This guide will show you step by step how to properly load a material canister into your Stratasys Fortus 3D printer. It will help reduce the risk of losing the filament inside a canister and also make it easier to roll the wheel down when getting the material ready to load.
Pulling out a foot of material and pushing back 6 inches of material into the canister helped us reduce the risk of losing the filament inside the cartridge. Without doing this trick, you can load material, but the wheel will be more difficult to spin downwards and the filament will have a natural tendency to want to drop back into the cartridge. This trick helped us make a small task just a bit easier.
