Loading the filament

Now you're ready to load the filament into the Witbox and print a test object:
Go to Control > Filament > Load. The extruder will heat up to a temperature of
1
220 °C. You can monitor the temperature increase on the LCD screen. Once the
correct temperature has been reached, the message Insert & Press will appear
(fig. 3.17).
The filament must be loaded at the rear of the Witbox via the connector attached
2
to the Fibonacci guide tube (fig. 3.18). It is very important that you position the
spool so that the loose end of the filament is on the right-hand side. Trim the end
of the filament diagonally across with a pair of scissors; this will make it easier to
guide the filament into the tube.
Feed the filament through the tube until you feel it bump against the extruder. Push
3
it in firmly to make sure it has reached the end of the tube.
