TO LOAD MATERIAL
 Cut the end of your material to create a clean edge
 Use the touch screen to select [LOAD
 Follow the instructions on the screen
TO UNLOAD MATERIAL
 Use the touch screen to select [UNLOAD MATERIAL]
for either Model or Support Extruders
 Follow the instructions on the screen
 When the Performance Extruder has stopped
pushing the material out and the screen states that
the material is ready to be removed, gently pull the
material and rewind it onto the spool
If you are changing material spools, make sure to keep the spool tightly wound as you pull the material free of the guide
tube. If you do not, the material could unravel or tangle on the spool.
Be sure to keep your material case closed with the latch and always replace the desiccant bags when replacing the
material to maintain humidity
NOTE: When you are not using a material spool, make sure the free end of the material
is inserted into one of the storage slots of the spool. This allows you to nd the insertion
end of the material much faster and will prevent the spool from tangling. Spools not in
use should be stored in the original bag they came in. This prevents moisture uptake,
which is important for maintaining print quality.
