NOTE: A small amount of filament may be
remaining in the extruder. The start of your
next object may have some of this filament
color until it transitions over to your
filament color. Allow replacement filament
to fully extrude before beginning next
object to ensure consistent color.
5. If filament cannot be easily pulled out of
the extruder, tap the return arrow. Tap
"Setup" then tap "Preheat". Select
maximum temperature and allow 15
minutes to heat. After 15 minutes of
heating, tap the "Arrow" button and repeat
steps 1 through 5 above.
NOTE: After the filament is pulled out from
the extruder, filament may be visible at the
extruder tip. The filament debris remaining
should be removed using the unclog tool
to prevent clogging. To remove the
remaining filament insert the unclog tool's
point into the extruder intake (top); if any
filament is present, it will exit from the
extruder tip.
6. See "Filament Installation" instructions on
page 25 to install replacement filament
spool.
