When installing a filament spool into the filament chamber, the spool must be oriented correctly to avoid friction. The spool should be installed such that the filament unrolls from the top, as shown in the picture below.
Using the filament change procedure becomes necessary when:
- Changing from an empty spool to a new spool
- Adding a spool to a printer with no filament
- Removing filament from a printer
