6.5. First extrusion
To perform the first extrusion proceed as described:
1. Make sure the hose is correctly tightened to the pipe of the machine and is not connected to the extruder on
the other side. (Fig 6.5 a)
2. Check that the material is present inside the machine with the inspection window.
Remember to close the inspection window. (Fig. 6.5 b)
If the material is to be loaded follow the procedure displayed in paragraph 6.4 “Loading the material”
3. Turn OFF the 3D printer connected to the machine in case there is one.
4. Turn ON the machine using the green button on the global switch of the machine. (Fig. 6.5 c)
5. Wait until the material is coming out of the hose with a consistent flow. (Fig. 6.5 d)
After a good extrusion you can turn OFF the extrusion unit using the relative ON/OFF button. (see 5.2 “User
Interface)
6. Clean the excess of the material extruded. (Fig. 6.5 e)
7. Tighten the hose with the extruder (Fig. 6.5 f )
Make sure to check the threads are clean before proceeding.
