1. ആമുഖം

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your FLASHFORGE Creator Pro 2 3D Printer. The Creator Pro 2 is designed for precision and versatility, featuring an Independent Dual Extruder System (IDEX) that allows for advanced printing modes such as Mirror, Duplicate, Dual Filament, and Dual Color printing. Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the printer to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

2. സുരക്ഷാ നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Always adhere to the following safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage to the printer:

• ഇലക്ട്രിക്കൽ സുരക്ഷ: Ensure the printer is connected to a grounded power outlet with the correct voltage. Do not operate with damaged power cords.
• ചൂടുള്ള പ്രതലങ്ങൾ: The extruder nozzle and build plate reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid direct contact to prevent burns. Allow components to cool before handling.
• ചലിക്കുന്ന ഭാഗങ്ങൾ: Keep hands, hair, and loose clothing clear of moving parts during operation.
• വെൻ്റിലേഷൻ: പുക പുറപ്പെടുവിക്കാൻ സാധ്യതയുള്ള വസ്തുക്കൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് പ്രിന്റ് ചെയ്യുമ്പോൾ, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് വായുസഞ്ചാരമുള്ള സ്ഥലത്ത് പ്രിന്റർ പ്രവർത്തിപ്പിക്കുക.
• ഫിലമെന്റ് കൈകാര്യം ചെയ്യൽ: എക്സ്ട്രൂഡർ ചൂടായേക്കാം എന്നതിനാൽ, ഫിലമെന്റ് ലോഡുചെയ്യുമ്പോഴും അൺലോഡുചെയ്യുമ്പോഴും ജാഗ്രത പാലിക്കുക.
• മേൽനോട്ടം: Do not leave the printer unattended during long print jobs.
• കുട്ടികളും വളർത്തുമൃഗങ്ങളും: കുട്ടികൾക്കും വളർത്തുമൃഗങ്ങൾക്കും ലഭ്യമാകാതെ പ്രിന്റർ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.

The FLASHFORGE Creator Pro 2 is engineered for reliability and advanced 3D printing capabilities. Key features include:

3.1 Independent Dual Extruder System (IDEX)

The IDEX system allows the two extruders to operate independently, enabling advanced printing modes and increasing efficiency. This system is crucial for multi-material or multi-color prints, as well as for producing two identical or mirrored objects simultaneously.

3.2 Advanced Printing Modes

Leverage the IDEX system with four distinct printing modes:

• മിറർ മോഡ്: Prints two symmetrical models simultaneously, saving time for paired objects.
• ഡ്യൂപ്ലിക്കേറ്റ് മോഡ്: Prints two identical models simultaneously, doubling production efficiency.
• Dual Filament Printing Mode: Allows printing with two different types of filament, useful for support structures or combining material properties.
• Dual Color Printing Mode: Creates models with two distinct colors, enhancing aesthetic appeal.

3.3 Anti-Scrape Design

The extruder features an anti-scrape design that automatically scrapes off filament residuals when extruding. This mechanism helps prevent unwanted material deposits on your prints, ensuring cleaner and more precise dual-color or dual-material outputs.

3.4 Optimized Build Environment

The Creator Pro 2 offers flexibility for different filament types:

• For PLA printing, open the front door and remove the top cover to allow air circulation, which aids in cooling the print.
• For ABS printing, close the front door and the top cover to create a closed chamber. This helps maintain a stable temperature, reducing warping and improving print quality for ABS.

3.5 User Interface and Connectivity

• HD IPS Full-Color Touch Screen: Provides intuitive control and monitoring of print jobs.
• SD Card Printing: Easily transfer print files to the printer via an SD card for standalone operation.
• Rear Filament Spool Holders: Conveniently supports two spools of filament at the back of the printer, ensuring smooth feeding.
• സംയോജിത ഹാൻഡിൽ: Designed for easy and safe handling and moving of the machine.

4.1 അൺബോക്സിംഗും പ്ലേസ്മെന്റും

Carefully remove the printer from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or storage. Place the printer on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or excessive dust.

4.2 പവർ കണക്ഷൻ

Connect the provided power cable to the printer's power input and then to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting.

4.3 ഫിലമെന്റ് ലോഡിംഗ്

1. Mount the filament spool(s) onto the holders at the back of the printer.
2. Preheat the desired extruder(s) via the touchscreen menu.
3. Feed the filament into the extruder's intake hole until it is gripped by the gears.
4. Continue feeding until molten filament extrudes from the nozzle, indicating it is properly loaded and primed.

4.4 Build Plate Preparation and Leveling

Ensure the build plate is clean and free of debris. For optimal adhesion, apply a thin layer of adhesive (e.g., glue stick or hairspray) if necessary, depending on the filament type. Perform bed leveling as instructed by the printer's on-screen prompts or the FlashPrint software to ensure the correct distance between the nozzle and the build plate.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

5.1 Software: FlashPrint

The FLASHFORGE Creator Pro 2 utilizes FlashPrint software for preparing 3D models for printing (slicing). Install FlashPrint on your computer and import your 3D models (.STL, .OBJ, etc.). Within FlashPrint, you can configure print settings such as layer height, infill density, print speed, and select the desired printing mode (Mirror, Duplicate, Dual Filament, Dual Color).

5.2 Preparing and Starting a Print

1. After configuring your model in FlashPrint, slice the model and save the generated G-code file ഒരു SD കാർഡിലേക്ക്.
2. പ്രിന്ററിന്റെ SD കാർഡ് സ്ലോട്ടിലേക്ക് SD കാർഡ് ചേർക്കുക.
3. On the printer's touchscreen, navigate to the "Print" menu.
4. Select your desired G-code file പട്ടികയിൽ നിന്ന്.
5. Confirm the print settings and initiate the print. The printer will begin heating the nozzle(s) and build plate to the set temperatures before starting the print.

5.3 Monitoring and Removing Prints

Monitor the first few layers of your print to ensure proper adhesion and extrusion. The touchscreen provides real-time status updates. Once the print is complete and the build plate has cooled, carefully remove the printed object. The flexible steel plate design allows for easy removal by bending the plate, eliminating the need for scraping tools.
