Flashforge

Since 6 months ago when we received a brand new FlashForge Creator 3 we have mostly not been able to use the printer as it has too many faults and design issues. The list of issues is as follows:

1. Mainboard broken resulting in left extruder not working
2. Heated bed not properly fixed and moves around in both X-Axis and Y-Axis directions too easy
3. It is not possible to adjust filament feed rate
4. Touchscreeen not responsive and very sluggish

After changing the mainboard the list of problems and questions grew

5. Z-Axis moving randomly after calibration
6. Heated bed damaged from Z-Axis off-limits motions
7. FlashForge claims I shall only use original FlashForge filament
8. Does the printer actually support PVA, Nylon and other filaments?
9, When doing firmware upgrades, the system hangs and must be power cycled

The printer has a direct filament feeder (not geared).

To fix the issues they are offering me an RMA and a new unit. The service to solve the problem has been friendly and positive, while still unable to provide a working unit after months.

Stay away…
