CHAPTER 2. START PRINTING 34
a clip of this process:
Polar 3D support document “Loading and Unloading Fila-
ment”
Note that if you cannot seem to get the filament past the
resistance at the filament drive gear and properly engaged,
it may be that a bit of old filament has stuck, hardened
up, in the filament drive gear. (And since Polar3D print-
ers get a sample print performed at the factory – see for
instance the yellow “Benchy” boat object pictured in the
shipping box in Figure
1.1 – your new printer could have a
bit of filament hardened up in its filament drive gear.) In
this case, heat up the extruder as discussed in step
7 and
then again try inserting the filament, manually feeding it
through the filament drive gear (and perhaps pushing out
a now-melting blob of old filament).

7. Check that the filament is properly inserted and engaged
with the filament drive gear as follows:
(a) From your device (phone, tablet, computer), connect
to the printer’s local IP address to access the printer’s
local web interface . (If your local network permits
access from the Internet back to your printer’s local
IP address, you may instead conveniently access the
printer local web interface and perform such settings

When the filament feeds into the extruder and engages with the filament drive gear
cleanly in step 6 , then step 7 describes how to use the printer’s normal controls to heat up
and test extrude a bit of filament. But if you encounter difficulty getting your filament to
engage properly with the filament drive gear (
not a typical occurrence, but if this is your
first time loading filament...), be aware that it is also fine (if more “hands on”) to heat
up the extruder to filament melting temperature, and then manually push the filament
gently through the extruder: you want to see a bit of your filament emerge, melted, from
the extruder nozzle.
