Pict. 9 - Loading the filament into the extruder

Always check if the filament is flowing from the nozzle!

If you change the

filament for a different one, do not forget to completely remove the old filament
before printing by extruding the filament from

LCD Menu - Settings - Move axis -

Extruder

until the color is completely changed.

If your filament is running out during a print, you can easily change it for a new spool. Just go
to the LCD menu, select

Tune

submenu and press

Change filament

. The printer will pause,

the print head will go out of the print area, unload the old filament, and the LCD will guide
you on what to do. You can even insert filament of a different color and make your prints
more colorful. Check out chapter

10.6 Printing in color with ColorPrint

to find out how to

make more intricate color models.

Read chapter about our new

12.3 Filament sensor

and its functions.

6.2.8.1 Unloading the filament

This procedure is similar to the loading operation.

Preheat

the nozzle for material you used

last time (pre-assembled printers are shipped with PLA). Wait for the temperatures to
stabilize and use the

Unload filament

option from the menu.
