Creator 3 Pro is equipped with two independent extruders. It can be used for printing PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, PC,
HIPS and PVA filaments. Creator 3 Pro's left extruder print support filaments by default.
Please refer to the table below for the combination of independent dual-extruder extrusion filaments.
Note: Creator 3 Pro can print nylon carbon fiber and nylon glass fiber. However, because the nozzle is not
made of high-strength material, it will cause wear on the nozzle. Therefore it is estimated that the nozzle
needs to be replaced when printing one roll of 1kg nylon carbon fiber filaments. This situation can be
switched to high-strength nozzle printing.
Storage of PVA/PA filaments
PVA filaments are water-soluble and have strong water absorption. Filaments will soften when absorbing
water, which will easily lead to printing failure. PVA filaments should be placed in a drying box when printing.
PA/PVA storage needs to be sealed and dried.
For best results, each filament requires different settings.
If a model is prepared using FlashPrint, these settings will automatically be set correctly if the correct extruder
and filament are selected.
Adaptability of filament parameters
Different filament brands correspond to different filament characteristics, so it is recommended to use the
expert mode to fine-tune the parameters to ensure better printing quality when using Creator 3 Pro.
• Thickening the first layer height, and increasing the amount of the first layer filament output is conducive to
the adhesion of the first layer;
• Please set the raft temperature at 45℃ when printing small models with PLA (or ambient temperature is higher
than 25℃);
• Please set the raft temperature at 70℃ when printing large models with PLA (or ambient temperature is lower
than 10℃);
• When using PVA support, it is recommended that the support speed be reduced to 40%.
For all materials supported by Creator 3 Pro, it is recommended to apply a thin layer of glue (using the glue
stick in the accessory box) on the build plate before starting printing, which will ensure that the finished
printing work adheres well to the build plate.
