WARNING:
The head heats up to 240°C and then the device starts extruding a few millimeters of material. This prevents
a possible clogging of the material in the hotend.
• open the extruder by moving the lever to the left (counterclockwise),
•
firmly grasp the filament on the hotend, pull it out with one vigorous stroke and press OK button to confirm cleaning
the head.
Always store the filament in a dry and dark place. The filament may absorb humidity or be deformed when exposed to sun -
light. In both cases, the use of such a filament may cause difficulties or faults such as not adhering to the working table.
WARNING:
Do not remove the filament from the inside of the hotend without heating the hotend and opening extruder
lever! It may damage the hotend. Hotend should not remain heated, regardless of whether it is full of printing
material or empty. The hotend can be heated for a long time only in the process of print (during extruding of
heated printing material).
4.3. Changing filament during printing
The material on the spool may run out before the printout is finished. For quick replacement of filament spool or changing
the color of filament (in two color or multicolor prints), use filament change assistant. The current printing will be paused
without cancelling printing operation. Printing is restored after confirming and closing filament change assistant.
Before starting printing the system displays the amount of material required to complete a particular printing object.
Make sure that you have enough printing material.
1. Go to the printer’s menu (menu is recalled by pressing „ OK ” button during printing). Choose “ Filament Change ” and press
” OK ” to confirm.
Printing will be paused and all mechanisms will go to their safe points.
2. Open the extruder by moving its lever to the left.
3. Pull out the filament with one vigorous upstroke.
4. Place the new filament spool on the handle and pass its loose end through the cleaner and the tube (Bowden). Straight
-
en the tip of filament. Make an even cut on the tip if necessary.
5. Insert at least 5 centimeters of filament wire to the extruder.
6. Close the extruder by moving the lever to the right and press „
OK
” to confirm.
The printer will extrude a certain amount of filament for correct filling the printing head.
7. Remove the material leak from the head with the use of tweezers. Confirm completing the procedure by pressing “ OK ” button.
3DGence ONE printer will continue printing with the new material from the point, where the process was stopped for
changing filament. It is recommended that the filament should be replaced at the stage of printing the filling (for the pur -
pose of masking the transitions between different materials).
4.2. Filament removal
To remove filament from the extruder (to replace it or to clean the head):
1. Select Unload Filament from Prepare menu and follow instructions on printer’s LCD panel.
