Remove the Extruded Plastic

Wait a few minutes for the extruded ABS plastic

to cool, then pull it away from the right extruder

nozzle. You can discard this extra plastic.

CAUTION: Do not touch the nozzle;

it may still be hot.

Don’t leave plastic clinging to the extruder

nozzles. This can cause newly extruded plastic

to stick to the nozzles instead of the build plate.

NOTE: If you have problems or need to load

MakerBot Filament again, you can use the up and

down arrows to scroll through the top-level menu

on the LCD panel and use the M button to select

Utilities. Scroll to Change Filament and select it.

Then select Load Right or Load Le. You can use

these menus to return to the load scripts at any time.
