Working with the Materials Page
type can be loaded/unloaded at a time (i.e. a model and support spool cannot be loaded/
unloaded simultaneously). Filament pathways can appear in the following states (color usage,
highlighting, and descriptions apply to both model and support):
Icon State
Empty
Insert Filament
Unloaded
Loading
Loaded
Unloading
Table 11: Filament Pathway States
• Indicates that a material spool is not loaded in the corresponding material
bay, the material bay is empty.
• After installing a material spool into the corresponding material bay, the
filament pathway will refresh and indicate that filament needs to be inserted
into the drive mechanism.
• Indicates that a valid material spool has been inserted into the
corresponding material bay, but the spool's filament has not been detected
by the filament present switch.
• After advancing filament far enough into the drive mechanism for it to
contact the filament present switch, the filament pathway will refresh and
display in its unloaded state.
Indicates that filament from the corresponding material spool has been
advanced and is in contact with the filament present switch, but material from
the spool is not loaded to the head.
• Indicates that filament from the corresponding material spool is in the
process of being loaded to the head.
• The pathway between the Material Status Icon and the Head Status Icon
will fill, in blue, in the direction that the material spool's filament is traveling
(towards the head).
• Once the load process is complete, the filament pathway will refresh and
display in its loaded state.
Indicates that filament from the corresponding material spool is loaded to the
head and is selected to be used for building.
• Indicates that filament from the corresponding material spool is in the
process of being unloaded from the head. A yellow notification badge will
also be displayed within the center of the corresponding Material Status
Icon.
• The pathway between the Material Status Icon and the Head Status Icon
will fill, in yellow, in the direction that the material spool's filament is
traveling (away from the head).
• Once fully unloaded, the filament pathway will remain in this state until the
corresponding material spool is removed from the material bay. Once the
spool is removed, the filament pathway will refresh and display in its empty
state.
