To replace a Hot End first turn off the machine and disconnect from your computer. Make sure the Hot End
is cool. Unscrew the Hot End Clamp access bolt using the 2.5mm Hex Key. After the front of the clamp is
off use the hex key to pop the Hot End out of the groove mount slot. Disconnect the Thermister and Heater
Wires (the purple-clear and orange-green wires). Take great care to disconnect them gently. Only apply
pressure on the black connector bits themselves. The connectors are easily damaged. Set the used Hot
End aside. Slide the new Hot End into the mount with the wires facing left. Reconnect the connectors
carefully. Screw the front clamp back on. You have just installed a new Hot End!
