Filament Detection
This video is a guide to the filament detection and how to unload and load filaments. Pliers are needed in this demonstration.
Filament Detect function allows the printer to detect when the filament runs out. Click OK. Setting-Filament-Unload. Use pliers to cut the filament first while the nozzle is heating up, then pull the rest out of the detector and wait for auto unloading.
Once the auto unloading begins, pull the filament aside to facilitate unloading.
Then load the filament. Click Load.
Note that Filament Detect is turned on by default.
Watch the video below. You’ll find it out!
