Load / Change Filament if neccessary - Careful not to entangle the filament!!
- To change or unload the filament select the matching option from the menu
- very gently apply some pull to the filament and you will feel that the filament is actually pulled for extraction first and after some seconds it is ejected
- Once the filament is eject apply some more pullign force
