Device Best Practices

Best practices on specific devices

Per-printer guidance for running Print Handy: the recommended settings, the order to change them in, and what has been verified on real hardware. The versioned pages in the repo are the source of truth; this wiki page only points to them.

Flashforge Adventurer 5X (AD5X)	AD5X best practices (site)	ZMod 1.7.5-2, Klipper 13, screenless with HelixScreen

The AD5X guide covers:

• Why screenless mode with HelixScreen works best with Print Handy
• Reading the ZMod version, and the klipper13 caveat
• Z offset with LOAD_ZOFFSET_NATIVE and LOAD_ZOFFSET=1
• Full bed mesh at 220/60 into auto, and KAMP with LINE_PURGE
• Purge modes (USE_TRASH_ON_PRINT 0, 1, 2) and Nopoop multicolour
• QuickSwap: the safe order to try it in and its known risks
• 3MF delivery ([printer] zmod_delivery_format)
• What has and has not been verified on hardware
