ONBOARD OPERATIONS

ﬁlament. Maintain pressure for another

ﬁve seconds and then let go.

7. Stop Extrusion

Aer a few moments, you should see

a thin string of plastic come out of the

extruder nozzle. The ﬁlament might

curl and then straighten; this is normal.

Press the M button to stop extrusion.

NOTE: Don’t be surprised if the plastic

that initially comes out of the nozzle is not

the color you expected. This is ﬁlament

le over from testing. Wait until you see

the color that you loaded come out of the

nozzle before you press the M button.

8. Reattach the Filament Guide Tube

Push the guide tube back into the

opening on the top of the extruder.

9. Remove the Extruded Plastic

Wait a few minutes for the extruded

plastic to cool, then pull it away from

the extruder nozzle. You can discard

this extra plastic.

CAUTION: Do not touch the nozzle; it

may still be hot.

Don’t leave plastic clinging to the

extruder nozzles. This can cause

newly-extruded plastic to stick to the

nozzles instead of the build plate.
