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 Creator Pro User Guide is designed for the Creator Pro users to start their printing

journey with Flashforge Creator Pro. 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 Creator Pro for 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: 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 Creator Pro 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 creating 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 to design your

own 3D model.

3D Scanners: An alternative method to creating 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.

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 Creator Pro.

Using FlashPrint, you can prepare stl. files to be x3g files for printing. Then users can print files via SD card.

1.1.3 Build the 3D Model

Once the output file has been transferred to your Creator Pro, it will start to turn the 3D model into a

physical object by laying down layers of filament.

Chapter 3: Unpacking

3 . 1 About Your Creator Pro

( Reference video: Creator Pro Unpacking )

The Creator Pro was carefully packaged at FLASHFORGE manufacturing facility. Please follow the

unpacking steps laid out below.

1. Handle the package and its contents with extra care; do not use

any unnecessary force.

CAUTION

2. Do not remove the wrapping around the nozzle. It consists of a

ceramic fiber fabric and heat resistant tape that helps to keep

the nozzle at a constant temperature.

1. Open box and remove top foam piece.

4. Remove the packing bag. And then

remove the tape and plastic wrap for

protecting the front door.

2. The foam should contain: two filament guide

tubes, one piece of build tape, one Flashforge

leveling card, one user guide and one Quick

Start Guide.

3. Firmly grasp the two side handles of

Flashforge Creator Pro. Lift it out from the

carton and place it on a stable surface.
