Comment on Flashforge AD5X, how long do nozzles last? Premature wear
batmaniam@lemmy.world 17 hours agoI’m not sure if it’s the Z or gunk building up and dragging. Also with the new nozzle it’s been only PLA and no joy whatsoever.

Did you get the new nozzle in and issues have not changed?

correct. I initiated a return with amazon. I have had a 250g spool in the drier since about 10am today, and will try it this evening, but if that doesn’t work I’m just returning it.
In trying to do a cold pull (which you do in this machine by attaching the nozzle upside down and manually pushing filament in), it was oozing and popping with the remnants of the previous filament, which to me says very wet filament?
I had tried drying filament for ~8hrs yesterday with no good results. Is there something else that could cause the oozing issue? My friend brought up that maybe the temperature sensor isn’t working properly and it’s hotter than it thinks it is?
