Unloading Material
Perform the following steps to unload material:
1. Ensure that the printer is stopped (idle) and is not building.
2. Select the Materials button from the Navigation Menu; a screen similar to
Figure 15 (page 119) will be displayed. The information displayed represents the current
configuration of your printer.
Caution:
If the printer remains idle for more than 72 hours, leaving material in the filament
tubes could result in a part quality issues due to wet filament. To prevent this:
• Unload filament and cut 1.2 meters of material from the material coil box
• Cut the filament approximately 5 centimeters from the end of the filament key.
Bend the filament 90 degrees to prevent filament from retracting into the key.
• When re-loading material, pull the end of the filament until approximately 1.2
meters of material are outside the material tube and cut the filament at this point.
