 ====== Flashforge Creator 3 Pro ======
-The Flashforge Creator 3 Pro printer is a dual head 3d printer, which provides pretty good printing results just out of the box and works with Linux. Although at the time of this writing it has been just three years after product launch, Flashforge does not list the printer anymore at their official webpage. But there is still some information available on archive.org: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210927005257/https://www.flashforge.com/product-detail/flashforge-creator-3-pro-3d-printer|Flashforge Creator 3 Pro]].
+The Flashforge Creator 3 Pro printer is a dual head 3d printer, which provides pretty good printing results just out of the box. Flashforge even provides slicer software for linux. Unfortunately within three years after the product was launched, Flashforge removed the printer from their official webpage. At the moment the product webpage can only be seen on archive.org: [[https://web.archive.org/web/20210927005257/https://www.flashforge.com/product-detail/flashforge-creator-3-pro-3d-printer|Flashforge Creator 3 Pro]].
 ===== Flashforge Creator 3 Pro - fan fix =====
-Did you ever try to turn on the left or right cooling fan at the Flashprint((The Slicer provided by Flashforge, currently at Version 5.8.7, [[https://www.flashforge.com/pages/software-flashprint]])) control panel and observed that only the right cooling fan actually spins? I stumbled upon this, contacted Flashforge customer support, but after many fruitless discussions, it was also clear that Flashforge wasn't interested to fix anything at all.

At that time it was also clear that Flashforge wasn't interested to fix anything at all.
-When testing with a gcode file((The printer uses a .gx format, which is similar to gcode but with an additional header at the top. Further info can be found here: [[https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/issues/4869]].)).

 This long article is about getting the left cooling fan to work, starting reverse engineering with Ghidra and patching the firmware and much more.

-For further reverse engineering it would be much more practical if we could use ssh, rather than a terminal over a serial cable. But from a port scan with nmap, ssh is not found, which was confirmed later on, after we got looked around at the system. So we would need to build ssh (dropbear) ourselves first, which can be easily done using buildroot.
