LUBRICATING THE CRAFTBOT 3D PRINTER
Power up your CraftBot once again and move the build plate to the lowest point
(“Axes” menu, home position and then go to the directional menu and press the
Z down arrow until the bed reaches the lowest point).
Turn the CraftBot printer off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Place a second clean rag on top of the heated build plate to protect the
components and Kapton from any overspray. Repeat the process for the top
side of the Z-axis rods the same as you performed on the bottom side: protective
rag behind threaded rod, spray, wipe excess lubricant on other two outside rods.
Power up the CraftBot once again and raise the build plate back up to the highest
position (set the X, Y and Z to home position).
Turn the CraftBot printer off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Wipe any excess lubricant off from the bottom side of the Z-axis rods.
Power up your CraftBot once again and move the build plate back to the lowest
point.
Turn the CraftBot printer off and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Wipe any excess lubricant off from the top side of the Z-axis rods.
Power up the CraftBot once again and raise the build plate back up to the highest
position.
Turn the CraftBot printer off and unplug it from the electrical outlet. The motors
will now disengage so that you can move the extruder freely by hand.
Use an oiled rag to lubricate the X and Y axis rods. Do not spray from above, it
is very easy to mis-spray and make a real mess! Move the extruder back and
forth by hand to both extremes of the axes. When the extruder moves absolutely
smoothly you are finished.
