    I wish you were correct about the "poor design" but the facts show otherwise.
    To clarify, unless FF has changed the Dreamer (It would be a simple change and there have been several revisions to the...

    A couple of observations:
    First, if you have a design payload of 250lbs, I think you need to design for 500-750 lbs minimum. That "bump" in the road could easily cause a 2G force making you weigh...

    First the questions ask in various, multiple forms whether or not you have associated with terrorist (et al.) organizations, giving a normal person reason to wonder what kind of idiot terrorist would...

    I just realized that I missed answering another part of your question.

    Not sure that I particularly recommend them but I use the default value that FF uses in Flashprint and have never had reason...

    I realize this thread has died but thought I should post this in the event that a Dreamer owner ends up here searching.
    According to documentation from Flash Forge, the Dreamer does not use G130. It...

    Yes, if you put the new firmware in the sys folder of the microsd card, the dreamer will try to load it when it starts.
    But be careful about versions. If you have updated Flashprint that is why you...

    I hesitated replying to this as I am by no means a thermoplastic expert but here is what I think.
    I understand that the glass point for common ABS filament is around 105°C but it does vary...

    Just went back and read your first post again. I see you have the all metal hot end. Is it the MicroSwiss or Carls? I made my own but still want to make an aluminum carriage before I go to...

    Yes, I am surprised the FF made that mistake. I suspect that it was a case of form over function and easier maintenance. It is nice that the heaters, fans and thermocouples can all be changed easily...

    Yes, the ADS1118 circuit is right out of the data sheet and that would be fine except they made one BIG mistake.
    The thermocouples are connected to terminals on the wiring board at the extruders and...

    I haven't used 3dsmax in years but I suspect that you will need the units in mm. This is what I need in SolidWorks.

    3D printing, at least in consumer priced products, has a long way to go before it can be considered trouble free.

    I consider the support I have received from FlashForge to have been superb,...

    This is only a guess but not good news. Did you have the Dreamer on when you were correcting the fan wiring? If so, I am afraid that you probably shorted the red and black fan wires together. This...

    I suspect the stl file has defects. Try checking it with netfabb. I have seen this behavior when trying to create very thin or short structures. Also try the other slicers although the ffslicer and...

    The Dreamer supports FAT32 on a 4GB SDHC card and long file names. Not sure of the max size SDHC card nor the upper limit on file names but I have some 25 character names on mine.

    I have not confirmed your experience with saving fpp files as I never do that.
    I have also narrowed the problem with multiple files.

    Assuming that you mean what is the best gap to set when leveling the bed, I believe that you will find that most slicers expect this to be 0.1mm. The two most important aspects of this gap are that...
