Make sure you unloaded the filament if required. If this is really stuck, continue to next step and cut the remains of filament. Remove the Bowden tube from the print head. Lower the print head by moving the printer to the maintenance location.
Press Macro > Maintenance
Remove the blue clip (if present) from the print head.
Press the black ring (pneufit) down with your finger and pull the tube upwards away from the print head
Cutting stuck filament
Sometimes the filament is really stuck inside the print head. In this case you want to change the print head but the filament is preventing you from a quick swap. If you have a SLA cut the filament just 5cm (2 inch) above the printhead and sent it back to the Tractus3D clean center.
Disconnect the main cable
When the bowden tube is disconnected, unscrew the silver connector of the print head from the main cable.
Disconnect the arms from the print head
Now unscrew the 3 silver screws next to the fanduct and printhead
Take out the printhead like the picture below
Installing new print head
Put back the printhead on top of the 3 holes in the effector (plate) and screw the 3 silver screws back in place.
Secure the main cable to the print head by plugging in the connector and tighten the screw fitting. Push back in the bowden tube until you can’t get in any further. Place the blue clip (if present) back under the black ring of the bowden tube. Restart the printer by turning it off and on again or pressing the STOP button on the LCD screen
