Finished section on finishing a print, and starting and stopping prints
==== Finishing A Print ====
==== Finishing A Print ====
When the print completes successfully, the Prusa will delightfully present the print by moving the print bed forward, and the extruder will go back to the homing location. On the menu screen it will display how long the last print took, and the other normal settings like the temperature of the print bed and nozzle. To get the print off of the bed, take the magnetic steel bed off and bend it just slightly to pop the brim of the print off of the bed. From there you can take the print off carefully by hand.
If the print was successful, congratulations! If not, time to diagnose the problem and try again.
Put the magnetic bed back onto the Prusa, and if there are no more prints needing to be done, power it off.
==== Loading New Filament ====
When the printer runs out of filament, typically you'll want to find a shop aid to help you change the filament. All you need to do is go to the menu, select the "Unload Filament" option, and the printer should start heating up. Once it heats up, it'll unload the filament and you can pull it out of the extruder.
As for loading new filament, find the option in the menu labelled "Autoload Filament", and the printer will walk you through the instructions for loading the new spool of filament.
==== Pausing or Stopping a Print ====
To pause a print in the middle of the job, press the knob and it'll pull up a printing menu. There are two options near the bottom, "Stop Print" and "Pause Print". If the print is failing, you definitely want to stop it. If you need to change filament or think you can save the print before it fails anymore, you can pause the print.
