1. Once you have calibrated your build plate,
you are going to load filament onto your
printer.
From the main info screen, click the rotary dial
and scroll down to UTILITIES. Click the dia once
more and scroll down to LOAD.
2. Your extruder will begin to heat up until it
reaches 220' C.
WARNING:
Do not touch the extruder heating
block. Doing so can cause severe burns.
3. At this point, make sure you have already
loaded a filament spool onto the spool holder.
You will want to load your filament spool
with filament unraveling towards the center
of the printer spine.
4. Once your heating block reaches 220' C,
the large gear on the drive block assembly will
begin to spin. At this point, feed the filament via
the circular entry (hole) at the bottom of the drive
block assembly. An internal filament feed gear
will engage the filament and begin to pull it
through. You will notice the filament being
guided through the clear tube in between the
drive block assembly and the extruder.
Once your filament reaches the extruder, you will
notice melted filament exiting the nozzle. Click
the rotary dial once more to finish procedure.
Your machine is now ready to print.
