	Before printing, make sure that the filament is the desired color that you want to print with. If it's the color you desire, then you are ready to print. If not, using the knob on the 3D printer itself, turn the knob to have it hover over filament, push the knob to select and push it again to select '''''Unload Filament'''''. You will have to wait a bit for the extruder to heat up to its required temperature for it to remove the filament from itself. You can remove the wheel of spool and insert a new wheel with your desired color. Keep in mind, you will have to select '''''Load Filament''''' and follow the on-screen instructions there.
