-* to load the filament push it all the way through the tubing to the direct drive extruder, then can use the knob on the extruder to load it down to the nozzle.

+**If you have trouble inserting it into the long tube (ie. it's stuck at the golden push-connect fitting), try to rotate the filament while pushing, or try to clip the end of the filament to a point. If all else fail then can remove the tube from the fitting by pushing down on the blue collar and pulling the tubing up. Once the filament has cleared the fitting, insert it into the tubing and re-insert the tubing into the gold fitting. MAKE SURE the tubing is firmly in the fitting or else it will get pulled out and mess up filament feeding.
+* to unload, heat up the nozzle and turn the extruder knob counter-clockwise (to the left)
