THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING THE VIKI 2.0 INSTALLATION
RETROFIT KIT FROM re:3D Inc.®!
REFERENCES & HELPFUL DOCUMENTS :
VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS :
This upgrade will let you replace your old Viki LCD with the newer Viki 2.0 LCD. You will find
that this is especially helpful for using and controlling your Gigabot® without connecting
to a computer. Unlike its predecessor, the Viki 2.0 also sports a new black faceplate and
provides better visual indication of print conditions with new features like a dual-color LED
ring around the knob.
Some external resources may be helpful during the assembly process. For example,
knowing the correct names for dierent parts on the Gigabot®, or proper use of certain
tools. Resources that we thought may be helpful have been linked to at the end of this
guide.

BEFORE YOU BUILD
it’s hip to be square!
the uses of grease
When assembling the
Gigabot®, it is essential to
work on a flat surface and to
carefully square perpendicular
parts as much as possible.
This is especially important
while assembling the side
plates, Z-axis uprights and
vertical common rails, bed
frame, upper and lower cross
rails, and bridge assembly.
Use large clamps to help
square up frames if needed.
Make good use of grease
during assembly. These
will help hold the eccentric
spacers when installing the
V-groove wheels and also
keep them from damaging
the side plates or end trucks
during adjustment. Likewise,
it will ensure smooth, quiet
operation when applied the
the Z-axis ACME threaded
rods.

t-nuts, how do they work?
Measuring and marking
T-nuts are an essential part
of assembling the Gigabot®.
These are inserted into the
aluminum extrusion in order
to fasten parts to the frame.
Post assembly T-nuts are
also used. These hold their
positions well without sliding
around, and are useful when
installing retrofits.
There are parts of the
instructions that suggest
marking spots on the
Gigabot® to properly place
parts. When marking, be sure
to only use a pencil--using a
permanent marker will leave
unsightly marks on the metal!
