Comment on Flashforge AD5X, how long do nozzles last? Premature wear

I highly doubt your nozzle is worn out unless you’ve been printing with any special tough filament (e.g. carbon fibre core). It’s completely different machine, but I have over 300 hours on mine and I haven’t had to replace the original brass nozzle yet.

No special filament, other than <10g TPU. Interesting I’ll try the test. I think I’ll get the dragging though, as I was trying to do some business card type prints that were basically what you’re suggesting and got issues. Sometimes the first layer would be ok, sometimes not. It would wind up dragging it around and as it was warm, it would roll the layer into a “snake”
