TIP Print head must
be heated to remove
/ change filament.
You need to heat up
to the corresponding
temperature to
remove a particular
kind of filament.
Example: If you have
been printing PET
and need to remove
it to change to PLA,
first heat up for the
PET (higher temp)
to remove it, then
change to the lower
printing temperature
for the PLA. You
usually do not need
to fully reach the
target temperature to
remove the filament.
TIP Printer hotend
temperature is
measured in the
metal heating
block. The actual
temperature of
melted filament in
the nozzle is about
10–20°C lower,
however, this is the
temperature that is
commonly shown on
the filament package
(print temperature,
usually a range).
Make sure you
add the difference
to the print head
temperature — for
example, if the
printing specification
for the material is
200°C, the print head
should be set at
about 215°C.
