PRECAUTIONS:

Please make sure to read this page carefully prior to setting up and operating the Creator Pro.

The Creator Pro is very sensitive to static electricity, so please make sure you contact a grounded object

before operating the machine.

Before repairing or making any alterations to the Creator Pro, it is essential that the machine is turned off

and the power cord is unplugged.

The Creator Pro operates at very high temperature; allow the nozzle, the extruded plastic and heating plate

to cool before touching.

Some plastic filaments may give off a little odor when heated. Because of this, the machine should always

operate in a well-ventilated area.

Do not wear gloves when operating or repairing, as entanglement may occur and cause injury.

Do not leave the machine unattended when in operation.

WARNING

Flashforge sets the power supply to default 230v before leaving factory. If voltage in your location is between 90v

to 132v, please switch the power setting from 230v to 115v before you plug in the power. Failure to do so will

damage the motherboard.You can find the power source at the bottom of Creator Pro. The red box is where the

power setting is located:

2Un-boxing

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

out below.



First, put the box on the floor in a clean and flat surface. Remove the top two long boxes and set them aside. You will

find a power cord, 1 USB A to B cable, 1 sensor line and 2 filament guide tubes in these two long boxes.

CAUTION

Handle the package and its contents with extra care; do not use any unnecessary force.

Do not remove the thin yellow film from the heating plate. It is heat resistant tape that improves the

adhesion of the extruded plastic to the plate.

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.

３

You will find another box within the relevant assembly tools under the two long boxes. You should assemble the Acrylic

cover yourself and please check the assembly video in the SD card.

Please hold both sides of the printer and take it out after you take out the side EPE of Creator Pro. Please make sure

you only can hold the frame.

Now you can see the top of the printer along with more boxes inside. The large box with the black wire is the

accessory box.This contains the dual extruder heads, SD card and other important components. Don't remove the

accessory box or its contents yet. Note: Do not lift the box by the black cable! If so could cause damage.

Next, take the Creator Pro out of the box by grasping the outer frame. Be sure to grasp only the frame. Gently lift and

transfer the printer to your work surface as shown on next page.

Gently lay down the printer and open the bubble film as shown below.

４

Now, open the accessory box and remove the accessory sleeve. You will find the dual extruder heads in the protective

packaging along with the black cable, carefully remove it and place it on your work surface. Remove the cardboard

packing material and take the accessory box from the printer, set it aside for later.

The build platform should now be visible. It is an aluminum plate covered in a thin polyamide film. This is the surface

that your objects will be printed on. Note: Remember not remove the film.

The next step is to raise the build platform; there are two ways to do this:

1. Turn the screw which is behind the rotating platform.

2. Grasp the printing platform with one hand on each side, raising it slowly and keeping it level.

Stop once the platform is just shy of the bronze nozzle.

Now you can see two rolls filaments we offer for free, you can get them easily after removeing the rest packaging.

５

3Initial Hardware Installation

To do this, begin by carefully placing the Creator Pro on one of its sides so that the bottom is exposed. You will see the

Creator Pro’s power supply. Using a flathead screwdriver switch the red power supply switch so that it displays 115v, as

shown below. Now you are ready to install the extruder.

You'll need the two shortest silver screws from the kit found in the accessory box, and the appropriate hex wrench.

First, lower the build platform by using one of the methods described in the previous section. Holding the extruder by

both sides, take it out of the accessory sleeve and position it on the extruder seat with the fan facing forward. Align

the screw holes and fasten with the two short silver screws.

WARNING

Flashforge sets the power supply to default 230v before leaving factory. If voltage in your location is between 90v

to 132v, please switch the power setting from 230v to 115v before you plug in the power. Failure to do so will

damage the motherboard. You can find the power source at the bottom of Creator Pro. The red box is where the

power setting is located:

６

Next is the installation of the spool holder. Install one on each side.

The installation of the spool holder is very simple – just insert it into the circular opening and tighten the nut behind.

Then install the filament guide tube to the empty spot on the extruder. Place one end of the guide tube into the hole.

The hardware installation is almost complete.

Next, with the power switch in the OFF position, confirm that the power cord is plugged into the power outlet next to

the power switch.

Now plug the USB A to B cable into the USB B-type port, do not plug the other end in yet.

Finally install the filament on the spool holder.

７

Congratulations! You have completed the initial hardware installation! If you're ready to start printing, proceed to the

next step: Software Installation.
