How to change or control filament on left extruder?

Post by Joymaker » Wed May 19, 2021 11:22 pm

I recently got my A20M working, and was managing until I tried to change filament. Then I find the following:
1. I press "Change filament" and immediately it goes to a screen that says "Nozzle: E1" and in fact starts unloading extruder 1, on the right. There is nothing that I can press here to change it to E2.

2. I go to the "Move axis" screen and I am surprised to see "Extruder" rather than "Extruder 1" and "Extruder 2". And indeed, if I press "Extruder" it goes to the screen below where I see an ability to move by different distance steps, but no ability to select the other extruder! How is this handled?

Hello, if you want to replace the consumables, you only need to heat it to 200°C first, and then press the lever of the extruder with your hand to pull out the consumables. There is no need to replace the consumables from the machine.
