Install the PEI Build Plate
Note
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.
- Manually pull the platform seat inside the machine outward slightly to a suitable position.
- 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 seat.
- 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 seat, and lightly place the platform plate and attach it on the platform seat to complete the installation.
First Printing
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.
Click [Tools] — [Setting] — [AutoCalibration] and operate following the on- screen prompts.
- 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.
- 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.
- After calibrating the first point, please follow the on-screen prompts to continue the 9-polyaromatic Uog.

For specific operation, you can refer to the video. The link path is as follows:
Flashfire’s Official Website (www.flashforge.com) — Support- Video Center — select [Operation Videos] — [Adventurer 3 Pro2].
Filament Loading
- 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 is inserted into the feeding wheels!
- Put the spool of filament on the spool hoLder and close the filament cover.
Mind the loading direction of filament. Make sure it is clockwise as the picture shows.
- Tap [Filament].
- Tap [Load) and the extruder starts heating.
- 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.
- Loading is completed when there is filament coming out of the nozzle. Then tap [OK).
Model Printing
- Tap [Build].
- Choose the file path: Print from local memory card.
- Locate the model file in the model list, Tap on its right to start printing;
or tap the model file picture or file name to enter the model details page, and then tap to start printing.
- The extruder will heat up and the printer will start printing.
- After model printing finished, the printer will make a beep sound and pop up a prompt on the touch screen.
Model Removal
As shown in the picture, grasp the handles on both sides of the platform directly with both hands, and pull outwards to remove the build platform.
Notice
When printing completed, the extruder and build plate may still be hot. Please start operating after cooling down.
Please use the back side of the build plate when printing with PETG.
Please remove models after the platform has cooled down. If models are removed when the platform is not completely cooled down, bubbles will occur on the surface of the platform.
It is recommended to take the platform to the outside of the equipment for model removal, otherwise the model debris will remain in the equipment. Please keep the inside of the printer clean.
