Loading Material Filament to the Liquefiers

If you are changing to a different material type or changing tips, follow "Changing
Material Type or Tips" on page 4-13. Loading is done automatically through that
process. If you are loading ABS blue material, see "Purging Blue Material from
Liquefier" on page 4 - 13..
After preloading material filament to the drive block, the filament must be loaded all
the way up to the liquefiers. Only one canister of each material can be loaded at a
time. Loading material to the liquefiers is done in the Idle or Paused Mode only, not
while building.
