Zortrax M200/M300: Changing Filament

Select "Material" from the menu

Select "Unload Material"

Wait for extruder to heat up

When prompted press the knob (after printer has warmed up)

Firmly tug the material up out of the extruder

It may be necessary to pull somewhat harder than expected if the filament is stuck

Rotate the printer to the left to access the rear, where the printer spool is

Wind any excess filament onto the spool

Tuck the filament into the spool using the two little holes on the edge

Pull the spool off of the spool holder

Prepare the new filament by cutting an angle at the tip using the side cutters

Place the new spool on the spool holder with the label facing outwards

Feed the new filament through the PTFE tube up to the gears

Rotate the printer back around so you can see the menu screen

On the menu select "Material" then "Load the Material"

The extruder will begin to heat up again

Remove the PTFE tube from the plastic bracket at the top of the extruder by pulling lightly upwards

Pull the filament the rest of the way through the tube and guide it to the drive gear

When prompted, press the button and feed the filament into the extruder (this may take a few minutes while the extruder heats)

Once the filament is extruding click the button again to stop the process
