Nice to see the improvements in the software from 3 years ago. and they are still bringing out new updates . Brilliant support .

What I've discovered is that underneath the bed there is also a steel plate with strings. So if there is more pressure in the middle it will give a little bit. Using a brim also helped to get better adhesion in areas closer to the edges. Since the bed is only 150*150 this is probably acceptable. If the bed was 200 or larger I guess this wouldn't work anymore

If you plan to keep adjusting things instead of printing and waste a lot of materials of failed print jobs, then yes.

Flashforge printers have been having a lot of issues lately and it almost all comes down to them cheaping out with garbage quality Chinese stepper motors for the extruder. No matter how much I clean out the nozzle, which is brand new now, with new bowden tubes and everything else, the extruder continues clicking away. Even slowing down the print and increasing temps doesn't help. It's not just the adventure 3 either. it appears they've used the same under-spec stepper motor for pretty much their whole product line.
