<p>Have had my second Adventurer 3 now about 3 weeks.  Used all of the red filament that comes with it but when I go to load new FlashForge filament in the unit, I can't even get it to suck up the filament.  I just get a grinding sound like something is majorly wrong.  Any ideas please?  The filament will not even make it to the extruder.</p>
