Chapter 3: Q&A Q1. How to solve if the nozzle is clogged? Method 1: Tap [Preheat], heat up the extruder to 200℃, after heating completed, press the air tube joint and pull out the filament guide tube. Check to see whether the filament is bended or filament tip is not smooth, cut filament tip smooth and flat, install the guide tube and filament back, Tap [Load] .

ADVENTERUR 3 ADVENTERUR 3 Yes, ADVENTURER 3 interface is open up to all other cloud platforms. Q14. Is the ABS printing safe? ABS filament will give off certain poisonous gas when heated up, please put the printer in well ventilated condition when printing ABS. We suggest printing non-toxic PLA filament when printer is used in children activity places.
