Cut the end of your new material so the tip is
flat/round, and feed it into the filament drive.

After ensuring that your hot end is hot enough to
print with your current filament material, use the
manual controls in your software package to
"Retract" while pulling filament gently until it is
released from filament drive.
After placing the tip of the new material into the
filament drive, use the manual controls in
your software package to "Extrude"the filament until
you can see it extruding from the nozzle. This may
require gentle downward pressure.
If switching between filament material types (e.g.,
PLA to ABS), heat your extruder to the hottest
printing temperature of the two materials in order
to purge the old material and properly extrude the
new material.

* If unable to feed filament properly, then try cutting th
e
tip at an angle before feeding it into the filament drive.

*The M2 allows you to print with many different filament
materials; however, we recommend using non‐experimental
filament materials provided by MakerGear.
