Prepare SD Card

Put your .gcode file on an SD card. If you have a MicroSD card slot available but don't have a SD card slot, there are SD card to MicroSD card adapters available at MCI.

??? Image goes here: The smaller MicroSD card fits in side of the slot of the SD card adapter.

Prepare filament

Removing existing filament

When removing filament from the machine, put it in a vacuum sealed plastic bag with two blue desiccant bags so that it stays dry. The bags have a pattern on them that allows air to flow even if the two sides of the plastic are in contact.

When the desiccant balls have turned purple they will be less effective at absorbing moisture and should be thrown out. When the bags are no longer able to hold a vacuum within them, they should be thrown out.
