Manual Feeding Unlock the extruder kit and pull out the PTFE tube.

Insert the new filament into the PTFE tube from the back, ensuring it passes through filament detection.

On the machine screen, heat the nozzle to the filament's extrusion temperature.

Feed the filament from top to bottom until it flows out of the nozzle.

Lock the extruder switch and restore the PTFE tube.

2. Semi-Automatic Feeding (Recommended) Open the motor cover and unlock the extruder.

Feed the filament from the outside until it can't be pushed further, then lock the extruder.

In the filament Loading/Unloading function interface, click on "Extrude." Observe the nozzle; if filament is extruded, wait for "Finish." If not, gently push the filament forward and then click "Extrude."

3. Automatic Filament Retraction In the filament Loading/Unloading function interface, click on "Retract."

Wait for the screen to display that the material retraction is complete. Extract the filament from the external PTFE tube of the machine.
