 Before each print the printer will home, Quad gantry level and then home again.
-<del>For now when homing you must watch the printer as it lowers to the endstop (Little metal button at back right, position 202,300) as occasionally the nozzle may miss this button causing the printer to be leveled incorrectly</del>
-<del>As long as you run the extruder hot before the print starts, this is a non-issue, I will remedy this later.</del>
 **Quad gantry leveling** - The printer will sample 4 points across the bed allowing it to orient the flying gantry correctly. This may happen a few times until within tolerance.
-If layer shifts are occuring the XY belts may be loose. First check by moving the printhead to the middle of the bed, and trying to move the printhead in diagonal directions. If it does have >0.2mm play, then a belt is loose. Look at the belts on the front sides and see which moves when the printhead gets shaken diagonally, if it moves, tighten the screw on the front of the gantry until there is no longer play. If this does not resolve the problem you are tightening the wrong screw.

 There are 2 approved slicers:
-  * PrusaSlicer (__Beta 2.6.0-alpha6 ONLY__)
+  * PrusaSlicer (Minimum supported version is 2.6.0)
   * SuperSlicer (Note recent versions have been buggy)
 ==== PrusaSlicer: ====
-Please use [[https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases/tag/version_2.6.0-alpha6|this beta version]] as it is the only one which supports Klipper, which we use.
+You can find the latest version [[https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases/| here]].
 The config file can be found [[https://github.com/Jaso55555/MyVoronConfig/blob/main/PrusaSlicer_config_bundle.ini|here]].
-First, under the printer selection dropdown menu, click "Add/remove printers" -> "Add/remove presets",
+To import the presets use: "File -> Import -> Config Bundle"
-then tick the box under "Other Vendors -> Voron", then on the new Voron section check "Voron FFF -> Voron v2 Afterburner Family -> Voron v2 300mm3 -> 0.4mm nozzle"
-Then import the config file using "File -> Import -> Config Bundle"
-Do check you're using the correct profiles as seen in this image:
+==== Super Slicer (OLD) ====
-{{::voron_prusaslicer_settings_preview.png?direct&400|}}
-Do also check that the printer is connected properly. Go to the circled cog and hit test to see if it is working. If not, fill in the boxes using the settings for the superslicer setup below.

 If something has crashed, use Firmware Restart -> Restart Klipper inside the system sidebar. If this does not work try a power cycle.
+===== Common Printer Tasks =====
+==== Changing Filament ====
+  * Start by warming the nozzle via either the web interface or **Temperature > Ex0** on the built-in control panel
+    It should be set to the highest temperature of the previous material and the desired one
+PLA: 200, PETG: 230, ABS: 240
+  * Then either by using the web interface or **Filament > Unload Slow** retract the filament so it can be pulled out of the bowden tube at the back of the printer.
+Please make sure to keep the filament tight on the spool, otherwise it can cause knots. Every spool has some form of holes in it which you can thread the filament through to keep it from unwinding.
+  * Next insert the new filament and extrude via the web interface or **Filament > Load Slow**
+Keep doing this until the correct colour has been reached. Black filaments can stain the nozzle so this might need to be done a few times.
+==== Changing Nozzle ====
+The printer has been fitted with a Rapid-change revo extruder which allows quick and easy nozzle changes.\\
+We have 0.25mm (Yellow), 0.4mm (Red), 0.6mm (Blue) and 0.8mm (Green) nozzles. These are currently kept in a pink box above the voron. Extra silicon socks and hotside springs are also kept in the box if one breaks.
+  * Start by unloading the current filament and then cooling down the hotend (increasing the part cooling fan speed can help this go quicker).
+  * Then raise the printhead off the bed to allow access to the nozzle (using Move after Home).
+  * Unscrew the nozzle gently and screw in the new one.
+  * Next go into the web interface and go to **Sidebar > Config > printer.conf**
+  * At the top please comment/uncomment the correct extruder
+For example if you want the 0.25mm extruder, it should look like this:
+    # CHANGING NOZZLE/HOTEND
+    # Comment/uncomment the appropriate config to change the nozzle
+    [include revo-0.25.cfg] # Revo 0.25
+    # [include revo-0.4.cfg]  # Revo 0.4
+    # [include revo-0.6.cfg]  # Revo 0.6
+    # [include revo-0.8.cfg]  # Revo 0.8
+  * Hit **save & restart** at the top of the editor (this is not available on a phone, you need to **save** and then **restart**). **DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE IN THE CONFIG FILE**
+  * Load filament and print as normal. Do make sure your slicer is updated to the correct nozzle size.
+  * Once you're done with the different nozzle, please swap it back to the 0.4mm one.
