After turning on your 3D printer you may need to change the filament or add it. All you need to do is to go into settings, then to filament then to take out or insert and it will do as it says. But please pay attention to how hot the filament needs to be because if you go over the heat limit or under it then it will neither be too cold to melt or too hot and melt quicker than expected.

Make Something on Tinker Cad and Import It to Polarcloud

After you have changed the filament its time make your project in tinker cad which is a 3d model maker which you will need to make a account, if you are to lazy to make a art piece just go to thingiverse which has many items to make and to just download and import to tinker cad.
