FlashForge USA is disrupting 3D printing market by introducing easy-to-use and reliable 3D printers. Our products cater to many verticals - commercial (industrial, engineering, medical, architectural, signage and advertisement), educational, and hobbyists. More information..
I don't have firsthand experience with FlashForge printers, but I understand that they can work with gcode and speak a flavor of Marlin in firmware. Are you able to interact with the printer directly using a serial terminal (e.g. OctoPrint, Pronterface)?
Had to look up the printer and it looks like the format that files sent to the stock unit are not in the available list of 'flavours'. So out the box it looks like Prusa Slicer/Slic3r and derivatives dont support the needs of the printer.
I'm understanding that the gcode to actually move & print is the same. The hardware settings may not come into it at all. Setting your printer g-code flavor to RepRap is supposed to avoid adding the M20x hardware settings to gcode.
By the way, I would not put the temperature settings in the user defined startup gcode for the printer. In this way the printer settings would have to be specific for every filament material. In the case of the Prusa Slicer there is a special user defined gcode setting tab.

After a lot of effort and with help of someone on Facebook flashforge group I managed to find out the problem. (At least in my case). Always i have checked the Verbose G-code and Label object in output file section. I don't know if is same for you but you can try to uncheck and export gcode without comments. That's work's for me. I can send you the config file if you wish. As well i have nervous about Z travel speed because is to high value ( is the same as xy travel speed) but I take the risk and I tried Hopefully works( maybe firmware take care for max travel speed.)
Ive been using flashprint for a long while but after getting a new printer that slicer just wansnt cutting it anymore. So i dowloaded cura. But I can not find my printer in the program. I can not find my other one either a flashforge adventurer 3. Doi have to make a custom one because I looked it up on youtube and google and found lots of profiles and tips for my printer on cura so people are using it here
The 4.x versions of Cura have a plugin in the marketplace for Flashforge printers. I really don't know anything about it but I followed the link for "Ronoaldo Consulting" to THIS GITHUB PAGE. There is also THIS PAGE.
Hi there, Ive been using astroprint with all my i3 printers (different manufacturers), but now I own a FF Adventurer 3, and Im wondering if someone has a good slicer settings for sharing (and maybe printer settings as well as gcode for start/end).
Thanks in advance!
No, Im not using Astroprint as a direct printer connection (no AstroBox). I use astroprint as a Management system of all my models (and some printers connected with octoprint).
But I just want to know if someone as the slicer profile for the Adventurer 3 so I can do the slicing like I do for all my other 3d printers.
I have owned the Flashforge Finder 3D printer since June 2017 and am very impressed with the print quality however almost every object that I have printed in PLA has warped. Here are the adhesion methods I have tried:
It is at least very professional looking, with a much more intentional design than much of the competition. The door has a magnetic latch as all doors of this type should. Not pictured here is the clear lid that sits on top to enclose the build chamber. The lid not only maintains a warm printing environment but also significantly reduces the noise of the printer. The only setup required is levelling the bed.
I have a flashforge inventor 3d printer and looking for flashprint software for it. All I can find is deb file. I have tried alien to convert it but keeps failing. Any help with locating source code would be great.
I've just reinstalled octoprint on my raspberry pi (using octopi) and then restored my settings through the backup/restore menu. It restored all of my plugins and the printer profile but for some reason, I can't connect to my printer anymore. I have my baud rate set to 115200 and the serial port set to /dev/ttyprintk which is what I used last time. At first it would give a permission error when accessing that port which I solved by changing the permissions through ssh.
At uni, we have a number of Flashforge Creator Pro 3D printers. I can easily create stl files from my iPad on Shapr to be printed. But currently I have to save the STL to my laptop, open the Flashforge app on there and lay it out with the settings etc.
All features just run in a Browser. There is even an app for a mobile phone/iPad.
OctoPrint.org OctoPrint.orgOctoPrint is the snappy web interface for your 3D printer that allows you to control and monitor all aspects of your printer and print jobs, right from your browser.
I have a sketchup file that a student created as a model for a presentation we are giving in December. The team wants to print it on a Flashforge Dreamer printer. We have tried to export it out of sketchup as a .obj file and put in to meshmixer to prepare for print and when we do we get a flat picture. When we export it as a .obj file into the flashforge printer software, flashprint, the file is to small to print. In sketchup the student created the model that should be 4" cubed but when exported it ends up looking like 1 cm cubed I am attaching the sketcup model file for reference. Let me know if it would be helpful as well.

Polar 3D is the first and only Polar Printer company on the market. Out mission is to inspire and empower students and educators through the medium of 3D printing. Our industry leading Polar Cloud is the future of cloud-enabled 3D printing, allowing our users to print from anywhere. By creating a reliable, affordable, and easy to use 3D printer, along with our STEAMtrax curriculum, we hope to prepare children for a future that thinks in 3D.
We did a lot of research on 3D printers in 2021 because we would be investing in a new set. We have previously owned or worked with Ender, Afinia, Makerbot, and Zortrax 3D Printers. Our criteria were quiet, enclosed, and plug-and-play 3D Printers that are safe for the kids to be around. For our new ones, we landed on FlashForge. We got the Adventurer 3 Pro model on Black Friday 2021. We have four Adventurer 3 Pros, two of the larger Adventurer 4 Lights, and just added in 2023, 5M models (see more on that below). They all come fully built and ready to go, which was also important to us! **I will note below 30 minutes of unbox and setup time for 5M models.
