Figure 22: Engaging the Idler Bar Springs 

Slowly turn the large gear on the side of the extruder. Watch for the tip of the filament to come into view inside 
the feed tube at the exit of the extruder. If you feel a sharp increase in resistance to turning the gear, 

STOP

 and 

remove the filament. There may be debris in the tube or some part of the feed system has come out of alignment. 
Once you see the filament just appear in the feed tube, proceed to the next step. 

Automatic Loading

: After the filament is fed about 1.5 inches into the tube, press the control knob to tell the 

printer the filament is loaded.  After the print head is up to temperature, your F306 will automatically feed the 
filament through the tube and purge the print head.  When that is done, the F306 will turn the heaters off, and you 
are ready to print! 

IMPORTANT

: The automatic load script does not “know” where the filament is in the system.  It’s important not to 

manually feed it any further than 1-1.5 inches into the tube.  Otherwise it may attempt to feed the filament too 
quickly into the print head and damage the system. 

Manual Loading

: While the print head is heating, turn the large gear on the side of the extruder by hand to feed 

the filament through the tube to the print head.  Once the tip of the filament enters the print head you will feel 
the resistance to your turning increase.  At this point stop and wait for the print head to come up to temperature.   

Manual

: Once the print head is up to temperature, slowly turn the gear to feed the filament into the melt 

chamber.  If you are switching materials, you will see the old material extrude and gradually transition to the new 
material.  Continue to run new material through until no traces of the old remain in the plastic. 

Unloading Filament 

Automatic

: Navigate to the “prepare” menu and select the “unload filament” option. Your F306 will automatically 

heat the print head and reverse the filament out of the extruder. 

When the extruder stops turning, you can remove the springs from the idler bar and pull the filament completely 
out of the extruder.  There may be a “string” of plastic attached to the end of the filament, it is best to remove this 
intact vs. breaking it off in the feed tube.
