Operation; Filament; Filament Compatibility; Print Setting - Flashforge Creator 3 User Manual

Creator 3 is equipped with independent dual extruders, which is suitable for PLA,ABS,PETG,Nylon（PA), PC, HIPS and
PVA. Independent dual extruder filament combination extrusion situations, see below:
Default left extruder as a support
Dissolvable filament:
Left extruder Right extruder
PVA PLA
PVA NYLON
HIPS ABS
HIP ASA
SHIPS PC
HIPS PETG
HIPS HIPS
PVA: Water soluble support filament
HIPS: HIPS can be dissolved in d-Limonene
Creator 3 is able to print PACF, , because of the material of the nozzle is not the hardened , the nozzle will be worn. It's
estimated that printing 1-2kg of PACF, will need to change a new nozzle and have to equip with a strong extruder.
Standard device equipped with a standard feeding extruder.
While Creator 3 is adopted with open type filament system, we still suggest using Flashforge filament.All the Flashforge
filament is tested professionally,and are possessed of optimized configuration files, which ensures perfect print effect.
Storage of PVA /PA
Direct exposure to the air, it is easy subject to moisture and softening, print bad easily after softening ,so please store
the PVA in dry box when printing. It should be stored in sealed bag or dry box.
Each type of filament needs different setting for best print effect.
If using prepared models of Flashprint,setting completed automatically under the circumstance of choosing correct
extruder and filament.
For better adhesiveness of print product,we suggest applying a thin layer of glue(Use the glue stick in the accessory
box) before printing.
Adaptability of filament parameters
Different filament brands have different filament characteristics. When using creator 3, it is recommended to use expert
mode to find a suitable parameter to ensure better printing quality.
· Thickening and increase flow rate of the first layer are beneficial to the adhesion.
· When printing small models（or environment temp is higher than 25 degree） with PLA: suggest to set platform
temperature to 45 degrees.
· When printing big models （or environment temp is lower than 10 degree）with PLA: suggest to set platform
temperature to 70 degrees.
· Print PVA as support, suggest to set speed to 40%.
