    To be fair, 3 of your issues were user error and not the printer. That filament requires a bigger nozzle. The bed adhesion is because the layers were way to close to bed which you can tell by the skirt.

    Great Video! I had almost exactly the same issue as you did. Good call on the gantry not being level, when a few of my prints came out lopsided I attributed to warping. I was on my second unit, the first arrived with broken hinges on the door. Thanks again for the video!

    Thank you so much for this video. After getting my Ad4 Lite I was having the same issue with really bad layer shifting on my y-axis. I was about to give up and return it then I came across your video and couldn’t believe how easy the fix was. Removing the bottom cover I saw the screw for the motor was completely off and just needed to be screwed back on. I’m still surprised that this was even an issue. Why isn’t Flashforge testing their machines after production. Thanks again Daniel!

    I think it is a 'hit or mis'. In our school we have three adventurer 4's. Two of the printers work perfectly every time, and one (the one in my room) has the exact same issues as yours. Really enjoying your videos and hopefully will give me the know-how to fix the one in my room.

    Just got an adventurer 4 two weeks ago and have been printing almost non stop since the unboxing (has not been turned off for that time) without any issues at all, not even minor gripes. It's a major step up from the Prusa clone, Tronxy and Anycubic Chiron that I also have, so much so I have just ordered the adventurer 4 pro as well. These comments are a year or so later than your video so maybe the firmware and other items have been updated with fixes since then or maybe I'm just easy to please or lucky.

    With my AD4 I also had problems with the default printbed but with a glass bed it works very well. If the PLA cools down it comes directly off and you can clean the printbed easily with 50% water / 50% Isopropanol. By the way this also works for sticky prints. Spray this around the print and wait a while then you can hear how it comes off the printbed. In combination with a glue stick this works very well. My Z-axis was also not even, I got short instructions from support how to fix this. At the end I had to loosen some screws on one side a little bit, then everything worked fine. Cool, that someone now makes videos for the AD4, was searching for this when the printer was released… Thanks!

    Hi Daniel,
    Just watched your video, I purchased an Adventurer4 about a week ago. I can tell you that there is a 0.4mm height difference from the front left corner of the bed to the rear right corner. The runout on the aluminium bed appears to be 0.1mm so there's some issues with squareness on a brand new machine. I don't think you got the bad printer, I think they are all like this to some extent. I'm going to try some adjustments over the next week, starting with a dial indicator test of bed runout, then the dial indicator on the print head assembly to find which axis require adjusting.
    Thanks for the video.

    I treated myself for Christmas by purchasing an Adventurer 4. As a novice 3D printer, I treat every misprint as a learning experience. Can't say that I encountered any problems with the printer itself other than the exceptionally sticky bed. I thought this is just a normal thing with all printers. I'm loving the print experience.

    • @justmakeitdaniel7667
      @justmakeitdaniel7667  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you adjust your levelling to be slightly further away from the bed, that could reduce the amount of adhesion. Try using the advanced calibration mode and increase the z-height by 0.02mm. Print to test and if its still too sticky, rinse and repeat!

    Great videos! My adventurer 4 has been running for about two weeks/100hours of print time now and just got an odd issue, i think the printer head started "sagging" so the nozzle is hitting/dragging in the print. Thougt it was just a level issue but it drags no matter if the bed is leveled so the print comes out all stringy/not sticking. This also brings a overextruded looking print, could there be a problem with the screws inside the machine going loose, what do you reckon ?

    • @justmakeitdaniel7667
      @justmakeitdaniel7667  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m pretty sure I might have a similar issue because I noticed that the gantry is lower in the middle of my bed vs the sides. This was done while just jogging the printer left and right. I haven’t seen it as bad as what you described though where my prints are having over extrusion.
      One thing you can try is tightening the bolts which hold the two rails which might help with keeping the x axis stiff

      What temperature were you printing each filament at? Sounds like you have a layer height adhesion issue which typically means your temperature needs to increase. The other issue could be that you’re not extruding enough material which means you should check out the extrusion multiplier or path/line width

    I have many disapointments with this printer and not sure is it bug or may be 'undocumented feature'. First, heating of extruder and plate are going very slow. Before it starts printing it first heating up plate very slowly - approx one degree per 6 seconds. Then it starts heating the nozzle, it looks like it can't heat both devices simultaneously. The same can be observed when I am trying to heat it up via Preheat menu. If to heat it up separate it's going faster. Especially extruder, but when together it goes pretty slow, and one by one. Second, it quite offten hapens when I am loading the file through WiFi it can't open it. It happens once per 3 files. The distance to the printer does not matter. I have to upload some unlucky file several times. Third, the sensor screen is crazy, it is very hard to make exactly one touch when calibrating the extruder. Quite often it happens two or three touches, it makes a calibration a nightmare. Fourth, sometimes it jumps in the middle of calibration process to the main menu by itself and you need to start calibrations from begining. Fifth, sometimes I can see that blue led is blinking inside the printer somewhere in the area of it's main board. Is it Ok? I am not sure is my machine Ok. From other hand it can print and actually doing this Ok, in general. But looks like capricios machine. Do other people have the same problem with it?

