8.4.2.1 Loading filament
Refer to Figure B.1 an d especially to Figur e 8.5.
1. Take the spool of filament and hook it onto the spoo l holder.
2. Fin d the end of the st ri n g of filament.
3. If the end of the string of filament is blobby or thin (some-
thing to check if this spool has been previously used, so that
the filament end got a bit melted previously) or kinked (e.g.,
from being pinched in the spool holder) , consider snipp i n g
the end o↵ – perhaps snip an inch or two o↵ – so that you
have a “clean” end to feed into the printer.
