Getting Started

Before you can start printing on the Ultimaker 2+ Connect, you need to load material into the printer. For the first use, it is recommended to use the spools of Tough PLA that comes with the Ultimaker 2+ Connect.

Mount The Material Spool

01

Place the spool with the material on the spool holder. Make sure to put it with the material in a counter-clockwise direction, so that the material can enter the feeder from the bottom.

02

Wait for the Ultimaker 2+ to heat up the nozzle. This will ensure the material can flow through the nozzle while the printer feeds filament.

Insert Material Into Feeder

01

Insert the material into the feeder and gently push it until the material is grabbed by the feeder and is visible in the Bowden tube. Select confirm to continue.

02

Confirm when the new material extrudes from the nozzle.
