FLASHFORGE DREAMER 3D Printer User Guide : Loading & Unloading Filament

Filament must pass through the extruder and into the heating block in order to be melted. In this user guide, we will demonstrate loading and unloading filament using the left side extruder.

LOADING & UNLOADING FILAMENT

Loading Filament

1. Remove the lid of the Dreamer 

2. From the main menu, press the right icon labeled [ Tools ].

3. Select [ Filament ] and [ Load Left ].

4. Wait for the extruder to heat up to the operating temperature. The extruder will alert you once it is at the operating temperature. Load the filament by inserting it into the extruder at an upright angle.

5. Filament will start to extrude out of the nozzle. Continue loading to ensure that the filament is extruding in a straight line. Refer to the troubleshooting section if the filament is extruding at an angle.

Unloading Filament

1. Remove the lid of the Dreamer 

2. From the main menu, press the right icon labeled [ Tools ].

3. Select [ Filament ] and [ Unload Left ].

4. Wait for the extruder to heat up to the operating temperature. The extruder will alert you once it is at the operating temperature. Unload the filament by gently guiding it out of the extruder.

CAUTION: Do not pull on the filament as it will damage the gears.
