A20M Printer Lubrication Needs

Post by remilton » Sun Feb 24, 2019 2:39 am

I have had my A20M for almost a month now and I have recently been wondering if there are any locations that need occasional lubrication. For instance, the Z screw may need oil or grease, but what type? Also, do the bearings or extruder and stepper motors need oiling to extend life.
Excuse my ignorance as I am a noob to 3d printers.

Hello.
:mrgreen:

You are right, that is an important matter.

But there is no point in giving the name of the oil, because in each country the same products may have a different name.
I use oil from large CNC machines for slow-running guides.

From time to time I wipe dry, all linear guides and trapezoidal screws. Then I apply a few drops of oil and move the mechanisms.
:D
