  • I got the 5 a few years back. Great printer but I didn’t like the bounce in the platform so I printed stabilizers. Didn’t like the placement of the extruder moved it up top. Added the HeroMe. Still didn’t like the bounce of the plate so added a second z-axis. Added direct drive extruder. Linear rails. SKR mini. AC bed heater. Klipper. Mosquito Magnum. Prolly some other stuff. About the only original parts are the frame. I used it to learn how to print. And I printed some great stuff along the way. But it’s good now. I pretty much just print. But I really like that Bondtech LGX. Might have to try that out. :-D










  • Your retraction speed might be a little fast. 20-30mms is usually what I use. Only use the part cooling fan on the bridges. Speed can be a bit interesting. PETG is stringy. I typically print PETG pretty slow. 40-50 if I’m going for fine detail. Would probably increase the temp a bit too. That’s a bunch of wild-ass guesses but it’s where I’d start.



  • Vyvanse changed my life. Without it, my career would have stagnated and my marriage would likely be over. I was diagnosed in my early 40s. I didn’t realize how many of my issues stemmed from the frustration caused by being forgetful, procrastinating, aggressive, etc. The meds, along w/ years of therapy, help me manage my brain. I’m still the same person w/ many of the same issues but I am able to manage them much better. I’m not saying meds are for everyone. But be open-minded. Realize that ADHD is just like any other disease or disorder. You would take meds for diabetes or high blood pressure. It is the same thing.
