Dear Sharebot operator, we are thrilled that you have chosen to side in the fore-
front of this new industrial revolution. As with any new technology, the pioneers
like yourself are the ones who’ll drive true innovations. Your new Sharebot 3D
printer will make you free to create all the objects you can imagine. The new de-
sign of this Sharebot’s printer incorporates all the experience gained from previ-
ous models of Sharebot 3D printers and we’re extremely proud of this new model.
Your input will help us to constantly improve Sharebot 3D printers and it will
innovation so please share your experiences on www. kiwi3dworld.com
We look forward to see what you build!

3 | Assembling the base
The screws can become loose due to shock and vibration: to avoid spontaneous
loosening of the screws it is recommended that you put brakes on all screws threads
between the threaded couplings. Tip: Loctite 221-brakes low-resistance threaded for
remember you each time where to apply this trick. For the lubrication of worm of the
Z axis, bearings and guides we recommend the use of vaseline oil or sewing machine
oil. The ShareBot Kiwi-3D assembly Kit, is an advanced kit and requires good manual
dexterity skills and ability to tin solder for a correct assembly.

O-rings. The O-rings are usuful to dampen engine vibrations. Insert the screws in
the positions 2 and 4 on the side of the rubber pin, now in the other side of the tray
insert on the screws the two o-rings and then approaches the Z engine and secure
it with the two screws then tighten doing attention that the two o-rings remained
under the engine, it is important to tighten the two screws with the same force.
Parades the bar cover and unscrew the brass bushing from the nut screw Z.

Take the X lead carriers tag, if you think is necessary clean the tag’s hole with sand-
paper, it could be a residual that does not permit the perfect joint. Using two screws
-
arriving on the abutment foil, you can do this operation by pushing to laterally the
second tag with a screwdriver while you are verifying that the system doesn’t move.
