Step 16 - Loading filament and priming the hot-end
**Prior to printing, the hot-end needs to have filament loaded into it, this is known as priming. For this step, it is
preferred that the nozzle of the hot end is visible, if the hot-end is in the home position (or close to the build surface)
it should be raised enough so as to be able to see filament as it comes out the tip of the nozzle.
The hot-end can be raised by going through the main options menu and selecting move axis. Moving the Z-axis up by
50mm should be enough for the purpose.

Process
16.1
Prepare the spool of PLA material to be used, remove from
packaging and find the end of the spool. Cut the end at a 45°
angle, this will help when feeding through the extruder and
Bowden tube.
16.2
While pressing in the idler tensioner arm in order to compress
the spring, feed the end of the PLA into the extruder through
the hole in the idler tensioner arm (located close to the Z-axis
lead screw). The material is to be fed between the spur gear
of the extruder and idler wheel and then into the Bowden
coupler fitting. When into the Bowden tube, continue to feed
down the tube until it reaches the end and cannot be feed in
any further.
