Filament won't feed past first sensor
I know this is probably a rather stupid question, but when I try to feed the filament along the side of the printer I can hear the first sensor being triggered. However the filament will not feed any further. At this point everything has been assembled but I would guess that I need to be able to access the side filament sensor to figure out why the filament won't feed. My son finished the assembly late last night. Am I going to need to pop out or break all of the nylon pop rivets in order to get to this sensor? Looking at the build instructions, that is what it looks like. Is there another way for me to try and solve the issue with being able to feed my filament?
Thanks
Michael

I was able to get the pop rivets out of the top side piece and insert the ptfe tube further into the sensor and can now feed my filament

Good to know you solved this. Just to mention it for others coming here; I find that cutting a long 'spear-point' using side-cutters helps the filament through the sensors. Especially with FLEX/TPU.
