HOW

TO

How

to

clean

the

nozzle?

Sometimes

the

filament

gets

stuck

at

the

feeder

motor

because

the

pulling

speed

is

not

fast

enough

when

you

unload

the

filament.

Here

is

the

solution:

1

Heat

the

nozzle

to

260,

make

the

residual

filament

in

the

nozzle

automatically

flow

out.

If

the

nozzle

is

still

blocked,

please

take

it

off

with

the

wrench

when

it

cools

down.

Caution:

Please

DO

NOT

remove

the

nozzle

frequently,

because

it

will

reduce

the

lifetime

of

PEEK
