Loading filament

·        turn on the printer

·        place spool with filament on the black spool holder that’s situated on the back of the printer

·        Important: The material hast to point in clockwise position so it can enter the feeder from the bottom.

·        Unroll a bit of material, straighten it and push it into the feeder lightly.

·        If the material is in far enough the feeder will grab it. -> stop pushing

·        Afterwards the Ultimaker heats up the print core an loads the material into the print head.

·        After a little while the new filament should be extruded from the nozzle.

 

·        Wait for the printer to cool down again.
