4.0 Using Robox
4.1 Loading Filament
This section explains how to load your chosen 3D printing plastic filament
into Robox® ready to produce your first print! It is designed to be a very simple
process with most functions taking place automatically.
4.1.1 Preparing the Filament
Before attempting to load filament, it is advisable to cut the end at a shallow
angle using a knife or sharp scissors to produce a sharp tip as shown below. This
will allow the filament to enter the extruder and melt chamber more easily.
4.1.2 Feeding to the Head
Simply feed the end of the filament into one of the two extruder entrances
located in the bottom-le of the reel storage dock. If only one extruder is installed
in your machine, use the top path marked ‘1’. It is much easier to perform this
operation BEFORE installing the reel into the dock.
Once the filament reaches the extruder, you will hear the motor start; at this point
continue to feed in until you feel the filament has been grabbed. Robox® will then
automatically feed the material all the way to the head.
