Then there is adobe updates, and every other software on your computer that might just decide to reboot your computer in the middle of a print. Yes in theory you can turn off screen savers, lower power savers, and windows updates but they always find a way to screw you over and reboot when you step away from the machine.

Also if you have a windows computer - god - they tend to reboot for the most annoying reasons some of which you can not control such as operating system updates, security updates, critical updates. I have to agree with them - maybe you think it's a pain to walk that SD card over to your printer but it will save you so much headache.

Yes you can do 500 prints in a row without issues on some printers but other printers made by the same company have seriously high error rates over USB when printing.īecause of this Ultimaker gave up and stopped officially supporting USB printing. Something about the hardware or software (not sure which) is a bit unreliable. Including I'm sure FlashForge and definitely Ultimaker. Something like 99% of "cheap" 3d printers out there use Marlin firmware and the same CPU (atmega 2560) and the same USB chips and drivers. An this is the first time i have found anyone, anywhere, that has shared possible solutions, an their own, working, work arounds to something that should have been resolved by the manufacturer years ago! Thank you AliRassi, and Toylerrr!!! 🙂 Thank you so much to both of you! Since getting FlashForge Creator Pro its been a nightmare just getting anything to actually work with it! Seems the driver for it is not supported at all, even in its own software! Every piece of software i have tried seems to see it, an it works if the file is transferred manually by sd card, so the machine an software work, but trying to get the thing to work via usb seems to never work! It must be terrible usb drivers an the fault at flashforge, or windows, end? Wish i never brought the thing!Īnyway, just thought i would say thank you, as theres no support what so ever at flashforge. All you have to do is have skirt and cura will do the rest.

I use mine because it doesn't use the confusing need to disable the other extruder to have a priming built into the start script. I wrote the original version of the Creator Pro profile that Eugr based his off of (somewhat).
