Unattended installation

If you want to install FlashPrint silently, there are some extra steps you have to take.

Prerequisites

  • Zhejiang Flashforge 3D Technology software - Normally when you install FlashPrint, you get an extra popup to allow the installation of this device software. If you don’t install it, the unattended installation will fail.
