Loading and Unloading Filament
First, remove the filament guide tube from the extruder head.
If you just finished your printing or feeding the filament and want to withdraw the filament, at
this moment, the extruder is still over 200 degrees. First, push the filament in a little, and then
directly pull it out.
To avoid any blockages during printing, please ensure that the two threads are loaded from the
middle. One spool should be mounted so it turns clockwise and the other one should run
counter -‐ clockwise, as shown below:
There are two ways of feeding the filament into the extruder head, one is using the LCD screen
on the printer itself and the other is by using the control panel on the Replicator G software.
