Hardware Setup Feeding to the Head Simply feed the end of the filament into one of the two extruder entrances located in the bottom-left of the reel storage dock. If only one extruder is installed in your machine, use the top path marked ‘1’. It is much easier to perform this operation BEFORE installing the reel into the dock. Once the filament reaches the extruder, you will hear the motor start; at this point continue to feed in until you feel the filament has been grabbed.
