Initializing
Do not set the main switch to ON before the three connectors are firmly connected
to the extruder!
The light up of the LEDs at the bottom of the extruder indicate that the extruder is
successfully connected.
After retooling the extruder, calibrate the z offset for T0 and T1.

8.3. Replacing the Hotend
Introduction
To replace the hotend, the extruder must first be removed before replacing the
hotend itself.
Always wait until the extruder has cooled down before replacing it!
Important
The nozzle is firmly connected to the hotend and may not be replaced separately!
Required tools
› 2 mm and 2.5 mm hex keys
Preparation
1. Let the extruder cool down before retooling.
2. Remove the extruder as described in & Chap. 8.2 Replacing the Extruder.
Hotend Replacement Step-by-Step
1. Remove the cover of the extruder using a
screw, and secondly the front screw (see Fig. 8-9).
2. Loosen both screws from the clamp (m) holding the hotend in position. (Fig 8-10)
3. Disconnect the red cable (see Fig. 8-8) by gently pulling apart the two ends of
the black connector.
4. Unplug the green connector gently (Fig. 8-11)
5. Release the hotend.
Mounting the Hotend
1. Locate the new hotend back into position. When doing so, try to keep the ho-
tend parallel to the other one, as shown on the pictures.
2. Tighten the clamp screws (m).
3. Plug in the green and black connector.
4. Locate the cover back into its position and tighten the cover screws.
Notice that the distance between both nozzles may change after the replacement
of one of them. Calibrate X, Y and Z before next print. & Chap. 7.2
