1. Manually pull the platform base inside the
machine outward slightly to a suitable
position.
2. Take out a PEI build plate from the accessories, and align the side with a groove
inward with the two locating pins on the platform base.
3. When the locating pins just press against the
groove of the platform plate, align the platform
plate with the base along the outline of the
platform base, and lightly place the platform
plate and attach it on the platform base to
complete the installation.
Both sides are available. The gold PEI side
can be used to print PLA/PLA-CF/PETG-CF
High-Speed PLA. The other side can be used
to print PETG/High-Speed PETG. Please
choose according to the printing material.

2.4 Printing
2.4.2.1 Leveling and Calibration

2.4.1 Software Installation
2.4.2 Equipment Preparation
3D printing process is as follows:
(1). Obtain the 3D file; (2). Download and install the slicing software;
(3). Prepare the equipment; (leveling, calibration and filament loading);
(4). Start printing (model file slicing, transmission and printing).
Find the FlashPrint software installation package in the USB flash drive, and select the
corresponding system version for installation. As the software will be updated regularly,
please pay attention to the update status of the software. The latest slicing software can
be downloaded from the official website (www.flashforge.com) - [Support] - [Download
Center] - [Software].
Note
The equipment has been leveled and calibrated before leaving the factory, but the
leveling plane may be damaged due to the vibration generated during transportation.
It is recommended to perform a calibration before first use.（This step is optional.）
Click [Tools] - [Setting] - [AutoCalibration] and operate following the on-screen prompts.

1. Click [Start] and the machine starts pre-calibration. The first point is to calibrate the initial
distance between the nozzle and the platform. Click the Up and Down arrows to adjust
the Z-axis deviation value; Insert a leveling card between the nozzle and the platform.
If it cannot be inserted, it means that the nozzle and the platform are too close. Click the
Up arrow to make the nozzle away from the platform.
2. Insert and slide the leveling card. If there is no frictional resistance, click the Down
arrow to make the nozzle closer to the platform; When there is slight friction resistance,
it means that the distance is appropriate.
Auto Calibration
When the platform is uneven it is
recommended to turn on this
function and click the start

1. Open the filament cover, insert the filament into the filament intake, push the filament
into the feeding wheel until some resistance is sensed.
Note: Please make sure the filament has been pushed into the feeding wheel!
3. After calibrating the first point, please follow the on-screen prompts to continue the
9-point automatic leveling.
For specific operation, you can refer to the video. The link path

2. Put the spool of filament on the spool holder and close the filament cover.
5. As shown on the right, loading starts when the extruder
is heated to the target temperature.
Note: The extruder will be heated to the highest
temperature by default during automatic filament feeding
and withdrawing. Actually, the extruder heating
temperature can be adjusted according to the used
filament when in practical use.

After generating the Gcode file, you can transfer it to your printer with different network
methods. If you choose to print from a USB flash drive, please insert the USB flash drive
with the target file into the USB port on the printer. There will be no need to set network
connection.
1. Tap [Tools] - Tap [Network] - Tap [Wi-Fi].
2. Choose a network and input the password.
3. Open the FlashPrint software, click the icon at the bottom left corner of the interface to
