Unloading Filament
You can unload filament in four simple steps:
1. Push the silver tension lever all the way to the left. This will release toolhead's tension, allowing for filament to be removed from the toolhead.
2. Remove the guide tube by pressing down on the black ring and pulling up on the tube.
3. Pull on filament, and it should slide out easily. Feed it back up through the guide tube and respool it onto the roll.
4. From the dehydrator, pull the filament from the guide tube until you can safely remove the filament spool from the dehydrator. Secure the loose filament end into the side of the spool.

Note: Always have a firm grip on the loose filament end as you're removing it from the kiosk/dehydrator. Letting go of the loose filament end will result in tangled filament.

Loading Filament
1. Insert the filament roll on the left or right side according to the above chart.
2. Cut filament end at a 45 degree angle so it is pointed at the end.
3. Feed the filament down into the guide tube until it comes out the other side.

4. Click on the temperature to the right of Extruder (left toolhead) or Extruder 1 (Right Toolhead).
5. Type in the temperature according to the above chart.
6. Click the check mark, and then click X.


After the toolhead has heated up...
7. With the tension set to 0 clicks (all the way left), insert the filament into the top of the toolhead.
8. After filament is inserted, set the tension to the appropriate click.
9. Insert the guide tube back into the top of the toolhead so it locks in place.
Tension Clicks
Left: 0 clicks Middle: 1 Click Right: 2 Clicks




Note: If the Filament isn't extruding, give the filament a brief tug.
- If the filament pops out, flip the silver tension lever to the left (step 4), and push the filament a slight bit deeper than before.
- Afterwards, flip the silver lever to the right and attempt to lightly pull the filament out. It should remain firmly within the toolhead.
