INSTALLING PRINTER COMPONENTS
Universal Filament Spool Holders
To assemble the Filament Spool
Holders, you will need the
following items from your
Accessories Package:!
1. Spool Holder Arms (4 pieces) with M4-12mm bolts
and washers!
2. Universal Spool Holder Adaptors (4 pieces)!
3. M4-10 mm bolt!
4. 3mm Hex Key!
5. Combination 7mm wrench#
$Facing the front of the printer, you will see how each Spool Holder Arm is numbered. !
You will notice that each of the Spool Holder Arms is labeled on each piece corresponding to
where it should go on the printer frame. Each Spool Holder Arm also has the correct bolts,
nuts and washers already included with each piece. Just unscrew them from the piece and
assemble them onto the printer frame using your 3mm hex key.!

Installing the Universal Spool Holders
1. Position the Spool Holder Arm in its correct position -
corresponding the labels on the spool holder to the labels on the
printer frame). !
2. Insert the 3Mx12mm screws and washers into the hole. !
3. Using your 3mm hex key, screw in clockwise. Use a 20-25 in-lb
torque for each screw. !
4. Repeat for Spool Holder Arms #1, 2, and 4. !
Note that Spool Holder Arm #3 attaches to the back panel of the printer. It requires a shorter
10mm screw, washer and bolt which is included with the spool arm.
1. Hold Spool Holder Arm #3 in position and insert
the 12 mm screw and washer on the top surface
to hold the arm in place.!
2. Position the arm over the hole on the back panel
and insert the 10 mm screw and washer into the
hole and secure with a 3mm hex key.!
3. Secure the top screw by attaching a nut and
washer on the underside of the top panel of the
printer. !
4. Using the 7mm side of the combination wrench,
hold the bolt and secure the screw using the 3mm
hex key. !
Universal Spool Holder Adaptors
We created the Universal Spool Holder Adaptors so that your spool of filament, heavy or
light, can easily rotate as the printer is printing by reducing the stress caused by pulling of
the filament by the filament drive teeth. !
They can fit most filament spools and can easily be adapted to other spools on the market.
They use the preload of the spool arms to hold the spool in place which makes it that much
faster and easier to exchange filament spools. Adjust the drag of the spool feed by adjusting
the torque of the universal spool holder adaptor bolt. !

Installing the Universal Spool Holder Adaptors
1. Insert one Universal Spool Holder
Adaptor into your filament spool and
insert the Adaptor into one of the Spool
Holder Arms. !
Note that the Spool Holder Arms are quite
flexible and will bend to allow for easy
installation.
!
2. Hold the filament spool in place and
insert the second Spool Holder Adaptor
into the other Spool Holder Arm with the
bearing and bolt sliding through the slot
on the inside of the arm. !
3. Push the adapter down until you hear a
click. !
If you find that if your spool is not compatible with our Universal Spool Holder Adaptors.
Send us the measurements of your spool and we can send back a modified .stl file which you
can print and use for your spool.

Inserting Filament into Extruder
Once you have installed the Spool Holder Arms and Adaptors, you are now ready to insert
your filament into the extruder.!
1. Squeeze the drive lock door to the
extruder and turn the drive door lock
knob counterclockwise to open the
filament drive door. From here you can
also view the filament gear teeth. !
!
2. Trim your filament tip to make sure its
straight. Preheat the extruder to the
extrusion temperature of your filament.!
!
3. Make sure your extruder is heated to the
extrusion temperature of the filament you
are using. Insert your filament through
the top of the extruder while holding the
filament drive door open. You should be
able to feed the filament through the
extruder and see filament being extruded
from the heated nozzle. !
4. Close the filament drive door and turn
the drive door lock knob clockwise until
tight.!
