I found they also have a referral program! If you use the link below it will extend your trail to 21 days instead of the usual 14 and offer a 30% discount if you purchase. *Disclosure: It's a referral link so it does provide rewards back to myself, but thought the boosted trail was a nice incentive if someone wanted to try the platform. |

Hello! I recently have also delved into trying to set my AD5X up on simplyprint. I ended up setting up mine as an ad5m for now, as the two are fairly similar (barring the ifs) I am certainly sure that setting up the ifs integration won't be straightforward, but as via zmod it can be instigated with the standard T0-3 commands, it might be doable? |

Haha! That's awesome you got the camera to work! I thought about setting it up as the AD5M knowing they were so close in mechanics. I'll need to see what command it is using to pull in the camera. I did set up my printer profile as having a single nozzle, 4 extruders but didn't do any testing yet. I'm still really new to slicers and finding the custom gcode requirements a little daunting. I'm trying to dig through the comments and notes @ghzserg made about it as I would imagen we need to mimic all of those custom T0 commands through the SimplyPrint setup to command color swapping. |

Hey everyone :) Albert from SimplyPrint here. Glad to hear you've got your AD5X's integrated with our platform! We'd love to properly support the printer and add it to our compatibility list and setup guide. We've tried reaching out to Flashforge for information, and possibly a demo unit, but with no luck just yet, and as a small company we can't afford to buy all new printers that hit the market. @Absolutely-D I'd be curious to hear how you got the camera working, and if anything special was needed to do that. What would really help us, is if someone would just list how they set this up, in terms of what a new user would need to do and thereby what we should write in our guide. We'd love to know that;
Thanks for the work you're putting in here - we really appreciate it! Let me know if I or my team can be of help. |

@AlbertMN Much appreciated! I don't want you to think I only helped to get the free sub time though so there's no need :) |

@AlbertMN is there a possibility of being able to add the AD5X (zMod) to the list of printers that can be used? Right now I had to basically use the AD5M pro profile when adding the printer |

I second that request- I’m running into an issue with the slicer as the 5M apparently uses a -110 +110 bed where the AD5X is 0 +220. Otherwise a generic XY printer has been my other solution. |

@SunX99 how did you get the camera working in SP? I made the edits to moonraker.cfg but it's not showing on the site or the app. |

Sure, here is the only thing I have in my user.moonraker.conf file. I think it did take a reboot of the printer before it registered. I thought it wasn't working at first, but it has been working through multiple reboots now without changes.

While doing some other testing- I kicked a print job to the printer via FF-Orca and was looking at the moonraker log. I noticed the following snippet over and over again, every second really, while it printed. It's telling me it's something to do with SimplyPrint and it's trying to give it a status update (I'm assuming) but failing in the code somewhere. Noting it here more so @AlbertMN might be able to comment on it. I'll have to look into more at a later time. See if I just need to update another configuration somewhere.

I do think that this was a bug in the main repo. Working under the assumption that you paused and resumed the print, it was possible for a divide by zero to occur if the file's metadata did not provide the layer height. I pushed a fix in the official repo, if you are using a fork you will need to manually apply the changes. |

I think one of the recommended gcode changes for zmod is to place some information specific to layer count in the layer count gcode section - is it potentially related to this? |

They are unrelated, at least insofar as to the cause of the divide by zero. The recommended slicer changes should provide 100% accurate layer information, whereas this particular section of code provides an estimated fallback. The layer detection code always runs if the file metadata includes the layer height. It should not have run here since the layer height was zero, however there was a bug in the resume code. |

I was going to try and colorize a test print in Simplyprint and loaded up the lighthouse. I couldn't figure out how to colorize it. Also, i imported profiles from Orca Slicer and they don't seem to be correct and are missing info. I did get the camera working by adding the webcam_name: video and restarting the printer |

I think the simplyprint cloud slicer has no native colorising ability currently, other than specific per-object filament selection. Even painting some faces in orca and importing the stl into simplyprint, it seems not to be able to handle that |

Only per-object colors, yep. |

any plans on supporting color switching in the future? (near future hopefully?) |

Actually I think I just saw them announce support for multicolor! |

@ghzserg is zlink only for zmod printers? or can i add any klipper printer to it? currently i use octoeverywhere but if i can add my other klipper printers, i may switch over |

Technically, zmod.link can support any printer. |

Hey zmodders!
While exploring different ways to remotely work with my printer, I found the platform SimplyPrint. In looking into it, I've gotten the base integration working.
The build of moonraker the AD5X is running allows for the [simplyprint] tag, I added into my mods\user.moonraker.cfg file and restarted and sure enough, in the announcement bell in fluiid was the pairing code. Running through the setup on their website it did find my local printer. Doing the 'identify' command did tell my printhead to home itself. I didn't get the camera working yet, and not sure what it's going to take with the IFS to get filament integrated but so far looks promising.
I reached out to SimplyPrint's support team and while they don't have official support for the AD5X since there is no official klipper endpoint they were encouraged to explore the integration with the AD5X.
Anyone else interested in this pursuit?
[edit]
Got home and am able to recreate the steps of what I did to add this. ADD the webcam started to magically work. Either a reboot was the key, or the additional line I added to the config.
Followed the directions here regarding editing your moonraker.conf inside of Fluidd only I edited the /mod_data/user.moonraker.conf file.
https://simplyprint.io/setup-guide#klipper:3
Dropping in this code:
Restarted (the printer and klipper via the gui in fluidd) and received the bell notification that the plugin had been turned on and I had a 4 digit print sync code.
I'm still working on bringing in the printers start/stop code and any slicer specifics. Trying to take those the FF-Orca virant knowing it can talk to the IFS.
**Confirming with @Absolutely-D that the webcam_name was probably the key, as I added that line in, but didn't reboot everything until coming home this afternoon! Good catch!
