I offerred a coworker one of my 3D printers - which had been sitting idle for 5y - for his son, like a year ago, and I forgot about it since then. He asked me about it again today... so anyway, I'm 6 hours deep in fixing it, replacing cables, a driver from spares, and a missing motor...

I have a Flashforge Creator Pro that hasn't been used since COVID that I've been toying with the idea of upgrading. Quieter drivers, Klipper w/ a Pi Zero 2, better hot ends/extruders/nozzles/etc. For the $$ I could buy a better printer, but it wouldn't be as fun >_>

Funny enough, mine is a QIDI TECH I, a clone of your exact FlashForge haha

I think the Flashforge Creator was also a clone of some Makerbot lol I think dual extruders was pretty cutting edge for 2015 though I never used it for dual color prints. I just kept different colored spools loaded for part choices XD

Haha I forgot about it being a clone clone but you're right! I never really used it for a 2nd color either. However, I have used the second nozzle for EVA filament (what glue sticks are made of) for flexible and eco friendly supports. That way I could print ABS with no support marks.
