IV. LOADING / UNLOADING FILAMENT
It is important to remember that the INVENT3D printer is only compatible with 1.75mm PLA.
Loading Filament
1.
Place the spool on the spool holder. Each filament spool has one side where the center is cut
deeper; this side should be facing the printer to ensure that the spool seats correctly on the
holder and that material does not get trapped behind the spool and impair printing.
2.
Locate the end of the filament and cut away any bent or twisted filament from the end.
3.
Feed filament through the filament guide (accommodates filament wound clockwise or
counter-clockwise) so that it is coming off spool on the side that the filament is feeding.
4.
Run filament through guide tube.
5.
Insert filament into filament drive guide hole.
6.
Turn on printer, go to
