LOADING MAKERBOT PLA FILAMENT CONTINUED
Free the end of the MakerBot PLA Filament
from the filament spool. With a pair of
scissors, cut a clean edge. Feed the end of
the MakerBot PLA Filament into the end
of the guide tube where it attaches to the
back of the MakerBot Replicator 2. Feed the
MakerBot PLA Filament through the guide
tube until it emerges from the other end of
the tube.
NOTE: To avoid filament jams, ensure that the
MakerBot PLA Filament feeds from the bottom of
the spool toward the top of the spool. Ensure that
the MakerBot PLA Filament is mounted on the le
spool holder when viewed from the back and that
it unspools counter-clockwise.
