Procedure
Follow the steps below to change the filament of the 3D printer to a new type
- Heat the nozzle up to the printing temperature of the material in the machine
- Push the knob on the display
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Temperature entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Nozzle entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right until the correct temperature is displayed and push the knob
- Wait until the nozzle temperature reaches the temperature you set
- Retract the extruder by 100mm
- Push the knob on the display
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Motion entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Move Axis entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Extruder entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Move 10mm entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the left until it reaches -100 and push the knob
- Wait for the extruder motor to stop turning
- Push up on the lever of the extruder and pull the remaining filament out of the tube
- Wrap the free end of the filament around the spool and put it away
- Set the hot-end temperature to the printing temperature of the new material
- Push the knob on the display
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Temperature entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Nozzle entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right until the correct temperature is displayed and push the knob
- Verify that the end of the new filament is clean
- If it is not, use the cutters to cut a small section off of the end to get a clean end
If you cut the filament at an angle it will be easier to push into the extruder
- Put the new spool on the machine
- Push up on the lever of the extruder and push the end of the new filament into the tube
- Hold the lever of the extruder up and push the filament in until it stops
- Verify that the hot-end temperature is at the correct temperature
- Extend the extruder until you see material come out of the end of the nozzle
- Push the knob on the display
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Motion entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Move Axis entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Extruder entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Move 10mm entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right until it reaches +50
- Wait for the extruder motor to stop turning
- If new filament hasn't started coming out of the nozzle then turn the knob to the right until it does
- Press the knob
- Set the hot-end temperature to 0
- Turn the knob to the left to scroll up to the Move Axis entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the left to scroll up to the Motion entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the left to scroll up to the Main entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Temperature entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the right to scroll down to the Nozzle entry and push the knob
- Turn the knob to the left until the temperature reads 0 and push the knob
After changing the filament you can run your design or turn off the machine
