca"? I really want to use infills of Lightning, and Gryoid etc...?

[@sbar091]

Can you please do an intermediate or advanced guide? I'd really like to play with the speed settings because I haven't managed to print anything of quality at the higher speeds. Also, a user profile settings file would be neat cause I haven't been able to find any online.

[@ClashPLays350]

im having trouble setting my 5m pro to my windows i have orca -flash forge can someone help me

Wow, thanks a lot!

[@ohfr20]

I have a question. I want to print pa6 gf but it doesn’t have that option why is that ?

[@JSunBurns]

The 2.0 RC version supports wireless printing to these printers.

[@thigrandmasta9252]

Lovely video ,new to printing, just got the printer thanks to your guides...., you mention that lowering layer height will lower the speeds, i mainly wanna print minis and figures, but they always kinda fail. Don't i need to change speed printings accelerations and stuff to achiece something better or just the layer height willl do th e best speeds for me?

[@FigureFeedback]

Lowering your layer height and decreasing the speed will help with accuracy and the preservation of smaller details. Since you want to do minis, I would also suggest getting the 0.25mm nozzle which will allow you to print at even lower layer heights than the standard 0.4mm nozzle.

[@gabyortiz2445]

Great video! One question, I’ve been trying to use Orca Slicer for my AM5 but the printing times are a lot longer when compared to the Flashprint print times. I’ve tried to match the settings as much as possible but still get way higher print times. Is there a way around this? I really like the additional features Orca uses.

[@FigureFeedback]

That's very odd. If the settings are the same, the print times shouldn't be that different. I would double check to see if you're using the built-in 5M profile in Orcaslicer as well as the same nozzle sizes, filament types and layer heights for both slicers.

[@namelessghoul9704]

Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue

[@jenniferwashington7582]

I’m so lost I got this printer for my son. We set it up there are a few test items on the system But how are you guys printing all of these cool items like toys?

[@josephfortin784]

One thing I found with wireless printing it doesn’t have the level check box on the printer like using a usb stick. So far checking that box has made a difference w the few prints I’ve done so far.

[@FigureFeedback]

That's true for me as well. I like to manually level before every print. I wonder if there's a gcode command to force auto leveling every time.

[@ReeceMacDonaldDaBaller]

Have you gotten the remote printer control to work through Orca? I'm able to send files and print using the IP address but the device window says that the IP refused to connect. I'd like to be able to monitor prints with an camera through the slicer.

[@FigureFeedback]

I haven't been able to remotely control the printer in Orca beyond sending prints. But you can connect a webcam to the printer via USB and monitor it through a web browser. Type the following link into your browser, and insert your printer's IP address where I've indicated and it should work. your printer's IP:8080/?action=stream

[@RobertRiggin]

@@ReeceMacDonaldDaBallerI believe it's in the 2.0 release but under the Host Type drop down menu there should be an option of Flashforge. Select it and then enter the ip address of the printer.

It is not letting me connect through wifi, I have the 2.0 RC downloaded aswell, any help?

[@user-vw7jf1be3v]

contect in flashprint first

[@AJSax0n]

Gyroid infill is good but get ready for your printer to vibrate off the table.

[@ResurrectedBrush]

Lots of useful information in the video. However, I absolutely cannot stand when people say "I will put a link in the description" and then I go to the description and... NO LINK. Did you forget about the nozzle storage box?

Guilty as charged. Here's the link, you'll have to scroll down the page to find the storage box. wiki.flashforge.com/en/knowledge_corner/printer-mod-and-diy
