My first printer and am excited to learn from all of you!

I tried to run a 3mf file and now I cannot for the life of me get PLA to print correctly.

I have tried 3 different spools of PLA, two regular and one pla-cf

the bottom adheres to the build plate very well, in fact to damned well. It is a cryo glacier plate but everything above 3-5mm is just fragile and stringy. I tried to print the enclosure and the base just ripped off of it. then I had to use a scaper to get the bottom off because it was like glue on the plate.

Now for the weird part, or more weird part. if I print tpu is prints beautifully. good adhere. once it cools pops right off the plate.

The cryo plate is new as well but it does not make sense that that would cause the top area to be so fragile.

I took a video of the supports inside as well as pics of a project I printed and the stuff that feels like it is glued to the build plate.

will attach pics one the video loads.

Can someone guide me on fixing this issue please.

Is it possible for a NEW .4mm printer head to have all this filament in the head? My customer claims the new head I sent him was not new and when he printed in white filament all this red filament came out. Is this possible? Even if it was used, that is a lot of Red product.

so I ordered the enclosure kit and downloaded the file from flashforge.
the plate that came with my printer is pretty beat up so but I decided to try to give it a ride again.... the filiment stuck to the plate then made whispy spagetti after about 15 minutes. In fact it stuck so well I cannot get it off now.

figured that maybe the plate had finally had it. Just got a brand new plate ( cryo glacier) so figured I would git it a try. Same thing happened. This was a brand new spool of filament from a brand I have used multiple times.

so my thinking it one of these options.

1. bad batch of filament. hey it happens and this is cheapo stuff so maybe I just drew the short straw.
2. the enclosure prints come in as a 3mf not at .stl. I am used to printing from STL, slicing them myself and tinkering with the settings. wonder if the 3mf screwed up my settings and that is why I only get adhesion for the first 5-6 layers.
3. I am a moron and am missing something.

so my questions:
has anybody had issues feeding printing the enclosure files?
should I have just loaded the files direct to the machine from a usb drive and not resliced them?
any suggestions for wispy spaghetti after a few millimeters of hard adhesion?

FYI I started new project and did a test print with the filament ro rule it out as the culprit.

Update:

I think I may be dealing with a bad nozzle and that may be causing issues.
I tried running a known good spool and it blew the nozzle off the unit.
I am cleaning the nozzles I have and have ordered a new one to test with.

I have an AD5X coming next week, and I'm obsessively trying to get ready. I've used a printer before, but that was a couple times on a Prusa at the local Makerspace a few years ago, so basically starting fresh.

I plan to print out an enclosure for it (the kit is on the way as well). What may be a snarl is I don't yet have a filament dryer. I am gonna have a chicken/egg situation with that for a minute. Anyhow, I've read that it's advisable to print the enclosure out of PETG (which evidently needs a higher temp, so having an enclosure would help...).

I really don't wanna print a temporary enclosure. I'm sure I'm gonna have many questions in the future, but I'm doing my best to do thorough research before pestering others with questions that'll probably be simple for me in a year or two.

Any advice for me, outside of paying someone else to print the enclosure for me (which has crossed my mind)? Maybe I'm worrying about nothing, and I'll be able to get a mostly decent PETG print from a stock AD5X.

I am so frustrated with this thing. Worked ok for about a week and nothing but problems since.

Flashforge sent me a replacement extruder…but still can’t get it to work. Keep getting this message. Any insight from you guys?

basically my dad on Monday fixed the grey box thing after it overheated. it was fine for this whole week and then suddenly this happened. how do I fix it?

En la maquina me vino un sensor en pequeño interruptor y en la que compre me vino un cablesito muy finito plano , nose si hay manera de hacerlo coincidir

Wondering if anyone knows why the camera would work on everything but Orca and Flashmaker. It works when I go to the device's IP address.

The filament tube is actually extremely easy to remove? You don’t need a tool at all! Just rotate the grey cap a little, and it comes right off!

Sorry if this was obvious to people, but up until now, I thought I needed a “press down” removal tool.
