Installing Filament - STEP 1

Turn the power on. Open the doors. Place the filament roll inside the printer on the spool support (1). Make sure that the filament is fed from the bottom of the roll over the stand edge . Cut off any molten plastic from the tip of the filament string. Push the filament tip into the white funnel at the back wall of the printer and through the feed tube until the filament string appears close to the printhead. The filament tip will eventually stop against the feeder wheel.

Now the printer is ready for printing.

When unloading the filament, make sure to keep the filament wire tightly wound on the roll and fixate the loose end of the spool by using the holes/slots on the side of the roll. This to avoid tangling of the filament roll.

Also make sure to read up on and follow the filament handling instructions given in section Filament Handling.
