Loading filament
1.
Unpack the filament.

Please take notice of what
sort of filament you are
loading. PLA and ABS
use different printing
settings.

Make sure the tip of the
filament you want to insert
is smooth. You can shape
it into a tip with a pair of
pliers to make insertion
easier. You can find a
drawing of how to shape
the filament on the next
page.
4.
Insert the filament through
the hole in the top of the
extruder assembly. Be
careful !
5.
Grab the filament clamp
on top of the extruder and
pinch it with two fingers.
6.
Do not put to much force
on the extruder assembly
or the X-axis.
7.
Slide the filament between
the filament gear and the
bushing.
8.
Push it downwards
towards the blue hole in
the extruder head.
