4.5. START EXTRUSION AUTOMATICALLY (RECOMMENDED)

Automatic start gives the user the option to start the extruder automatically with
the current material and extrusion settings. This is the recommended process of
starting, since the extruder will not wait after the set points of the heaters has
been reached. It automatically starts extruding whenever the extruder is ready. will
be redirected to the status screen.

4.6. START EXTRUSION MANUALLY

Manual start gives the user the option to postpone the extrusion process until a
certain time limit has been reached. The time limit is set by user and has a range
between 1 and 10 minutes at maximum.
⚠
Caution: Manual starting is not recommended, since the quality of the
stationary material in the barrel degrades over time. It may also happen that the
material overheats and affects the material flow. The longer the material is on
temperature in the barrel the longer it takes to stabilize the flow afterwards.
Therefore this process is only recommended when cleaning the extruder of
residual material in the barrel with cleaning material like DevoClean. Use of this
functionality is at own risk! The manual start process starts with a warning
message, for users who are unknown to the manual start process.
To open the 'Main menu', press the button
once when the status screen is visible and

settings.
When choosing 'Start extrusion' a new
menu will open. The menu is called 'When
heating is done, start:' and has the options
'Automatically (recommended)' and
'Manually'.
