SETTING UP YOUR MAKERBOT REPLICATOR 2X

Mounting the Filament Spool
7
7a. Open the box containing your starter
spool of MakerBot ABS Filament. Remove
the spool from its plastic bag.
7b. Mount the spool on the left spool
holder [when viewed from the back of the
Replicator 2X]. Orient the spool so that it will
unwind counterclockwise. Push the spool
onto the spool holder until it locks. Do not
let the filament uncoil or tangle as you load
the spool onto the back of the MakerBot
Replicator 2X.
NOTE: If a spool unwinds in the wrong direction, just
turn it around. Spools are designed so that they can
be installed on either side.

Installing the Enclosure Lid
8a. Locate the box containing the acrylic
enclosure lid. The enclosure lid is shipped
in a separate box and is not included in the
same box as your MakerBot Replicator 2X.
8b. Unpack the enclosure lid and place it
over your MakerBot Replicator 2X so that
it covers the top of the frame, the extruder
cable, and the filament guide tubes. The
small indentations at the corners of the lid
should line up with the bolt heads on the top
of the MakerBot Replicator 2X's frame.
