InkSmith Makerforge Quick Start Guide
1
MOUNT FILAMENT ROLL
Secure the included filament roll holder on
the right side of the machine and place
the filament roll on it.
Note the direction of the filament roll. The
filament line should leave the roll from the
right side. When the filament unrolls, the
roll should unwind in a counter-clockwise
direction.
Mounting the roll properly will help to
avoid extra tension on the filament feeder.

pull on its own.
