Topic: Hello from Tug in the new forest, Hampshire

Just to say Hi, I'm not new to 3D printing only to this machine that so far has given me a very big headache, first off they sent the wrong assembly instructions and had to replace them with a refund of £11 which softened the blow somewhat, I'm not struggling with flow and extrusion of filament, I'm sure it's me but can anyone tell me how you extrude the new material once you have removed the old. I am trying to change from PLA to ABS same dia material just different temps ?
all I get is Extruded Off.
anyway am hoping to get to know a few peeps on here.

definitely need to know what machine in order to help you properly.

generally speaking, when swapping between materials, the heater should be set to the higher of the two materials - in this case the ABS temps and manually extrude until the new material is flowing cleanly and smoothly.

I am sorry for not saying before it's the Anet-A8-T not expensive but seems to be doing the job. apart from this one option that does not seem to want to work.

Use caution and prudence my friend . That is the machine that is famous or infamous for thermal runaways and burning down shops. It seems the cheap components used in these machines tend to trigger the safety protocals in marling. Sooo the company turned them off.
MAke sure you get a good copy of the firmware review it and make sure all safety protocols are turned on then load this into your machine.
