7.0 Calibration and Maintenance
7.2.8 Lubrication
In order to keep your Robox® in top working condition, it is essential that you
keep all of the motion system lubricated - including the Z drive screws and linear
rails. This must be performed at regular intervals (approximately 200 hours of
printing). There is a bottle of axis lubricant included in the accessories box which
shipped with your Robox® - if this is not available, a light mineral oil would be
suitable e.g. sewing machine oil.
To complete this process follow the instructions below:
1. Home all axes using AutoMaker™.
2. Apply a thin smear of lubricant to the X-Rails. The easiest way to ensure the
lubricant is distributed across the rails is to apply it on either side of the linear
bearings for the X (head) and Y (bed) carriage, and to the drive nuts for the Z
axis. If you then run a speed test, this will distribute the lubricant over all axes.
