Unloading Filament - Tripodmaker User Manual

5. Feed the filament in the nylon tube. Keep
track where the filament is inside the tube and
feed it until you are nearly at the end of the
tube.
6. An additional length of about 5 cm to 7 cm
needs to be pushed inside the nozzle. This
often requires some wiggling of the tube to get
the filament deep enough in the hot-end.
7. As the nozzle of the hot-end is hot, you
should be able to push out some plastic by
feeding the filament manually. The filament
color can differ from your filament spool, as a
residue can be left behind from the previous
(test) print.
8. Once some plastic oozed out, lock the lever
in its down position.
