Loading materials
Before you can start printing on the Ultimaker 3, you need to load materials into the printer. Material 2 will be loaded first,
because this is the material that must be placed closest to the back side of the printer.
Loading material 2
1. Place the spool with the material on the spool holder. Make sure to put it with the material in clockwise direction, so
that the material can enter feeder 2 from the bottom. Straighten the material a bit so it can easily enter the feeder.
2. Wait until the Ultimaker 3 has detected the material (when using Ultimaker material).
3. Insert the end of the material into feeder 2 and gently push it until the material is grabbed by the feeder and is visible
in the bowden tube.
4. Wait for the Ultimaker 3 to heat up print core 2 and to load the material into the print head.
5. Confirm when the new material extrudes from the print head.
6. Wait a moment for print core 2 to cool down.
