Tools:

① 2mm hex wrench


1. Go to the “Utilities” menu on the screen. Then, from the filament loader page, select the “Unload” button with the proper temperature set for the loaded filament, and wait until the nozzle heats up to the set temperature.


2. Wait until the filament is fully unloaded, then pull out the filament.

Note: If you have filament loaded in the other nozzle, please follow the same steps.


3. Press the top of the metal quick connector (with two fingers) to remove the guide tube from both the extruder and filament compartment.


4. Use a 2 mm hex wrench to remove the three screws (shown below in red) retaining the filament compartment cover. You should now be able to gently lift the cover away from the filament compartment.


5. Locate the filament sensor and carefully remove its connector, then use a 2mm hex wrench to remove the screws retaining the sensor to the frame.


6. Prepare the new run-out sensor board by orienting it with the connector facing the front of the machine.

Then use a 2mm hex wrench to install the retaining screw.


7. Reconnect the run-out sensor cable and route the cable underneath the optical sensor.


8. Reinstall the three filament compartment retaining screws, then reinstall the guide tube.
