molten filament for a while, and machine beeps again when it finishes
extruding. This function is frequently used when changing new material (See
section 6), and it can be also used to test whether the nozzle is working
properly
Withdraw : Withdraws the material from the extrusion head. This function is
used when the material runs out, or the nozzle needs to be changed. Click this
button, the print head is heated, and when the temperature reached 260°C, the
printer beeps, then you can gently pull out the material. If the material gets
stuck, pull it out by hand.
New Spool: This function is used when a new spool of material is installed on
the printer, so the printer can keep track of how much material has been used,
and warn you if you don’t have enough material left to print your model
before
the printing starts. Click this button and enter the value of how many grams of
material you have on the current spool. If it is a new spool, the value should be
set to 700 grams. You can also specify whether the material you are printing
with is ABS or PLA.

TIP: An empty spool weighs about 280 grams. If you install a partially used
spool, you can weigh it first, and subtract 280 grams from the weight. This
gives you the value which you can enter into the material text box.
Status : Displays the temperature values of nozzle and platform.
Stop All : Stops heating and all the movements of the printer. Once you click
this button, the current print job is cancelled. You CANNOT resume a print job
once the printer has been stopped. After you use the “Stop All” option, you
need to re-initialize the printer before any other operations.
