Changing Filament


To change filament on the LulzBot, first open the Cura LulzBot application, and navigate to the monitor tab.

Click the Connect button and wait a few seconds. Eventually the box at the top will read Connected to Printer.

Once that happens move back to the right menu. Click the Pre-Heat buttons on the Hot End section only.

Then wait until the larger black number changes to match the smaller grey number.

Now scroll down to the Manual Printer Control section.

Change the number in Extrude Amount to 100, then hit the Retract button. Then gently pull upwards on the filament.

To load filament, use the same process as above, but set the number to 80 instead of 100 and hit the Extrude button while gently pushing the filament in.
