“EXTRUDER 100mm”
Extrude 100mm of filament. If the head is not hot, this function will ask you to start the heating or to abort (the
extrusion is blocked below 165°C for the safety of the extruder. If you want to unblock this limit or change it ,
refer to the Gcode M302 command and the corresponding parameter screen).
"RETRACT 50mm"
Launches a retraction of 50mm of filament. If the head is not hot, this function will ask you to start the heating
or to abort (the extrusion is blocked below 165°C for the safety of the extruder. If you want to unblock this limit
or change it , refer to the Gcode M302 command and the corresponding parameter screen).
"HEAD UNBLOCKING"
Starts the automatic printhead unclogging attempt procedure. Use this feature if your printhead is clogged at
the thermal barrier due to, for example, a long filament jam that created a clog. Follow the on-screen instructions
to complete this one. If this function does not overcome the problem, try to restart this function several times,
otherwise a change or disassembly of the head may be necessary.
“FILAMENT RELEASE”
Starts the attempt to automatically unblock the filament in the extruder. Use this function if after ejecting your
filament, it does not eject and remains stuck in the extruder. This can happen when a filament sits still in the
heating head for a long time, which will tend to "stick" it to the conduit.
“BED CALIBRATION”
Starts the semi-automatic print bed calibration procedure (see calibration chapter). Carefully follow the on-
screen instructions to make the calibration as accurate as possible. Bed calibration is extremely important in
order to have quality and reliable prints.
“HEATED CALIBRATION”
Initiates the calibration procedure for the printhead and bed heater (PID) process. The PID must be recalculated
for any change on the print head, or even for a change of environment, in order to keep the best possible
performance of the head and reduce the risk of extrusion blockages. This procedure is fully automatic and no
intervention on your part is required. Launch this procedure after any change of component of the head or of
the head itself. A head temperature that constantly varies and/or fails to stabilize is a sign of poor PID tuning.
Bed warming calibration may be necessary when changing beds or having difficulty stabilizing at a specific
temperature.
“FOAM/EMB POSITION”
Initiates the positioning of the head to be placed on the immobilization foam of the original packaging, in order
to transport the machine safely.
“SYSTEM INFO”
Find here the statistics of machine operating times and overall filament consumption, as well as version and
serial number information.
