* It is recommended to stop feeding and continue extruding until the extruder is fully empty, if the printing stops in a short term, such as 10-30 min
* It is recommended to stop feeding and continue extruding until the extruder is fully empty, then use polyethylene (PE) to clean the extruder, if the printing stop in a long term, such as several hours. It is helpful to avoid the carbonization of material and keep extruder working in a good condition
