¶ Toolhead Manifold Assembly
The Toolhead Manifold is used to merge multiple filament channels, enabling unified management and distribution of up to four filament paths. It is a critical component for multi-color printing on the SPARKX i7.
¶ Required Tools
Toolhead Manifold Assembly
H2.0 Hex wrench
Tweezers
¶ Procedure
¶ Safety Preparation
Turn off the power and unplug the power cable. Do not operate while powered on
Ensure the Hotend and Heated Bed have completely cooled down before operation to avoid burns
¶ Remove the Old Manifold Assembly

¶ Install the New Manifold Assembly
Prepare the new Toolhead Manifold Assembly and install it into the corresponding slot of the Extruder Front Housing Assembly. Reinstall the upper and lower filament guide parts, ensuring correct positioning of the Filament Sensor Board
Note: The manifold has a directional requirement:
The longer flange side should face the Extruder Front Housing Assembly; The shorter side should face the lower filament guide part. After installation, confirm that the lower part is fully secured
