Remove the hotend cover of the machine by hand diagonally upward. Note that the cover is magnetically attached without screws.

 

 

 

 Remove two fixing screws on the right side of the extruder

 

Move the hotend to the leftmost of the X-axis, use the L-shaped wrench to unscrew two fixing screws to the left. Note that the middle screw does not need to be loosened

 

 

 Remove one fixing screw on the left side of the extruder

 

Move the hotend to the rightmost part of the X-axis, use the L-shaped wrench to unscrew one fixing screw to the right.

 

 

 

 

 Unplug the extrusion assembly control wire & PTFE tube

 

Press the plug of the pneumatic connector, then pull out the Teflon tube

 

 

 

Gently pull out the control wire of the extrusion assembly, be careful not to break the terminal

 

 

 Unplug the control wire of the extruder motor

 

Gently pull out the extrusion assembly, be careful not to break the connecting cable
