+I know, this video showing the MK3 procedure is so 2022. Don't panic, the **MK4/CORE One** interface is even easier to use.
+In the main menu, just go to Filament. You can then unload the filament if necessary, or just Load filament if the printer is empty.
+The next steps are basically the same. Just follow the printer's instructions and be sure to purge one or two times.
+On CORE One: There is a first sensor on the side of the printer. That can be hard to insert filament here so don't forget to cut the tip with a sharp angle to help you.
+Easy!
+----
+And remember, the filament will give better results if it's dry!
+So please, put back your spool in the drying cabinet after printing, while being careful not to create tangles when handling the filament.
