To manually load the
filament, set the filament
temperature using the
Viki controls (Prepare
> Preheat PLA/ABS, or
Control > Temperature >
set custom temperature).
Free the filament tube
from the push to connect
by pushing down on
the collar. After heating
is complete, push the
extruder tensioner open
and feed the filament
through until it comes out
of the nozzle.
To load the filament
using the Viki, navigate
to Prepare > Change
Filament, and follow the
prompts. After the hot
ends completes heating,
turn the Viki wheel
clockwise to extrude until
the filament starts coming
out of the nozzle. The
filament has to sit right
between the drive gear
and idler bearing, or the
extruder will not be able
to pull the filament!
