¶ Maintanence
¶ Parts wear or faults are unavoidable during its long service. We advise that regular maintenance will reduce the wear and increase the life of the printer.
- The z-axis lead screws should be checked and greased every three months. If the printer is used frequently, once a month is ok. The first step before greasing the z-axis lead screws would be to clean them of any dust or plastic particles. The next step is to use lubricating grease and apply a thin coat over the lead screws. With the bed homed, apply a thin coat of lubricating grease then move the bed to a lower position. Apply another thin coat of grease on the z-axis lead screws and home the printer again. You can repeat the movement process a few times, to ensure the grease is evenly spread out over the z-axis lead screws. When complete, simply clean out any excess grease that builds up close to the leadscrew nuts.
- X/Y axis linear rail. The bearings are greased from factory, and they cannot be greased without removing them from the linear rails.Please grease the rails every three months.
- There are many fans that should be regularly checked for any dust and debris build-up. The nozzle fan, model cooling turbo fan, circulation fan and the bottom fan. They should be regularly checked for debris or dust buildup to ensure a smooth operation and long life. With the printer off, we recommend using a can of compressed air. While keeping the fan blades in place, use the compressed air to blow air over the blades and clean any dust or debris.
