6.3 Assembling the spool holder
For a better experience with the Zmorph Fab machine, it is recommended to assemble the dedicated spool holder.

components and a 2.5 mm
Allen key.
Look at the back of Zmorph
Fab. Spool holder attachment
screws are placed at the top
of the frame and highlighted
on the picture.
Loosen the frame screws with
a 2.5 mm Allen key.
Loosen the screws to the
point where you can slide the
spool holder.
Slide the spool holder in
place.
Tighten the screws.
