Flashforge Adventurer 3: Extruder Upgrade

Published 2023-04-15

The Flashforge Adventurer 3 is a very capable printer but does struggle with a proprietary extruder that is mounted and positioned in a way that makes it difficult to service. And due to it's lack luster extruder gear, servicing is required mcuh more often than one would like. Repositioning the stock extruder with a replacement one from an Ender 3 makes it much less difficult to service.

This video was exactly what I needed to get my printer back in action. Thank you 🙏

Just finished up. Still creaks a little with pre-extrusion, might need to tighten up the screw. But so far, so good. Great mod, many thanks.

Would you be willing to share that STL file of the mount you made for the extruder assembly?

I used to get this a lot. But since I have a few printers now this has become an ABS only. I also got a 0.3mm extruder and run it full speed and that seems ok. If it clicks its either the extruder/hot end that needs cleaning, is too close to the baseplate, or running at too fast a speed for the filament . But overall it is a c**p mechanism.

Did you just disconnect the filament sensor or did you have to make additional mods?

Gonna try this. 5500 hours of popping is too much. Thing is a money pit.
