Two Spoolholder types

In this chapter, we will assemble the spoolholders, but before we proceed, note there are two types of the spoolholder.

Inspect the box your kit came in. If the large portion of the box is occupied by the rectangular black trays, you have the first version, the older vacuum-formed spoolholders.

1. Classic vacuum-formed spoolholder

If you have this version, continue to the following step Vacuum formed holder parts preparation
2. New injection-molded spoolholder
This version comes in five packages inside a smaller box. If you have this version, skip to Injection molded spoolholder: parts preparation

Attach the rods with bearings into the base part so that the bearings engage into the corresponding grooves on the base.
There is a notch on the front part of the spoolholder.
Attach the PTFE holder onto the notched front part of the spoolholder.
Repeat the same steps to build the remaining spool holders until you finish all five.

There are protrusions on each side of the Guide part.

Using these protrusions, the Guide parts can be joined together. To join them together, simply tilt in the Guide parts one into the other until the protrusions click in.
The Guides can be joined together in form of a straight line.
Or, if you flip one of the Guides around, they can be joined in an arc pattern. This is handy to form an arc of spool holders around the Buffer so that each filament path is as straight as possible.
