A.
The head warms up to the material operating temperature
(Automatic - based on SmartSpool data). This step also sets the
oven temperature to the correct value for the material being
loaded.
B.
The canister drive motor starts to push the filament to the liquefier
tips.
Note: For some materials (i.e., SR20) the order of steps A and B
are reversed.
C.
When the filament reaches the head (takes 2 to 4 minutes), it enters
the liquefier tip, and the tip purges a small amount of material.
D.
A successful load is indicated by a steady green LED. A complete
load and purge cycle should take less than five minutes.

Canister Auto Change-over

Note: Included as part of the 4-bay system option. Not
available with standard 2-bay system.
1.
Auto Changeover allows you to leave a long part build unattended.
2.
When an active canister becomes empty:
A.
The system is paused and the canister drive automatically
withdraws residual material from the system.
B.
The full canister is pre-loaded, and then material is loaded to the
head. The build job is automatically resumed.
Note: If the material to be loaded is not the same as the
material it is replacing, a material mis-match load error will
occur. The auto changeover will not occur and the system will
enter Pause mode.
