Loading the Filament
A.
When you wait for the temperature to rise, hang the filament over the filament holder.
B.
Press the extrusion clamp and insert the filaments along the extruder hole up to the nozzle. When the temperature hits the target value, a flow of
filaments can be seen at the nozzle, meaning that the filaments have been loaded.
For smoother printing, the
end of the filament should
be cut as shown above.
Replacing the filament:
1. When the printer is not under work:
A.
Heat the nozzle to above 185°C first, wait for the filaments inside the nozzle to soften, then press the extrusion handle and pull
out the filaments quickly to prevent them from getting stuck at the heat break;
B.
Replace the new filaments onto the rack frame and repeat the loading procedure above.
2. When the printer is working：
A.
Suspend printing first and, once the printer has stopped, press the extrusion handle to pull the filaments out quickly and prevent
them from getting stuck at the heat break;
B.
Replace the new filaments onto the rack, press the extrusion handle, insert the filaments through the extruder feed hole into the
nozzle, then push the filaments hard to squeeze out the residual filaments from the nozzle, and clean it up for printing.
