When print PLA, set the target nozzle temperature about 180-210

. When the temp is stable, 

control  the  extruder  filament  feeding  on  LCD  screen  (“Move  axis”),  feed  until  there  is  molten 
material flowing from the nozzle. 
Observe the nozzle, if there is no filament stuck and the filament is coming out smoothly, then 
stop filament feeding, clear the nozzle with tweezers. See picture (3-19).
