Installing ZMOD revealed a problem with my FlashForge Adventurer 5M which was either caused at the factory, during shipment (but the box is clean and shows no signs of mishandling) or my printer was a return that wasn't checked over before it was sent out again. This caused me to be unable to level the bed until I fixed it. The problem revealed itself as a "No Trigger on Probe After Full Movement" error during bed leveling.

I want to pick up where a failed print left off on my Adventurer 5M, but I'm running into the dreaded Timer Too Close (AKA "TTC") error from Klipper, which I know from errors shown on the Fluidd (web) interface instead of just having the system stop printing with no feedback like you get with the stock screen, because I am running the Forge-X mod.

My printer is a FlashForge Adventurer 5M. I got it for about $211 shipped, which is the only reason I bought this unit really. They seem to be hovering around $249 right now. In most ways I am very happy with it, but I ran into an irritating problem today.

I've been looking for a good source on 3d printer calibration, one better than the Orcaslicer page on the subject anyway, and I finally found a great video in straightforward English explaining a useful, working, proven process. Naturally, it was made by a German. Once again, if you'd rather have a video, go watch the video.

I have been 3d printing for a very short time, but I've already learned some stuff I wish I'd known earlier, and I'm going to write about it here now - both to benefit someone else who's just starting, and because I think it will be interesting to look back later and see how much I was or wasn't on the mark.
