Well I don't have the pro, but the 5m really is nice for a non tech person. I'm really enjoying mine, and getting ready to make an enclosure. Cross fingers, but right now I just print and it works. It is my 1st core xy, I have owned at least 12 fdm printers, and this thing is much faster.
I am considering purchasing a 5m pro but I am reading a lot of bad reviews specifically about the networking. Are you using ethernet or the wi-fi? I have read that sending files over Wi-Fi does not work and unfortunately where I'm placing the printer I will have to use Wi-Fi. Hopefully you read this I'm I'm looking for with experience with this machine
The machine can make its own wifi. You connect to the machine wifi and enter the ip into the klipper each time its opened. The files only worked a few times and now they fail uploading.
Rambled a bit and read on if you want, but yeah, mine struggles with sending larger files over the network. I've done 30 or so prints so far and I had to do 2 via USB drive instead of wifi. I've had mine for about a week now. Enjoy it a lot more than my Ender 3 so far. I've had a couple of hiccups with the networking. Was frustrating at first but I found I can just go to the device, toggle wifi off and on, and it works. My suspicion is that sometimes the 5m Pro's web server fails to start up and toggling the wifi off and on gets it started. Like, I would see that it was connected to the wifi, but nothing could connect to it. I would suggest that if you have a particularly large file to print (not in actual volume, but the file itself is large) that you plan to just put it on a USB drive. Most prints have been fine so far but there were a couple of very complicated ones that failed to upload to it. Honestly, the most frustrating ongoing issue (and it's not that bad) I'm having is that if you forget to hit "Ok" on the printer after a print is done then FlashPrint will see it as busy. Just one of those irritating things where you just grabbed a print off and sit down to start the next one only to realize you have to get right back up. Do note that on the Print Complete screen that you need to hit "Ok" and not "Continue". "Continue" starts another of the same print.
Hey I'm trying to find a website I believe you found to buy software like Window OS for a cheaper price. You have so many videos I don't know which one you talked about it. This is going to drive me nuts lol
But I like the booring long videos ;_; But do what makes you happy honestly. We just like you, and you're at your best when you do what makes you happy 👍
"I'm tired of long form videos"
That's because you have the attention span of a teenage squirrel.

What about dimensional accuracy and printing abs, asa, nylon?
