Ensure that you feed the filament from the
spool on the right side of the MakerBot
Replicator 2X into the filament guide tube
on the right side, and that you feed the
filament from the spool on the left into the
filament guide tube on the left. Feed the
filament through the guide tubes until it
emerges from the other end of each tube.
NOTE: To avoid filament jams, ensure that the
MakerBot ABS Filament feeds from the bottoms
of the spools toward the tops of the spools.
Ensure that the filament mounted on the right
spool holder [when viewed from the back]
unspools clockwise and that the filament mounted
on the left spool unspools counterclockwise.
