Priming the Nozzle(s)
It is highly recommended that you prime the nozzle(s) before every print. Priming the nozzles before a
print can help identify some potential issues such as clogged nozzles and/or feeding issues. Also priming
the nozzle after loading a new filament is a good idea, in the event that the filament did not feed well
into the nozzle during the loading process.
Steps

1.
Pre-heat the nozzle you want to prime (if
the nozzle is not already pre-heated)
2.
Once the nozzle reaches the target
temperature, select Filament Control.
NOTE
- Feeder will not operate under
175°C.
3.
Select the nozzle you will be priming.
4.
Select PRIME.
5.
A good prime will result in filament that
looks straight, smooth and consistent.
A bad prime will result in the filament
coiling up at the nozzle tip, bubbling up
and/or not flowing consistently, or at all.
