Withdraw
To take out the filament inserted in the extruder unit with
the preset temperature.
Click the Withdraw icon. The up arrow on the button will
start moving upwards, indicating the extruder is heating up.
The extruder will start pushing the filament out once the
temperature reaches the melting temperature with a beep.
You now can remove the filament from the tip of the
extruder.
Extrude
To load the filament into the extruder unit with the preset
temperature.
Click the Extrude icon. The down arrow on the button will
start moving downwards, indicating the extruder is heating
up. Once the extruder temperature reaches the filament’s
melting point, the machine will give off a beep, and you
can push the filament into the extruder and the extruder
will heat up the filament, and extrude through the nozzle.
If the machine works properly, you will find an evenly
extruded string of filament coming out of the nozzle,
without bubbles or tangling as the extrusion goes on.
Stop
To stop the printer in the middle of an extruding or
withdrawing process.
