Why Lubrication Matters
Your 3D printer has moving parts that generate friction with every single layer. Regular lubrication prevents wear on rods, bearings, and lead screws.
Where to Lubricate
Z-Axis Lead Screws
Apply lightweight grease every 50-100 hours. Wipe old grease off before applying fresh.
Linear Rods & Rails
Use PTFE-based lubricant for linear motion. Apply thin coat, then move gantry to distribute.
