Wait a few minutes for the extruded PLA
to cool, then pull it off the nozzle. Don’t
touch the nozzle; it may still be hot. You
can discard this extra filament. Don’t leave
plastic clinging to the extruder nozzle. This
can cause newly extruded plastic to stick to
the nozzle instead of the build platform.
NOTE: If you have problems or need to load the
MakerBot PLA Filament again, you can use the arrow
buttons to navigate through the LCD menus until
you find the Utilities menu. Press the M button to
select this menu. Use the arrow buttons to navigate
through the menu options until you find Filament
Options and select the menu. Use the arrow buttons
to navigate to Load Filament and select the option.
