b) Inserting the filament via the printer menu
Before inserting, removing or changing the filament, the corresponding extruder must be heated up so that the filament can be inserted into or
removed from the extruder cleanly.
Do not touch the hot extruders when inserting, removing or changing the filament! Danger of burns!
Always wait for the extruder temperature to be reached at filament change and let the extruder heat for approx. another
minute.
When heating, there may be slight development of smoke or steam. This is normal. Please ensure the corresponding ven-
tilation.
Left extruder (extruder 0)
Push
OK
(2) from the main menu.
Use the direction buttons (1) to select "
Extruder
".
Push
OK
.
Use the direction buttons to navigate to "
Load Filament
".
Push
OK
.
Important! The menu item "
Active Extruder
" must show "
0
". Only
then is the left extruder chosen as the active one.
The printer will now automatically heat up the active extruder (after
activation, this always is extruder 0, i.e. the left one). When it has
reached the pre-set target temperature, the filament will be pulled in.
The process is automatically ended after some time and the extruder
heater is switched off.
Right extruder (extruder 1)
The path described below for inserting the filament is an alternative to the preceding path. Of course, you can insert the filament in
both extruders either way.
Push
OK
from the main menu.
Use the direction buttons to select "
Extruder
".
