Extrude: Squeezes material out of the nozzle. Click on this button, and the
nozzle is heated. When the temperature is high enough (260°C), the material
is squeezed out of the nozzle. The system beeps before material starts
extruding, and it beeps again when finished. When changing the material (See
section 6), this function is used to deliver the new material to the nozzle. This
function can also be used to test whether the nozzle is working correctly.
Withdraw: Withdraws the material from the extrusion head. When the material
runs out, or the nozzle needs to be changed, click this button. When the nozzle is
up to temperature (260°C) and beeps, gently pull out the material. If the material
gets stuck, pull it out it by hand.
