3D Printer/Prusa MINI

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 “Filament” and then “Unload Filament”.
2. After a while the printer will start unloading the filament. Half of the filament which is in the tube will be ejected by the printer. Please pull out the remaining filament gently.
3. You can find PLA filament above the printers. Please ask if you are unsure whether you can use a filament.
4. Please make sure that you use PLA (type of filament)!
5. Cut the tip of your filament (the one you want to use) at a 45-degree angle before inserting it into the printer.
6. Before loading the filament, insert it by pushing it gently trough the tube (approximately half of it) until you feel resistance.
7. To load the filament, go to “Filament”, “Load Filament” and then select “PLA 215/60”.
8. Press “CONTINUE” and push the filament gently until the printer starts pulling it.
9. 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. If you press on “RETRY” the printer will unload the filament and you will have to repeat the steps 2-8.
10. Remove the extruded filament from the nozzle and the steel sheet.
