Automatic Operation:

The FLASHFORGE Finder is a high-quality 3D printer that provides a great learning experience in 3D printing. It automatically allows you to imports STL files, orients the part, slices the file, generates support structures (if necessary), and creates a precise deposition path to build your PLA model. Multiple models can be packed within the build envelope to maximize efficiency.
Finder features an intelligent assisted leveling system, that has an. intuitive calibration detection system to assist leveling. You are directed to tighten or loosen leveling screws until a beeper barely sounds, then it detects the distance between nozzle and build plate to verify whether your leveling is at the right position. Once the first location is leveled, you’re directed to next two screw locations accordingly with same operation. In this whole process, you’re well instructed with clear messages on the touchscreen display.
Finder sports a 3.5-inch HD IPS touchscreen right at the top of the printer with big, easy to understand controls. Only 4 taps to start your print, no need to hook it up to your computer!
Excellent and innovative filament management. The filament management on the Finder is a cartridge housing for 1.75mm Flashforge PLA filament. It is able to detect when the filament is running out and alerts you to load new filament. This feature works with Finder PLA filament and can be turned off when used with third-party filaments.
Slide-in build plate makes for easier 3D print removal. Slide-in build plate allows you to draw it out of the printer and then remove the finished 3D prints more easily.
