	In the extruding section, make sure Filament Length is set to 50mm. Press the ~~extrude~~ button and make sure that the filament is being pulled into the extruder gearing. 50mm at 5mm/s should take 10 seconds to complete. You may need to extrude again to make sure your filament is fed all the way through.		In the extruding section, make sure Filament Length is set to 50mm. Press the '''[Extrude]''' button and make sure that the filament is being pulled into the extruder gearing. 50mm at 5mm/s should take 10 seconds to complete. You may need to extrude again to make sure your filament is fed all the way through.

			To Unload, just bring the filament back up to melting temps, and press the '''[Retract]''' button to pull the filament back through the extruder.

	After homing, I'd recommend moving the bed away from the nozzle (so theres room to purge when loading new filament). You can click '''[+25]''' on the Z axis as shown above, and that will lower the bed by 25mm.

On the device screen, you can find the temperature settings. The hotend and bed can be preheated here. You'll need to type in the melting temp of your filament in the extruder section (for example, 220 for PLA). The hotend has to be heated up in order to feed filament through it. If swapping between types of filament, it may make more sense to preheat to 250 before feeding in a lower temp filament, to help make sure older, higher temp filament makes its way out of the hotend.

	After preheating the hotend, push your filament through the PTFE tube, into the extruder gears. Make sure the tip of your filament is straight and cut with the flush cutters at an angle.
