Click [My Printer] - [Add Printer]. Fill in the registration number (cloud registration code) on the Add Printer page, and name the printer. After clicking OK, these information will appear in the FlashCloud interface of the printer. 4.4 Model Removal Note Notice: Wait for the platform to cool down before operating. Warning: Please be careful when removing the model from the build plate with hand tools. Sudden tool slippage and improper body position when removing the model from the build plate may result in personal injury. Attention: Do not scratch the build plate when removing the model. Scratches in the build plate will lead to model creation errors. Remove the magnetic steel plate and bend it and the model can be removed. 15 5. Equipment Conguration and Operation 5.1 Dual-extruder Printing Mode Setting When printing dual-color/dual-filament models in thre dual-extruder printing mode, please make sure the nozzles are in contact with the anti-oozing plate. This will prevent the nozzles from overflowing during the printing process. Creator 3 Pro defaults to the left extruder as the filament supporting extruder and the right extruder as the printing extruder. When printing a single-color model, the right extruder is automatically used as the printing extruder if not set by the user. The following modes can be set for printing:
In the expert mode:
1. Load the model;
2. Select the support type, and click ;
3. Add the support automatically, and click [Supports] > [Auto Supports];
4. Click [Start Slicing], entering the parameter configuration screen;
5. Select the configured filament, such as Creator 3 Pro PLA + PVA;
6. Click [Slice]. 16 5.2 Mirror/Duplicate Mode If you want to print two identical or mirror models, please choose the mirror/duplicate mode. In this mode, the left and right extruders will print the models at the same time. (Note that when in the mirror/duplicate mode, the X-axis size of the model only supports the models smaller than 133mm.) 17 Compensation layer in the mirror/duplicate mode Mirror/duplicate mode: Since the heights of the left and right extruders are different after installation, the software will automatically add a compensation layer to compensate for the height difference when slicing, so that the printing heights of the left and right sides are consistent. Z-axis calibration is based on the right extruder, and the height difference between the left and right extruders is recorded. When the distance between the right extrudemr and When the distance between the left extruder and the the platform is small, the left extruder prints the platform is small, the right extruder prints the compensation layer. compensation layer. When the height difference is less than 0.2mm, the compensation layer is not printed. The compensation layer is printed first, and it is easy to be removed by adhering to the raft. If the raft printing is not performed, the compensation layer will be directly applied to the model, which is difficult to remove. 18 5.3 Filament Conguration Creator 3 Pro is equipped with two independent extruders. It can be used for printing PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, PC, HIPS and PVA filaments. Creator 3 Pro's left extruder print support filaments by default. Please refer to the table below for the combination of independent dual-extruder extrusion filaments. Soluble lament combination:
Insoluble lament combination:
Left extruder Right extruder Left extruder Right extruder PVA PVA HIPS HIPS HIPS HIPS HIPS PLA NYLON ABS ASA PC PETG HIPS PVA: Soluble in water;
HIPS: Soluble in limonene. PLA ABS ASA PC PA PETG PA-CF PA-GF PLA ABS ASA PC PA PETG PA-CF PA-GF Note: Creator 3 Pro can print nylon carbon fiber and nylon glass fiber. However, because the nozzle is not made of high-strength material, it will cause wear on the nozzle. Therefore it is estimated that the nozzle needs to be replaced when printing one roll of 1kg nylon carbon fiber filaments. This situation can be switched to high-strength nozzle printing. Storage of PVA/PA filaments PVA filaments are water-soluble and have strong water absorption. Filaments will soften when absorbing water, which will easily lead to printing failure. PVA filaments should be placed in a drying box when printing. PA/PVA storage needs to be sealed and dried. 5.4 Filament Setting For best results, each filament requires different settings. If a model is prepared using FlashPrint, these settings will automatically be set correctly if the correct extruder and filament are selected. Adaptability of filament parameters Different filament brands correspond to different filament characteristics, so it is recommended to use the expert mode to fine-tune the parameters to ensure better printing quality when using Creator 3 Pro. Thickening the first layer height, and increasing the amount of the first layer filament output is conducive to the adhesion of the first layer;
Please set the raft temperature at 45 when printing small models with PLA (or ambient temperature is higher than 25);
Please set the raft temperature at 70 when printing large models with PLA (or ambient temperature is lower than 10);
When using PVA support, it is recommended that the support speed be reduced to 40%. For all materials supported by Creator 3 Pro, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of glue (using the glue stick in the accessory box) on the build plate before starting printing, which will ensure that the finished printing work adheres well to the build plate. 19 5.5 Removal Method of Water-soluble Support Filament Models using PVA as the support lament require some subsequent treatment to remove the PVA support lament. This can be done by dissolving the PVA in water. 1. Soak the model in water The PVA model can be dissolved slowly by putting it into water. You can use the following methods to speed up the dissolution process:
Using hotter water can reduce the dissolution time. If the construction material is PLA, please make sure that the maximum temperature of the water does not exceed 35 to avoid PLA deformation. If it is of nylon, please make sure the water temperature does not exceed 50 to prevent burning. Using stirred/owing water can signicantly reduce the dissolution time. PVA dissolves faster when water ows. Soak the model in water for about 10 minutes rst, then remove most of the support with pliers, and then put the model back in water, so that PVA can be dissolved more easily. 2. Wash with water After the PVA support is completely dissolved, rinse the model with water to remove the remaining PVA. 3. Dry the model Dry the model completely and then perform additional post-processing on the model if necessary. 4. Waste water treatment Since PVA is biodegradable, it is easy to dispose of waste water afterwards. When the waste water pipeline is connected with the waste water treatment unit, the waste water can be discharged through the waste water pipeline. After the disposal of the waste water, ush the drain pipe with hot water for 30 seconds to remove excess PVA in the drain pipe and avoid long-term blockage. The water can be reused to soak multiple models, but it may increase the dissolution time. Therefore, it is recommend-
ed to use fresh water to achieve the fastest eect. 20 5.6 Camera Connection Before using the camera, please remove the cover at the front of the camera. WLAN network camera connection 1. Click [Tools]-[Setting]-[WiFi] in the main interface of the 2. Click [Tools]-[Setting]-[About] in turn in the main touch screen of the equipment in turn, turn on the WLAN interface to query and record the equipment Wi-Fi IP network connection button and connect to the network. address: 10.33.23.180 (The example is for reference only.

