5.7. The extrude menu
»
Heat up the extruder to insert the filament into it.
»
Take the end of the filament out of the securing hole on the Filament spool.
»
Cut the end of the filament so the filament is straight and has no damage, bends, kinks or melted parts.
»
Remove the filament guide tube from the insert hole on the top of the extruder.
»
Insert the end of the filament from the spool UP into the filament guide tube holder, then into the filament guide
tube. Pass the filament through the tube until it protrudes from the extruder side of the tube.
»
Push the filament into the top of the extruder hole.
»
Select the Extrude menu on the Home screen.
• Before extruding, make sure the head is next to the build plate, not pressed into the plate or directly above it.
»
To extrude filament from the print head, use the down arrow on the touch screen.
»
Press and hold the button to keep extruding filament from of the head.
»
Automatic filament feed can also be performed by pressing the Load button on the bottom bar.
By pressing the button once, the head automatically extrudes some filament.
»
Filament loading is successful when the melted filament flows through the nozzle evenly and vertically.
Caution! The freshly spilled melted filament is hot. Avoid contact with spilled filaments or other flammable materials
in the nearby.
5.8. Unloading the filament
• Never remove the filament from the extruder if the extruder is cold! Always preheat the extruder before removing
or changing filaments. Removing the filament from a cold extruder might damage the extruder!
»
You don’t have to remove the filament between prints.
»
Heat the extruder as described above.
»
Make sure the head is next to the build plate, not pressed into the plate or directly above.
»
When the extruder reaches the temperature required for the filament, press the down arrow,
then the up arrow.
»
Automatic filament unloading can also be performed by pressing the Unload button.
»
When the gears start to retract the filament, you can safely pull out the rest of the filament from the guide tube
and connect the end of the filament to the spool for safekeeping. Now you are ready to load some new filament.
