    Extruder moves towards hotbed. It should be only allow a piece of A4 paper to pass through. If not, make clockwise (or counterclockwise) rotation of the Wing Nuts beneath hotbed surface. Please refer to Fig.12. ③ Manually move hotbed or slide extruder to other vertexes of hotbed to make four corners of hotbed level evenly.
  • Page 18 Fig.13 Remark: ① When the printer is fully heated, check to make sure the filament is fully loaded. This also removes all of the previous material left in the printer from other prints. To do this, manually push filament through the heated nozzle until the new color begins coming out of the nozzle.
