STEP 8: Home the printer so you can reach
the bottom where the filament has to be fed
through. To do this, select the home icon on
your screen and press the button to start hom-
ing.
STEP 9: Make sure your nozzles are preheated
to at least 180 degrees Celsius. Place your role
of filament in the bottom of the printer. Start
feeding the filament through the hole.
STEP 10: Once you reach the filament drive
unit, pull out the quick release knob on the
back, and feed the filament through further
until they reach the printer head.
TIP: If you have problems with
feeding your filament, there is a
possibility that your filament has
trouble to pass the filament guiding
tubes connection. Take the top connections out
by turning them counter-clockwise. Manually
feed some filament while pulling the quick re-
lease knob, and put the connections back. Put
the filament guiding tubes back in place.
STEP 11: On your screen, select the filament
icon and push the button.
STEP 12: Select your extruder and press "Load".
After a few seconds, filament should be flowing
out of the extruder. Remove the printed fila-
ment once the extrusion is finished.
NOTE: Do not touch the bed or the tip of the extruder with your fingers, this is very hot.
STEP 13: To go back to the main menu turn the button counter-clockwise.
1.6. Checking and adjusting the bed
Each Creatr HS is carefully calibrated before it leaves Leapfrog 3D Printers' headquarters. How-
ever, during transport, calibration might get shifted. Calibration means that your extruder is at the
correct distance from the bed to print smoothly, and that your bed is exactly levelled. Here is ex-
plained how you can slightly adjust the calibration during printing. If a full recalibration is neces-
sary, the steps described in Chapter 3.9 should be followed.
