8.3 Clean Out Filament Feeding Gear
8.4 Guide Tube Installation and Cleaning
Always keep the feeding gear free of clogging. Clogs can impact filament feeding and directly affect your 3D printed process.
Users should regularly clean the feeding gear once finished printing. They can use the following tools for feeding gear clean-

Refer 3.2 Print Nozzle and Filament Installation ③ for guide tube installation.
The white filament tube is expected to wear more than other printer components. Filament always encounters friction when
moving through the white filament tube. However, a damaged tube can increase this friction, and cause errors on the printer.
Also, debris can be carried to the print head, where it will burn. To avoid this, clear out debris from the filament guide tube by
removing both ends from the printer, putting a small piece of paper towel in the tube, and pushing the paper towel through, by
hand, with a piece of filament. Alternatively, the filament guide tube can be replaced.
