Unloading Plastic Filament
To unload plastic filament from your Printer:

- Select the menu icon from the dashboard.
- Select the Materials tile from the menu options.
- Select the Unload Plastic tile to run the unload plastic routine.
- Press Next to continue, when prompted.
- Take hold of the cut plastic material and help direct it free from the plastic extruder.
- Press Stop on the printer's touchscreen when the plastic has been completely unloaded.
Note: The extruder may click loudly when the plastic is extracted all the way. This is normal.
- Press Next on the printer's touchscreen to continue with the routine.
- Press Load Plastic to load a different spool or Not Now to exit the routine.
