sure the filament has been insert to hotend already.
Step 2: When nozzle temperature reached to the settings, choose “Prepare”>>”Move axis” >> “Control”>>”Set
Mix rate”>> “E1/E2/E3 percent” change this value, this value means extrusion percent of extruder 1/2/3., then
do “
Normalize and Apply ” to apply it.
Step 3: Choose Prepare>>Move Axis>> Extruder >>Move 10 mm >>Add this value, watch the extruder engine,
