Material

2.1 Unload the material

• Go to the menu ”MATERIAL/PRINTCORE” by rotating and then push-

ing the button 1 at the front side of the 3D print.

1 : Rotate button to select the menu - 2 : Push button to confirm

• Select ”Material 1” if you change the spool 1 and select ”Material 2” tochange the spool 2.

1 : Material spool 1 - 2 : Material spool 2

3D PRINT - Ultimaker Extended 3 CHAPTER 2. MATERIAL

• Go to the menu ”Change” or ”unload” (when you don’t wish to replace thespool).

• Wait for the print 1 or print 2 core to head up 1 and that the material

remove from the print 2 .

.

• Remove the material from the feeder holder 2 .

.

If you cannot remove the material from the feeder 1 . Push the feeder knob

though up 2 and at the same time, pull the material 3 .

.

• Remove the material from the spool holder 1 .

* For Spool 1 :

Pull the spool holder 2

.1 : spool material 1 - 2 : spool holder

* For Spool 2 :

Pull the spool holder 1 and then slide the spool material 2 .

.1 : Spool material 1 - 2 : Spool material 2 - 3 : Spool holder.

• Select the ”confirm” option on the display panel when you have removedthe material spool from the spool holder.

.1 : Confirm button

2.2 Load/Change the material

• First, choose your material spool (PLA, ABS, PLA...) on the shelf abovethe 3D print.See below, the combinations if you wish use the two materials.

.

Open the print head fan bracket and make sure type of the print cores is com-

patible with the material that you want use. 1 .

Begin to put the material 2 on the spool holder. If you need to change the printcore, see the Ultimaker print core manual.

.1 : spool holder - 2 : spool material 2.

Make sure that the spool material is in clockwise direction.

.

• Check the shape of the tip of the material. If it doesn’t look good, cut the tipof the material.

.

• Insert and push the end of the material 2 into the feeder 2. Push the feeder

knob through up 2 and at the same time, pull the material 1 .

.1 : Feeder enter - 2 : Feeder knob.

• Confirm by pushing the button at the front side of the 3D print when youhave inserted the materiel.

.

• When using Ultimaker material, Wait until the Ultimaker print detects thematerial and then select ”confirm”.

.

• When using non-Ultimaker material, material is not automatically de-tected. Rotate the button to select the material ”select Material” on the drop-list. Confirm by pushing the button.

.

• Wait for the print to load the material into the print core.

.

• Wait for the print to head up the print core.
