SETUP

3.3.2 Inserting Filament

1.  On the Main Screen, select Quick Menu   Change Filament   Add Filament

2.  Select the desired type of Filament to be added. The Extruder will automatically be raised 

and your Printer will begin heating the Extruder to the correct temperature. When the 

temperatures are within a few degrees of the target, you are ready to insert the filament

3.  Place the included filament onto the Spool holder. Carefully insert the end of the filament into 

the hole on the Extruder. The Extruder will begin to slowly pull the filament in. Once filament 

begins extruding, press Back to stop

4.  Carefully remove the extruded filament from the Nozzle Head and ensure the Print Bed is 

clean

WARNING: Extruder and Heated Print Bed will still be hot 

3.3.3 Removing Filament

1.  On the Main Screen, select Quick Menu   

Change Filament   Remove Filament

2.  Select the desired type of Filament to be removed. The Extruder will automatically be raised 

and your Printer will begin heating the Extruder to the correct temperature

3.  Once the Extruder reaches the correct temperature, the filament will begin retracting from 

the Extruder. Gently pull the filament up until it is released and press Back to stop

NOTE: Trim of the end of the retracted filament prior to reinserting into the Extruder to prevent 

clogging the Printer Nozzle.

3.3.4 Storage

Both PLA and ABS filaments are sensitive to moisture. If stored in a humid environment, the quality 

of the filament can deteriorate, with a tendency to bubble and spurt from the nozzle tip. This will 

affect print quality, so when storing PLA or ABS for an extended period of time, follow these tips.

•  Store in a sealed, air tight bag/container. We recommend a vacuum seal bag

•  Store with a silica gel (moisture absorber) pack. One is included with each filament spool
