Alternative types of PLA

These PLA Alternatives require advanced knowledge of the 3D Printer. Please visit

www.wanhao3dprinter.com 

for details of filament types and parameters.

NOTE: 

Only use WANHAO Filament with your 3D Printer, using other filaments may 

damage your 3D Printer and may void your warranty. 

3.2 Inserting Filament:

1.

    With the printer initialised, press Tool 

→ 

Preheat

2. 

   Navigate to, and select Preheat PLA or Preheat ABS - depending on the material in use

3. 

   Wait for the 3D printer to automatically return to the home screen, after approximately 15-30

       seconds

4. 

   Check the temperature of the Extruder and plate on

       the LCD. When the temperatures are within a few

       degrees of the target, you are ready to insert the filament

NOTE: 

Preheat PLA/ABS will still be shown, even after

temperatures have been reached

5. 

    Carefully insert the included filament sample into the

        hole on the Extruder as shown

6.     

While holding the filament in place with one hand, press

        the Dial to enter the menu system

7.  

   Navigate to and select  Tool 

Move

        being pulled into the Extruder. Continue until a few centimetres have extruded out of the
        nozzle

.

9.

     Carefully clean the extruded filament off the Heated Print Bed and nozzle

WARNING: Extruder and Heated Print Bed will still be hot