    I'm a FF ADV4 owner too and I'd like to mention the following:

    Also I experienced the bed leveling problem. I sent the printer back to my reseller where they repaired it under warranty. Just like yours, the Z-axis wasn't level but that's resolved now.
    I know more people with this issue so I do think it comes in handy to make a video about it for the people who are not able to get it repaired.

The unclogging tool won’t fit from the 0.4mm nozzle side which is why I used a strand from a 10 gauge wire. I think it was just that filament that gave me a problem. I just printed a 24h job with black yesterday and no clogs at all.

      The other option is that while your part is printing, go into the menu and lower the z-offset until your print sticks. To access the menu, click on the triple dots, then select the menu icon, and there you should see the z-offset. The best way to adjust this is to add a brim around your part and while the brim is printing, adjust the z offset lower until it sticks. If the filament goes everywhere, stop your print and restart it. The z-offset value in that menu seems to save from print to print.
      Once the print is done, you can go back into the advanced bed levelling option and change the number by the amount you entered into the z-offset. Just remember to change the z-offset value next time you print back to zero if you do this

      @@justmakeitdaniel7667 Yes, I tried setting up Cura and SuperSlicer. There's some Start and End gcode you have to add to make it work. Just copy that from a FP code file. Other settings I just migrated from FP. The problem I had with both of them was: they have no option of generating a pre extrusion like FP does. I don't use a Raft so I need that pre extrusion to prime the nozzle. But to answer your other question, yes, the gcode they generate you can drag and drop into FP and send it Wifi to the printer... but FP can't edit it... its not a model, but it can preview the slices. I've actually found FP to work pretty well, and its options for controlling the Print Temp and Cooling Fan (per layer) very very helpful for printing PETG.

      @@dondec I just started printing with PETG and its been a bit of a pain so far. I had 240C with 25% fans working decently well using the 240C nozzle. Now switching to the 265C nozzle, the results are not as good... waiting to see what happens with the rest of the temperature tower going all the way up to 255C.

      @@glenngillan739 I’ve been using an box cutting knife to score at the edge of the part for PLA and PETG. It might my be scary the first time but I found the buildtak is quite resistant to it. Mind you, my knife is a cheap one so the blade isn’t super sharp. What you can do if you don’t feel comfortable with that is to put a layer of glue stick and that helps, especially for PETG

    Sorry that you've had so many problems. I am new to 3D printing and the Adv 4 is may first. I've had it for little over a month, Santa Claus. I've gone through over three 1kg spools. Had a few printing mishaps, but nothing like yours. My nozzle airduct cover broke and fell off as soon as I fired up the printer the first time (weak design). All 3 clips on the cover broke off. In Flashpoint under File in Examples, there is AD4_Airduct_Cover.stl file. I loaded it in the slicer and printed it out, but the part is so small I can not get it stay snapped in place. The printed cover keeps falling off. I took the file and modified the cover with my own designed snap and that works fine. The printing bed worked fine at first (after about one 1kg spool of pla) until I made one print that stuck so tight to the bed's surface that it damaged the surface beyond repair. I replace the bed surface with Gizmo Dorks PEI Sheet and that material works well. I knew that I would have to go through a learning curve since 3D printing is new to me, but I think that the Adv 4 was a good printer for me since it is pretty much turn-key and user friendly. I think your Adv 4 was a quality control issue. It must have been assembled on a Monday after a 3-day weekend, lol.

      @@paulviana838 what is your nozzle temperature and retraction speed? I’d try PLA with a nozzle temp of 210, retraction speed of 25mm/s or higher and a priming speed of 20mm/s.
      When you start hearing the knocking, put your finger on the filament to get an idea if the knocking happens during a retraction or when it primes (pushes forwards after the retraction). I got lots of knocking during the priming.
      If it’s not during the retraction but rather while printing, then you need to raise the temp or slow down your speed

    For whoever has this option, buy it on Amazon as an Amazon Prime item! If I saw 1/3 of the issues complained about in this video, I would immediately exchange it for another one. I also have no problem exchanging it two or three times until I get it all right. If I'm going to spend $900 on a 3D printer and then spend $150 a year for my prime account, which is there specifically for returns and exchanges when needed.

THERE SHOULDNT BE ANY FIXING CROOKED OR BROKEN or things that aren't right and I've had all his issues AND SOME and as I said I have many printers ones that by all sense should he way harder to use that print way easier and better, all I heard was good about flashforge maybe I just got a lemon too but cmon what are the chances his doesn't print hot enough either and layer lines coming undone and skipping motors CMON NOW!!!
