8. Loading the filament into the Extruder
Click on the menu "3DPrint" -> "Maintenance" -> "Extrude". The printer extruder will now start
to heat. (Takes approximately 10mins)
After the printer nozzle has warmed up to 260°C, the printer will beep.
Cut the end of the filament flat then push the filament into the hole at the top of the extruder
head and push the filament in with some gentle pressure until the extruder motor grabs it and starts
pulling it through the extrusion head. The extruder will then automatically extrude a thin filament
of material. After the printer beeps a second time (meaning the extrusion process is complete), pull
away the piece of extruded plastic.
