Introduction

This User Guide is designed to start your journey with the Dreamer 3D

Printer off in the right direction. It presents the operation process on the

basis of the window 7 operating system. To get familiar with the machine,

it is essential for you to read through this guide. This User Guide includes

four chapters.

The first chapter lays out the guide on setting up the Dreamer and

preparing for its first print. You will learn the ins and outs of FlashPrint

software in the second chapter. The third portion is the actual printing and

covers the procedures for various methods of printing and techniques.

The last chapter includes information regarding obtaining support.

General Safety Warnings

Please make sure to read this section carefully prior to setting up

and operating the Dreamer.

! Ensure that your Dreamer is earthed lest electrostatic interference.

! Turn off the machine and unplug the power cable before doing

maintenance or modifications.

! Always avoiding to touch the nozzle and the plate during operation.

! Only use your Dreamer in a well-ventilated area. (When printing ABS,

small concentrations of Styrene vapor can be released. This may (in some

cases) make you uncomfortable.)

! Do not leave the Dreamer unattended when during operation.

!Do not leave the Dreamer unattended when in operation.

PRECAUTION:

Prior to powering on the Dreamer, make sure the power supply switch is set

to 115V if you are located in the United States and Canada. For other

countries, please refer to your country’s AC output voltage. Failure to do so

will damage the mainboard . For instructions on how to do this, please refer

to page 14.

About 3D Printing

What is 3D Printing?

Simply put, 3D printing is 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.

The Technique

Fused filament fabrication is the most common method of3D printing. It is

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

called filament onto a print surface using high temperature. The filament

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

extruded from the print head. 3D objects are formed with the filament

laying down multiple layers.

3D Printing Process

3D printing involves three steps: 1.) 3D model design, 2.) Slicing and

exporting the 3D model, and 3.) Making the print

Designing the 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 Google Sketchup, Tinkercad, and Blender to design your

very own 3D model. Or grab a copy of one of the commercial 3D design

software such as AutoCAD, Maya, or Rhino3D.

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.

1. Slicing and Exporting the 3D Model:

A slicing software is required to process and interpret the 3D model into

the language that 3D printers can understand. The FlashPrint is the slicing

software used for the FlashForge Dreamer.

FlashPrint will slice the 3D model into numerous layers and output it as

a .g file, which is the format read by the Dreamer. The file is then

transferred to the Dreamer by USB cable, SD card, or Wi-Fi.

2. Making the Print:

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

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

We are so grateful for your support to Flashforge by purchasing Dreamer

3D printer and so excited to start the print journey with us. After

15-minute reading and learning, we believe you can making your first 3D

object definitely on your own. When you set up your Dreamer 3D printer,

remember that it was built and packaged carefully at the Flashforge

Factory. We hope you will take your time and be just as carefully

unpacking and getting setup. Let’s get started!

1. Put Dreamer package on the clean,

tidy workbench,using a knife to cut the

tape ,then you can see two quick start

guide,which will guide you know our

Dreamer 3D Printer.

2. Remove the top protective foam

pieces, which also houses the

Dreamer’s

lid. Set this aside for now.

The Dreamer unit will then be exposed.

3. Lift the Dreamer by its side openings

and place it on a flat surface. You will
