The filament chamber serves as a place to keep the filament used by the printer ready and at the same time to keep the condition of the filament stable.
When the filament chamber is supplied with power, a red light in the chamber switches on.
WARNINGIf the power supply is disconnected (power button on the back (OFF/0) or the cable has been removed), make sure that the filament is removed from the filament chamber and stored in a dry and warm (min. room temperature) environment.
