message will be displayed:
3. Press down the spring clamp (8) on the
left side of the extruder and carefully pull
thefilament out.
4. Press the return arrow when the filament has
all been pulled out.
5. Lift out the filament cartridge and coil up theold filament. Spools of unused
filament can be stored in plastic bags.
6. Select the filament spool that you wish to use and thread the filament through
the filament outlet (3), place the filament spool into the cartridge and re-insert
thecartridge into the printer.
7. Feed the filament through the filament guide tube.
8. Press Load to heat up the extruder. When the printer beeps, press down
thespring clamp and feed the filament through the filament intake (6).
9. When the filament is extruded steadily, release the spring clamp, press the return
arrow and return to the main menu.

Thefirst print
1. Install theFlashPrint software on your computer. Click on
Print and complete thenecessary settings in thedialogue
pop-up which appears. Click on More Options for further
setup settings. Click on OK to create a .g file.

Important considerations
1. Make sure that thebuild platform has been levelled as instructed in theSettings
section above before printing.
2. Make sure that thefilament has been loaded as instructed in theFilament–Loading
section above before printing.
3. Make sure that all theold filament has been fed out of theextruder before
beginning to print with new filament.
4. Never leave theprinter unattended while it is operating.
5. Remove the3D model with asuitable tool to avoid damaging themodel or
thebuild platform.
Tips and tricks
• If you have problems with your model coming loose and you have checked that it
isn’t because print bed level is calibrated incorrectly, you can try using aglue stick
and coat theprint bed before printing. Themodel will stick better and your printing
will be more successful since there will be less chance of it coming loose.
• You can also use aglue stick or blue masking tape directly on theglass surface of
theprint bed instead of using abuild sheet. Using aglue stick is good for ensuring
that your model has better adhesion during printing, especially if it has anarrow
base, e.g. models with small feet. By using aglue stick you’ll minimise therisk that
your model comes loose during printing.
• By selecting Raft in thesoftware before printing,
theprinter will build abase onto which themodel is
built. This base is then easily broken off once printing
is complete. TheRaft increases thecontact surface
against theprint bed and thus eliminates theproblem of
themodel coming loose during printing.
