A.How to use this manual

This user manual is divided into four chapter for ease of navigation

and will use examples based on Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

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.

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

and operating the Dreamer.

·The Dreamer 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 Dreamer, it is essential

that the machine is turned off, and the power cord is unplugged.

·The Dreamer operates at a very high temperature; allow the nozzle,

extruded plastic and heating plate to cool before touching.

·Certain types of plastic filament may give off a slight odor when

heated. Because of this, the Dreamer should always operate in a

well-ventilated area.

·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.

The Flashforge Experience

Congratulations on your purchase of the Flashforge Dreamer 3D

desktop printer. You may already had prior experience with other

Flashforge products or know the technology behind 3D printing. However,

we still recommend that you read this manual as it contains important

information helpful to getting the best experience out of the Dreamer. By

following the user manual thoroughly and correctly, you will be able to

make your first print in no time. If you’d like to go over the fundamentals

of 3D printing and how it works, please read page 7.

The Flashforge Promise

Our team is composed of geeks and makers who are passionate about

3D printing and want to share this new technology with the world. We

understand the importance of product and service support, especially the

challenges that a new technology may bring along. With FLASHFORGE,

you can always expect a close, personal service from our team of experts.

At FLASHFORGE, we understand that 3D printing is a new

technology to many individuals. Our aim is to educate and guide you

through the entire process of 3D printing. With 3D printing, there are no

limits — you can go as far as your imagination takes you. With the

Dreamer, dreams are no longer simply just imaginations. They can

become physical realities that you can hold, touch, and feel. It is amazing

to see a 3D printer turn an idea into real life, layer by layer, and we are

delighted to have you on-board with us to experience this phenomenon!

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 of 3D 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

1. 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.

C.Understanding 3D Printing in 3 Minutes

Dreamer User Guide | www.ff3dp.com

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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

A.Unboxing the Dreamer

Congratulations on your purchase of the Flashforge Dreamer 3D

printer! In about 15 minutes, you will be ready to start making your first

3D object. This section lays out the procedure for correctly removing the

Dreamer from its shipping box. The Dreamer contains delicate

components; please remember to handle with extra care and attention.

Let’s begin!

1. Lay the Dreamer shipping box on a

flat surface, preferably the floor. Use

an X-acto knife and carefully cut open

the shipping box.

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 then see the Expert Kit,

power cord, and USB 2.0 cable in the

shipping box.
