Suggestions on Nozzle Usage

When switching to a different material with the same nozzle, if the new material's
•
printing temperature is lower, adjust the setting to a higher temperature for
filament extrusion to purge old filament from the nozzle.
When switching to a different material with a higher printing temperature, just

load the new filament.
To clean residual filament inside the nozzle, you can perform multiple filaments
•
loading or manually clear any remaining filament using the unclogging pin tool.
