7) Heat Printbed – same as with the extruder – can be heated up in advance; otherwise it will heat up
automatically if specified in G-Code. Can be adjusted under printing;
8) Extrude and Retract – NOTE: it is recommended to check the flow of filament (and if it is not clogged)
before starting print to get good adhesion once the printing has started. Heat up the extruder to at least
170°C before using these buttons. The filament must flow out evenly, without interruptions to ensure
good start of print. Be careful when removing the extruded test-filament – though it cools rather quickly, it
may still be hot enough to burn skin. Use caution!
9) Fan – turn on or off the fan(s) at the printing head. Mostly used under PLA printing to improve the quality
of print. Can be adjusted as needed.
