Unloading Filament Using the LCD Screen:
If you just finished your printing or feeding the filament and want to withdraw the filament, at
this moment, the extruder is still over 200 degrees. First, push the filament in a little, and then
directly pull it out.
If you want to change another color filament, please do as follows:
1) Turn on the power switch. You will see the LCD panel shows:

2) Using the directional arrows to the right of the screen click the down arrow button to select
Preheat. Click the ok button in the middle. Then you will see:

3) Click the ok button. You will see:

This means the left extruder is heating up. When it reaches 230C, first push in the filament a
little bit until you see filament come out of the nozzle, then pull it out quickly. This will ensure
you have gotten rid of the filament inside the nozzle successfully.
