4. Remove Spool door by rotating it counter

clockwise, see figure 1. Remove existing

spool if one is present.

5. Thread tip of new filament through guide

tube, place spool on spool holder, replace

spool door by aligning locking tabs and

rotating clockwise, see figure 1.

6. When you place a roll of Dremel filament

into the spool holder, the printer will auto-

recognize the filament type and adjust the

printer settings to be optimized for the

filament you are using (This will bypass any

print settings loaded in your sliced file).

NOTE:

You have the option to enter

advanced printer mode to manually alter

print settings after you change filament.

Please check all settings (if manually

entered) as improper settings may cause

prints to fail or damage the equipment,

see “Filament Type and Settings” or on

digilab.dremel.com for the latest chart.

NOTE:

You also have the option to pull

print settings from the saved sliced file.

This will prevent the printer from altering

its print settings. Please check all settings

prior to printing as improper settings may

cause prints to fail, property damage, or

personal injury.

7. If changing existing filament, 3D45 will

automatically purge existing filament.

8. When Feed Filament screen appears, tap

the arrow on touch screen and thread

filament coming from guide tube into

extruder intake until filament feeds

through on its own, see figure 2.

NOTE:

Ensure the gears inside of the

extruder have properly grabbed the

filament before you finish the filament

change. You will feel a tug and see the

filament start to feed itself into the

extruder when this occurs.
