calibration without hindering the movement of the bridge. The procedure continues by drawing the diagonals of the rectangle and then two circles, taking about 8
minutes.
Adjusting pression force on filament
Your Sharebot XXL+ is equipped with an amortized bearing opposed to the extruder cogwheel. This solution allows to compensate irregularities in thickness that some
filaments may present, helping the dragging of it. The correct pression already regulated when you receive the printer.
If you need to adjust it, select “Change filament” from the “prepare” menu. Wait the expulsion of the filament and then insert it again. During the dragging of the filament,
try to stop it with your fingers; if the cogwheel skids upon the filament, you have to tighten more the scews of the springs until the stepper motor loses steps while you try
to stop the filament (you should hear a ping like a tak tak ). The springs have not to be tightened too much to avoid motor losses of step .

Our first 3D printing
If you followed the instructions in this manual, you have already positioned your Sharebot XXL+ and spool-holder, plugged the printer to the power point, tuned it
on, loaded the filament and checked the plate calibration. You can now proceed with your first print.
If you missed any of the steps just listed, please go back and read them before continuing.
SD card
