2. Choose
Load filament
option from the LCD menu and check if filament is extruded
properly.
3. Push the
acupuncture needle
into the nozzle again and remove it. Repeat these
steps a few times more. When the filament is extruded properly, the nozzle is clear.
None of the filament is going through the nozzle
If none of the filament is going through, then most likely, your hotend got clogged. In order to
fully clear it, please follow these instructions:
1. Heat up the nozzle to 250 °C for PLA or 270°C for ABS jams.
2. Wait 3-5 minutes and then go to
LCD Menu - Load filament.
If you cleared the clog
and the filament went through, simply lower the temperature to normal and re-do load
filament again.
3. If the filament loads successfully, you can resume printing.
If the filament can be loaded and unloaded without any problem, yet it still causes
trouble during the print, clean the inside of your hotend using the
Cold pull
technique
. Follow the guide at
.

.
CAUTION: Heated parts can cause severe burns
!
Be extra careful around
the hotend thermistor leads. You can break them off easily
1) Gain better access to the nozzle by moving the extruder axis as high as possible: Go
to
LCD Menu - Settings - Move Axis - Move Z
. Alternatively you can just hold down
the knob for a few seconds. Rotate the knob to set the height.
Preheat the nozzle to 285°C (LCD Menu - Settings - Temperature - Nozzle).
Heating
the nozzle is essential for this process!
Unload any loaded filament.
(optional) Unscrew the two screws on the print fan and the single screw securing the
fan shroud. Remove both parts to get better access to the nozzle.
2) Hold the heater block with a 17mm spanner or adjustable wrench.
3) Using the supplied pliers, or preferably a 7mm socket, unscrew the nozzle. Be
careful, the nozzle is still hot!
4) Make sure that the set temperatures (285°C) didn't change. Carefully screw the new
nozzle in and tighten it.
Don't forget to use a spanner to hold the heater block.
Screw back the print fan and the fan shroud, load filament and you are ready to print.
