- Send `M603 L0 U0` to use manual loading & unloading. (Recommended)
- Send `M603 L500 U500` to use automatic loading & unloading
- Send `M603 L0 U0` to use manual loading & unloading.

- Place `M600` in your GCode at the desired layer or send it manually
- The nozzle will park
- The printer will remove the filament right up to the extruder and beep when finished
- Insert the new filament just until where the bowden tube begins
- Insert the new filament just up to the end of the bowden fitting, as shown here:

- The printer will now pull in the new filament, watch out since it might ooze quite a bit from the nozzle