Insert the USB disk into the computer and open the USB disk folder to nd the log le. 4. Please send the log le to Flashforge After-sales Service. 7.2 Maintenance and Service Problem Cause Solution The extruder is o-center. The equipment has lost the precise position track of the extruder and thus leading to printing failure. Remove the model, clean the build plate, return the extruder back to its original position, and recalibrate. Then print a new model. Filaments are not properly extruded or adhering to the build plate. It may be that the build plate is not leveled and the distance between the build plate and the extruder is inconsistent. Re-level. The equipment does not respond before starting printing the model. The equipment may have received conicting commands. Turn o the power switch, wait for 30 seconds, and then turn on the power switch. At the end of printing, laments are attached to the nozzle in blocks;
Or laments are scattered in the printer in the form of laments. A layer of the model did not adhere correctly, and the minimum surface area in contact with the build plate was adopted when saving the model; Or no support is selected when printing and it is suspended above the build plate. The model is only half printed. The printing laments run out. The extruder is blocked during printing. The printing lament cannot be extruded. The extruder is blocked. Re-slice the model and add supports if necessary. Replace the printing lament, turn on the lament detection function, and continue printing; See "The printing lament cannot be extruded" below for more. Use the unclogging pin tool to push the lament in the lament feeding state. Contact After-sales Service. The extruder can not return to its original position. Limit switch line fault. Contact After-sales Service. In the steep protruding part, the surface of the model is slender and sparse or worn. The model protrudes too far or shakes too much.
(angle less than 45 degrees). Print with supports. 26 7.3 Unclog the Nozzle 1. Click [Preheat], set the heating temperature, and tap the Return button. 2. Click [Tools]-[Filament]-target extruder [Load], wait for the extruder to heat up until the screen prompts for lament feeding, and insert the pin into the extruder inlet (top). 3. Push the blocked residue down and squeeze it out from the nozzle. If you encounter some resistance, you can push down. Be careful not to use brute force. If you have tried doing this several times and it still can not be clogged with force, then you need to replace the nozzle or contact after-sales customer service. 7.4 Replace the Nozzle Assembly Please operate with the power o 1. Unscrew the screws with an Allen screwdriver and 2. Unscrew the screws here and pull out the wire harness remove the extruder cover;
of the heating pipe and thermocouple;
3. Replace the nozzle assembly with a new one. Be sure to push the nozzle assembly to the bottom, and there must be no installation gap. Tighten the corresponding screws; Insert the wire harness into the extruder circuit board; Cover the housing and lock the screws. 27 7.5 Anti-oozing Plate It is a normal phenomenon that the anti-oozing plate may have partial scratches on itself due to factory testing. With the continuous use of printing, scratches will become more obvious, but this will not aect the use of the nozzles, and the distance between the anti-oozing plate and the nozzles can be adjusted manually. Please make sure that the nozzles are always in contact with the anti-oozing plate when in use. If the scratches are deep, it can be replaced according to the actual situation. 7.6 Daily Maintenance and Use Suggestion 1. When the equipment is not used in daily life, please cover the top cover and close the front door to avoid dust falling on the equipment. If the equipment is not used for a long time, it is recommended to use original package for sealing. 2. Lubricate the moving parts regularly. If the equipment is used frequently, add lubricating oil (grease) at least once every three months; If the equipment is not used for a long time, add lubricating oil (grease) at least once every six months. 3. After each printing, please clean up the lament residue and other sundries in the printing cavity in time to avoid small sundries falling into the bottom circuit board and aecting the use of the equipment. 4. Printing stickers are consumables. When the adhesion of the build plate's stickers drops or even the sticks are damaged, please replace the printing stickers in time so as not to aect the printing eect. 5. After using the equipment for the rst time or replacing the printing laments, Flashforge ocial laments shall be used until the colors of the laments extruded from the nozzles are consistent with the colors of the laments loaded. 6. At any time, it is recommended to place the model at the center of the build plate. You can set the placing position of the model in the slicing software. 7.
