1. In OctoPrimnt, heat your extruder to the appropriate temperature in the
“Temperature” tab. If switching between lament materials (e.g., PLA
to ABS), heat your extruder to the hotter of the two materials’ printing
temperatures in order to purge the old material and properly extrude the
new material.
2. In the “Control” tab, click “Retract” while pulling gently on the old lament
until it is released from the lament drive.
3. Cut the end of your new material so the tip is at, and feed it into the
lament drive. While applying gentle downward pressure, click “Extrude”
until you can see the lament extruding from the nozzle.
If you are unable to feed lament properly, try cutting the tip at an
angle.

After you’re connected to the printer, proceed to OctoPrint’s Quick Check,
which will help you load your lament and ensure that the bed of your
machine stayed level during shipping. Once you complete the Quick Check,
your machine will be ready to print. You will not have to go through the
setup process again unless you change networks or reset your printer.
Step 3: OctoPrint will inform you that you are not connected to the internet.
Click “Wireless Conguration,” then select your home network and enter
your home network’s password. Connecting may take a few minutes. If
OctoPrint continues to say you are not connected to the internet, refresh the
page.
