Wait a few minutes for the extruded ABS
plastic to cool, then pull it away from the
nozzles. You can discard this extra plastic.
Don’t touch the nozzles; they may still be hot.
Don’t leave plastic clinging to the extruder
nozzles. This can cause newly extruded
plastic to stick to the nozzles instead of the
build platform.
NOTE: If you have problems or need to load
MakerBot Filament again, you can use the up and
down arrows to scroll through the top-level menu
on the LCD panel and use the M button to select
Utilities. Scroll to Change Filament and select it.
Then select Load Right or Load Left. You can use
these menus to return to the load scripts at any time.
