1. Heat composite extruder up to composite plastic printing temperature (or a bit higher). On the main screen

press the Composite extruder temperature button and set the required temperature (see point 1. from
COMPOSITE EXTRUDER CHANNEL CLEANING, p. 8.3).

2. Using the 2mm hex key from the Tool Kit loosen the side screws of the fan bracket. Remove the fan

bracket carefully, the fan bracket stays hang on wires.

3. Using the 2mm hex key from the Tool kit, loosen 2 set screws on the front of the extruder. Remove the

composite extruder by pulling it down. Be careful, composite extruder stays hot so it can melt wires of the
fan bracket.
