the material from unspooling.
Note: To avoid bending the material, tape it to the inside of the spool wall.
4.
Use wire cutters or a similar tool to trim off any filament that appears bent, as it may be difficult to load.
5.
Feed the cut end of the material through the fiber feed tube until it reaches the fiber extruder.

depending on the spool size. Follow the onscreen instructions to load fiber. As the fiber is loading, follow
steps 7 and 8 below to place your fiber spool on the spindle without letting it unravel.
7.
As the fiber feeds through the fiber extruder, put the fiber spool on the spindle such that material exits
from the bottom of the spool. Place the magnetic cap on the spindle to keep the spool in place.
