LOADING MAKERBOT PLA FILAMENT CONTINUED

Wait a few minutes for the extruded PLA

to cool, then pull it o the nozzle. You can

discard this extra ﬁlament. Don’t touch the

nozzle; it may still be hot.

Don’t leave plastic clinging to the extruder

nozzle. This can cause newly extruded

plastic to stick to the nozzle instead of the

build platform.

Remove the Extruded PLA
