7. Insert the end of ABS filament into the Filament tube and have about an extra
10cm of filament so it protrudes from the tube.
Start the UP! Software (refer to the software install procedure in 3.1.2 if you have not
already installed it), and press the “Extrude” button in the “Maintain” dialogue box,
which is accessed from the “3D Print” menu. After the printer nozzle has warmed up
to 260°C, the printer will beep. Push the filament into the hole at the top of the
extruder head and hold it there with some gentle pressure until the extruder motor
grabs it and starts pulling it through the extrusion head. The extruder will then
automatically extrude a thin filament of material for approximately 30 seconds and
then beeps to advise extrusion is over.
8. Install the print platform. Raise the platform axis (by clicking TO in the maintain
window) to a height at which you can reach under it to insert the screws. Line up the
screw holes on the platform with the screw holes on the heater base and insert the
screws in from the bottom and tighten them.
