Flashprint 5 - newbe

[astrobee]

I'm new here, but the latest firmware makes it impossible to user older Flashprint software. I am also someone who doesn't like Flashprint 5. My favorite feature was to toggle between fast-normal-fine print options , when I just wanted to test out a model or size of a 3D object so I won't go wasting my filament if it's not good. This is all done without going into too deep in the options. Those options are gone from Flashprint 5. They essentially made Flashprint 5 very unfriendly to new users and there is no way back! The latest firmware did something, so now the older Flashprint software no longer working, but giving an error when the model sent for printing! If I want to print with less material , I have to fiddle around in the expert options to turn things up or down and change values and absolutely zero clue to a newbie what they are really changing. The "idiot mode" only offers one option to print . Just how stupid are these decisions? Why remove such basic features from a slicer?I mean heck, far more sophisticated slicers have those options and even more, while Flashprint 5 is a half-baked /half done software with an ugly and confusing interface , lacking interface options. This is my first and last ever purchase of Flashforge printers. I'm not even going into how I couldn't use any other free slicers with this printer, it has to be the least compatible brand anywhere to be found and I won't even go into how they are ripping off customers by offering a .5Kg roll of filament for nearly the same money as 1Kg filament offered by others, but to use 1Kg filament , the side panel of the FF Adventurer has to be open and I had to print parts to it to hold the filament. What a rip off company with poor support and absolute lack of community and lack of 3rd party support, simply because it's like nobody cares. For the money I bought mine, I wish I could read up on reviews first, because I could have gotten a much better printer with much better support. Rant out.
