You can use the Tune menu to adjust fan speed, hotend temperature and flow during a print.
Note these settings are not permanent and they will be overridden when the printer reaches a
new gcode command.

The fan speed is on a scale from 0-255 with 255 being equal to 100%. Also the fan will not
operate below 80 since the power is too low.

You can easily change filament during a print. Simply go to “Tune > Change Filament”. This
command can also be sent by your host software using M600. When clicked the print will
pause, the extruder will raise and move out of the way and it will retract the filament. Then
slide in your new filament and push the knob.
Note: You can use this method to add multiple colors to your print by
changing the colors at certain layers. You can also add the M600
command at any point in your gcode file to trigger the filament change
command at specific spots in the print.

After the print finishes you can immediately pop it off (unless it’s very small in which case you may
want to let it cool for a few minutes).
If the first layer printed correctly you should see no curling at the edges and the print should be easy to
remove.
USING EXTREME CAUTION
take the supplied scraper and gently tap at the edges of the print.
We have found this tapping action is much safer and much easier to remove a model rather than pure
brute force and it is also better for the print bed. Look for corners of the model and tap them with the
scraper flat on the bed. After several taps the print should pop off the bed. If the print has a large
surface area on the print bed it may be harder to remove and you may have to slide the scraper below
the model.
Remember the scraper is very sharp and NEVER place
your hand behind the area you are scraping. Taking a
few extra seconds to remove the model is much better
than a trip to the hospital.
