Guidance on Changing Filament for Your 3D Printer

Changing filament in your printer is an essential task that can be done quickly and efficiently. Here are the steps to follow:

Steps Involved:

1. Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure that your workspace is clean and free from any debris.
2. Warm Up the Printer: Before changing filament, it's important to warm up your printer. This helps in making the process smoother since the hot end will already be at a good temperature for filament extrusion.
• If you're switching between different types of filament (e.g., ABS and PLA), it's crucial to clean out the hotend thoroughly. Residues from one type might affect prints with another.
3. Prepare the New Filament: Cut a few inches off the end of the new filament spool, then gently pull the filament through your extruder gear until it comes out smoothly and without any jams.
