¶ Operation guide
After printing for a longer period of time, the Filament Cutter needs to be replaced. Here's how to do it.
¶ 1. Remove the extruder cover
Please remove the front cover of the extruder(Front Housing Assembly).
¶ 2. Unscrew the lever
Carefully loosen the screw from the lever, as shown in the image below. This will allow the lever to open up further and will grant you access to the Filament Cutter.
When unscrewing the filament cutter retention screw, you should keep the Filament Cutter pressed.
This ensures you can remove the screw completely, to avoid damaging the plastic section of the extruder.
Ensure that you are using the flat end of the hex tool to avoid damaging the filament cutter screw.
If the screw is damaged, you might need to replace the filament cutter lever which contains a replacement screw.
¶ 3. Remove the old Filament Cutter
With the lever loosened, we are able to access the Filament Cutter and remove it.
¶ 4. Install the new Filament Cutter
Installing a new Filament Cutter is easy, and it's done by aligning the small blade tabs in the lever, then inserting it into the extruder.
¶ 5. Tighten the lever screw
Finally, tighten the lever screw, to ensure it is stopping at the correct location as below.
¶ 6. Attach the front cover
With the Filament Cutter replaced, simply ensure that the wiring is correctly managed, and put the Front Housing Assembly back on the extruder.
