STEP THREE:

 
Wearing heat resistant gloves 
remove the hot Experimental 
Extruder from the 3D printer 
carriage and place into the 
Experimental Extruder Jig.

STEP FOUR:

 
Use the large side of one 
Nozzle Wrench to grasp the 
flats on the thermal core cone 
(

adjacent to the Nozzle

).

STEP TWO:

 
Attach the Experimental Extruder 
to the carriage of your MakerBot 
3D printer and run the  
Preheat function.

PRO TIPS:   

Some materials may cling to the 
Nozzle, to avoid this load and then 
unload MakerBot PLA filament to 
purge the Nozzle.

Once hot, you may want to scrape any 
caked filament off of the Nozzle using 
forceps or another tool.

CAUTION:   

Always wear heat resistant gloves  
and protective eyewear when 
handling a hot Nozzle.
