    How is the material held/supported? How is it fed into the printer? Does anyone have a video of the printer showing the material being used?

    I have seen in different vidoes the filament coming off of a spool placed right next to the printer out of a box next to the printer sitting on the floor. The head is powered and does pull the filament from the sources, whatever they maybe so as long as it is not locked down or snagged on something it should be fine. If you look on YouTube under 3d printers I think you should be able to find something where you can see the source.

    We are working on producing a filament spool holder that attaches to the side of the printer. We can let you know when we get the first prototype made.
