+====Usage Notes====
+  * The extruder head may not pull hard enough on filament to allow it to feed properly if the filament is wound too tightly on the spool, such as when starting a brand new spool of filament.  Make sure the filament is not wound so tightly that it won't unspool when the printer is printing.
+====Change Extruder Head====
+**Note:** If you do not follow these steps, it will result in the printer not homing correctly, and can damage the print bed or extruder head.
+  - Remove filament, as per filament change instructions.
+  - Remove connector cable.
+  - Remove small hex screw at the top of the extruder head.
+  - Replace extruder head, replace screw, replace connector cable.
+  - In Cura, go to Machine > Machine Settings. Top right there is an option to "Change Tool Head"
+    - Select the appropriate extruder head (either "Single Extruder" or "Flexystruder").
+  - Go to Machine > Install Default Firmware
+  - Good to go
