So, by that one sentence, I think you verified that this was "overthought" :) And, basically a non-problem unless you are printing at much higher temps, which are not recommended for the machine. ...

Graham,

Thanks for that info, that helped a lot. I'll test those settings and see if it makes any difference or not.

I wish I could agree on the "poor design" of the wiring on thermocouples...

Thanks Graham. Interesting that Lisa provided an example on that command and not any others. The example appears to be a lower value too. Hmmm...

Is there a definitive list of all commands for the Dreamer out there somewhere? And, what settings do you recommend for the M907 command?

Aardvark, thanks for the info. If my Dreamer ever kicks it, I may look into that one. I've seen some posts recently on "why Flashforge should release new printers", and I think noise is a major...

Had quite a few when I tried this a while back. Finally found a setting (x80 y80) that was acceptable for me and worked well. I don't recommend it for anyone, but I was on a mission to quiet the...

Motors make plenty of noises, especially stepper motors. Plus, as you said, all the gears, belts, rods and all. Lower the amount of torque applied to all said, and yes you can lower the noise the...

Awesome, the "G130" code was what I was looking for. Found this on Google's forums:

G130 X65 Y65 Z40 A127 B127 ; default stepper vrefs

The x65 y65 setting was what that guy liked, and I...

Hi all!

A while back I ran across some gcode on another forum that adjusted the torque used for the stepper motors during printing. The result was it made the printing a tad quieter. I've lost...

I used glass for a long time. Now use this: http://www.geckotek3d.com/ Like it a lot better than glass. You replace both the platform and the bed.

As most of us know, FlashForge built the original Dremel Idea Builder 3D Printer which sold pretty heavily in Home Depot stores. Well, Dremel has a new one, the Idea Builder 2: ...

Funny, I've had really bad luck with ABS before using this bed. This bed was one of the first that allowed me to do ABS right. The bed heated just fine, of course I used the "HT" version of the bed...

I do all kinds of fun things with the LEDs with Simplify3D. :) You can also, edit the .gcode file. The lights are near the top with a M146 command, set it to "M146 R0 B0 G0" or add that line near...

I gave up on Kapton tape a long time ago. Seems now like it was a waste of time and money. I found better solutions.

Posting here. Time wasted. If you're not willing to fix it, pick another hobby and go to that forum.

If you don't mind spending a bit on a new bed, you might try this: http://www.geckotek3d.com/ I've had awesome results with it.

I've got a Dreamer, and just started using one of these beds: http://www.geckotek3d.com/ Using an infared thermo, I've found the bed to be within 2 to 5 degrees of what I set it to. Not bad I...

Getting the "heights" is definitely a problem. Plagued me for a long time. Worth the effort though.

Bottom line: the heights must be equal. It's not easy, but loosening/tighting the top and...

Ah! Cool. different that what I heard. Funny how things change on the internet. Glad I got the 2nd generation. All's good. Thanks.

CES is dying. Lots of companies MIA there.

Right, That wouldn't fix the "problem" as you describe it. Most likely this was a first generation issue, and is no longer a problem. The fans were added for better PLA printing. The printer does...

That's a false statement made by someone a while back. Sad it still sticks around. There was an incorrect assumption that the extra connection at the top of the extruder assembly applied additional...

I keep going back to Hatchbox myself. Most others have such varying quality, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Hatchbox performs the same each and every time. That's worth more to me that one single...

I just got one of these for my FlashForge Dreamer: http://geckotek3d.com Replaces the bed, and adds a metal plate on top that makes removing the prints without damage much much easier. No need for...
