Prepare Printer
- First clean the magnetic steel sheet. To do so pull it up on the two front edges and spray a few times with isopropyl alcohol on it.
- Wipe it up with a paper towel.
- Place back the steel sheet.
Change Filament
- First you will have to unload the current filament. To do so go to unload filament and then select PLA - 215/60.
- Wait until the nozzle and the heatbed have reached the set temperature. A loud noise will be heard.
- Press the knob and gently pull out the filament.
- You can find PLA filament above the printers. Please ask if you are unsure whether you can use a filament.
- Please make sure that you use PLA (type of filament)!
- Cut the tip of your filament (the one you want to use) at a 45-degree angle before inserting it into the printer.
- Before loading the filament, insert it by pushing it gently from above into the nozzle.
- To load the filament, go to Load filament.
- Push the filament gently until the printer starts pulling it.
- You will be asked whether the filament is extruding and with the correct color. Press Yes if everything is fine and No to extrude more filament.
- Remove the extruded filament from the nozzle and the steel sheet.
