MAINTENANCE
Feed Mechanism
After a lot of printing, the gear in the feed mechanism can accumulate small plastic
particles. Clean the feed mechanism by blowing compressed air into the gear on the front
or by using a brush.
Lubricating the Z Axis
The Z-axis threaded rod should be lubricated every six
months using a Teflon® grease, such as Magnalube-G. Place
10 drops of grease evenly along the length of the threaded
rod, then raise and lower the platform to spread the
lubrication.
Lubricating the X and Y Axes
If you notice small wavers in the outside surfaces of your
prints, you should lubricate the X-axis and Y-axis guide rods,
using sewing machine oil. Add a single drop of sewing
machine oil to each guide rod, then move the extruder
through the full motion in the X and Y axes. Remove any
excess oil to prevent dust accumulation.
