10.6 Unloading Filament
To unload filament, go to Maintain Printer > Filament > Unload Filament. Your printer will go through an
automated sequence of heating the head, purging the head, then reversing the filament back to the
extruder.
When the unload sequence is complete, you will see “Unload filament complete” on the LCD. Simply tug
the end of the filament free of the extruder (it will be lightly clamped in the Filament Monitoring section).
We recommend retaining the end of the filament to the spool with tape or by routing it through one of
the holes on the side of the spool.
10.7 Swapping Filament
10.7.1 Before a Print
If you are starting a print and need to change what filament is loaded in your printer, use the Print > Swap
Filament function to remove the old spool and load the new. This is basically a combination of the
Unload Filament and Load filament functions, with some helpful prompts mixed in. Simply follow the
onscreen prompts and use the instructions in section 10.5 to perform a filament swap.
10.7.2 During a Print
New to the F410 is a mid-print filament swap wizard. This is useful if:
 You notice you are running out of filament mid-print and do not want to wait for the filament
detection system to pause the print for you.
 You want to change materials mid-print (advanced users).
 You want to change colors mid-print (but use the same material).
Here is how to use this functionality:
1. During a print job, press the “Pause” button. Your printer will pause after a few seconds and the
print head will go to the back left corner.
2. Go to the Tweak menu.
3. Select Swap Filament.
4. The printer will unload the current filament, then prompt you to insert the new spool. Press OK
when you’ve loaded it in and are ready for the printer to load it into the print head.
5. The printer will then load the new filament into the print head. Once it’s done you can resume
the print.
10.8 Cleaning the Print Bed
NOTE: Only normal tap water should be used to clean your print bed. Other cleaners such as Windex,
rubbing alcohol, etc can leave residues that negatively impact part adhesion.
Wait for the bed to cool below 45
