Bought one for 300ish over the holiday. Printed about 80 hours and the heater/thermistor died. In the middle of a warranty claim now. Seems like everyone who bought one over the holiday has this issue and replacing the heater thermistor with a replacement part is not what I want to do with my practically brand new printer and it is fairly involved- also part of the reason I paid for this printer.

When it works it's great but caveat emptor. Aliexpress isn't the easiest return I've attempted.

Same here. I ended up buying one off Amazon for $35 instead of waiting 2 weeks from flashforge. I'll have a spare now

Ditto. Been a great printer but my heating element went out at 50 hours. It took about a week to get one from warranty. I first thought it was the bus cable going to the extruder head assembly, the clip that comes with the printer had pinched it pretty badly, but they sent me the heater instead. They likely know it's an issue for their printers. Other than that I love the printer.

My kid has also been trying to fix it for a while; it may be that the unit has gone down. I would be thankful if you could share how to go about going through the warranty process.

Hey man! You can email flashforge and they're actually quite quick with a response. They'll ask you for proof of purchase, serial, and hours printed, then after you give them that they send you a part and it's bout 12 screws to swap out and it looks lame.

I get "extruder T0 not heating as expected" on mine. Had it for two weeks and its happened twice. Power cycling fixes the issue, and luckily the print picks up where it left off.
