Prepare Printer

  1. 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.
  2. Wipe it up with a paper towel.
  3. Place back the steel sheet.

Change Filament

  1. First you will have to unload the current filament. To do so go to unload filament and then select PLA - 215/60.
  2. Wait until the nozzle and the heatbed have reached the set temperature. A loud noise will be heard.
  3. Press the knob and gently pull out the filament.
  4. You can find PLA filament above the printers. Please ask if you are unsure whether you can use a filament.
  5. Please make sure that you use PLA (type of filament)!
  6. Cut the tip of your filament (the one you want to use) at a 45-degree angle before inserting it into the printer.
  7. Before loading the filament, insert it by pushing it gently from above into the nozzle.
  8. To load the filament, go to Load filament.
  9. Push the filament gently until the printer starts pulling it.
  10. 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.
  11. Remove the extruded filament from the nozzle and the steel sheet.
