4.6 Filament replacement notes
1) While printing a model, if the filament is close to running out, please follow these steps for reloading filament:
a: Click “Option” at the printing menu, and then click the “Pause” icon on the A5 screen. The X axis will then go to the
home position.
b: Next, click the “More” icon and select “CHANGE” , then click “OUT” to eject the filament out and remove the spool
after the filament is ejected.
c: Install a new roll of filament, then click the “IN” icon until feeding is completed. Once the filament reaches the
nozzle, as small amount of plastic should start to extrude from the nozzle, in order to ensure the nozzle is primed for
printing. If this does not occur, extrude plastic manually until the nozzle is primed.
d: Click the “Back” button twice to enter into the model printing mode, then click the “RESUME” button to resume
printing.
2) When replacing filament, please ensure the nozzle has been preheated to operating temperature first, before
performing the filament change.
Please do not pull it out violently, otherwise it will cause severe damage to the
nozzle and extruder assembly.
