Loadingthelament

Now you’re ready to load the lament into the Witbox and print a test object.

1. Go to Control > Filament > Load. The

extruder will heat itself to a temperature

of 220°C. You can monitor the

temperature increases on the LCD

screen. Once the correct temperature has

been reached, the message Insert &

Press.

2. The lament is loaded at the rear of the

Witbox via the bulkhead connector,

which is attached to the Fibonacci guide

tube. It is very important that you position

the spool with the loose end of the

lament on the right-hand side. Trim the

end of the lament diagonally across with

a pair of scissors, to make it easier to

guide into the tube.

3. Feed the lament through the tube until you feel it bump against the extruder.

Push it in rmly to make sure it has reached the end of the tube.

4. Press the control wheel. After a few

seconds, a small stream of melted plastic

will appear in the extruder nozzle. Each

time you press the wheel, plastic will be

extruded for a few seconds.

Caution! High temperature.
