 +====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
  
-Starting a new spool of filament+====Adjust Belt Tension==== 
 +Tightening the belt is hard, but this is the workflow that I found that worked: 
 +  - loosen up the screws on the bearing that holds the belt 
 +  - push that bearing forward so it loosens up the belt 
 +  - undo the screw that holds one side of the belt, and pull it tighter. You'll have to hold everything in place or the bed will just slide 
 +  - tighten the end of the belt down 
 +  - tighten the bearing back down 
 +  - if the belt is too tight now, loosen the end and let a little slack in until it seems good 
 + 
 +It's a lot easier to add slack back in than tighten it down.
