Hey there Ed, Great video brother and everything you said was really super close or spot on. I'd like to reference the "popping" sound.. That noise is the filament extruder drive slipping on the filament. The most common reason is actually in the gcode. If the .stl or gcode if you will, Tells the extruder to feed filament faster than it can run through the hotend, It can happen mid-print as well. In fact you'll notice it mid-print more often than at the very start. All it means is the gcode is telling it to feed filament faster than the hotend is putting it out. But at the end of the day it won't hurt anything at all, In fact you need steady feed pressure from the extruder to the hotend to maintain a steady flow from the hotend. Often if you adjust the hotend / Nozzle temp 5, 10, 15 or 20 more degrees C on the hotend will cure that. You're doing great with 3D Printing and I happy to see you having fun with it.

Good luck Ed. I have been 3D printing for a couple of years now and you are right, it is fascinating. Rapidly though, you will find out what a great device for making and designing part and devices you might need and can not find elsewhere. I have two now a 300mm bed and a 200 mm bed. Enjoy.

your review is better than most of the "pro 3d printer peoples" came up with! very good. and thank you!

[MrLittletaylora]

I just got a FlashForge Adventure 3 lite and this video helped a lot thank you

[wranglers]

You could wind from the 1 KG roll onto the "standard" roll too, I suppose.

I've bought a second hand printer like this one. Looks promising thanks for sharing.

Thanks Ed great review I've been looking into get one and you clear up a lot of my questions Thanks Again great channel

[Michaelsclub]

3 questions. First, can we use PETG if we want to or is there a type of a filament that we have to use it on this 3d printer like the red one we got for example. Second, if the bed is really dirty and really smooth, do I have to buy a new bed for the 3d printer so is that the main issue is resolved for example like the model floating in the air while printing. Lastly, if the filament stops inserting from the nozzle part, is it the 3d printer issue or the filament issue. If 3d printer, can you give me a tip to fix it. So basically, the filament does not come out from the nozzle part, it just stops from there. Thank you if you answer this

[Daniel-ycur]

I bought this and it's been great so far

[kananelorantso]

Awesome, is there something you had applied to prevent the filament from sticking on the print bed?

[robertpage]

Use stoner on ur base it's a silicone mold release we use it in our extrusion plant

[milgeekmedia]

Very good! I actually understood what you had to say (believe me there are a lot of videos out there that are just confusing)! I bought this printer yesterday and it should arrive today, so fingers crossed. Thanks. :)

[jaques-sergedelarue]

Good video! I have one of those and was able to print tpu without much issues, got some really nice parts out it. Just give it a shot!

[royrucker]

Great review.. Thank you for your time...

Hi Ed, Great video! I’m fairly new to 3D’s but have the same unit and have designed several models thus far. I’m slicing with a Flash Print. I’m having a problem printing the bottom wall layers of a large rectangular box. The layers sag and end up looking sloppy. Once the walls are about a 1/4” high, they print much better. Is this a slicer setting or bed temperature issue? Any help is appreciated!

[jesustirado]

Unfortunately I didnt had a good experience with my flashforge adventurer 3 pro 2 ever from out of the box and only was able like print 2 or 3 very nice prints then it started malfunctioning. The filament feeder almost never pulled the string and i changed it to a new one and still continued having the same problem. So sad because it was a gift from my girlfriend.

[JackJurgielewicz]

I just got my printer and it doesn’t have the box that comes stock to print how do I get that

[jadencamacho]

how do i connect my crome book to my printer through WiFi

[AtomicMining]

I hear this one isn't the best but it's a great starter to get into 3d printing

You should just start doing tech review videos Ed. I remember the original Mavic videos. Just Do it!
