If the print looks like the picture above than congratulations your printer is completed!!
IMPORTANT info:
To keep the hot-end running as long as possible, let the filament run through a dust collector like a small piece of sponge. The filament picks quite a
lot of dust due to static charge or dirt from the factory. This will all enter the hot-end and partially stick in there and finally clog the nozzle. When this
happens the hot-end needs to be drilled out when hot from both sides. A tutorial for this is available on the forum on the website.
When changing different kind of filament it can be done in 2 ways:
1
Just cut the old part just above the extruder and keep running the extruder until you can feed the new filament.
2
Retract the current filament out of the extruder and then insert the new one.
To get the old filament out, retract 50 mm with a high velocity (1000mm/min). This is advised because fast retraction
o
reduces stringing to a minimum. The little strings of molten plastic are able to jam the inlet of the hot-end. When this
happens, you need to take out the hot-end and remove the plastic.
o
Then feed it again with a low velocity of 200mm/min.
