Preface

Note: Each device must be tested before leaving factory. If there are some

residues in extruder or some tiny scratches on the build tape, it is normal and

won’t affect the printing quality.

On the completion of this User Guide, thanks all FlashForge engineers and the

FlashForge 3D printer users for their unremitting efforts and sincere

assistance.

The FlashForge Dreamer NXUser Guide is designed for the Dreamer NXusers

to start their printing journey with FlashForge Dreamer. Even if you are familiar

with earlier FlashForge machines or 3D printing technology, we still

recommend that you read through this guide, as there is lots of important

information about the Dreamer NXfor you to get a better 3D experience.

For a better and more successful printing experience, you

can refer to the following materials:

(1) Quick Start Guide

Users will find the Quick Start Guide together with the printer accessories. The

Quick Start Guide will help you start your print journey as soon as possible.

(2) Official FlashForge Website:http://www.flashforge.com

The official FlashForge website contains the up-to-date information concerning

FlashForge software, firmware, device maintenance and so on. Users are also

able to get the contact information from there.

Chapter 1: 3D Printing Technology

3D printing refers to transforming three-dimensional models into physical

objects that you can hold and touch. It is also called additive manufacturing

because the 3D model is created by “adding” layers upon layers of material

until the object is fully formed.

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is the most common method of 3D printing. It

is also the method that the Dreamer NX uses. It works by melting plastic

material called filament onto a print surface in high temperature. The filament

solidifies after it cools down, which happens instantaneously after it is extruded

from the nozzle. 3D objects are formed with the filament laying down multiple

layers.

1.1 Process

3D printing involves three steps:

1.) Make or download a 3D model

2.) Slice and export the 3D model

3.) Build the 3D model

1.1.1 Make a 3D Model

Currently, there are three ways of making a 3D model.

·Designing From Scratch You can use free CAD (computer-aided design)

software such as 3DTADA, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Pro-E, and our own

software Happy 3D, which is suitable for the beginners, to design your own 3D

model.

Dreamer NX User Guide | www.flashforge.com

·3D Scanners An alternative method to making a 3D model is to scan an

object. 3D scanners work by digitizing a physical object, collecting its geometric

data, and saving it to a file on your PC. There are also apps that can turn a

mobile device into a 3D scanner.

·From the Cloud The most popular way of obtaining a 3D model is to

download it from websites that allow users to upload 3D models that they

designed.

FlashCloud: cloud.sz3dp.com/

E.g. www. thingiverse.com

1.1.2 Slice and Export the 3D Model

Slice software is the software that prepares 3D models for printing and turns

them into instructions for the 3D printers. FlashPrint is the slicing software used

for the FlashForge Dreamer NX.

Using FlashPrint, you can prepare a. stl files to be .g or .gx files for printing.

Then the files can be transferred to your Dreamer NX via USB cable, USB stick

or Wi-Fi.

1.1.3 Build the 3D Model

Once the output file has been transferred to your Dreamer NX, it will start to

turn the 3D model into a physical object by laying down layers of filament.
