4.2.7. Oil Leadscrews

Over time, the oil on the lead screws can become dirty. The oil can also flow down due to gravity, leaving the
lead screws dry and un-lubricated. Periodic lubrication of the lead screws will keep the printer quiet and
increase the accuracy of the Z movement. To lubricate the lead screws, follow these steps:
1. Orient the printer so that the rear of the printer is facing forward; this will give you access to the lead
screws.
2. Place a clean rag at the bottom of the lead screws and on the print bed as you apply lubrication, to
catch any excess lubricant.
3. Place a few drops of the silicone lubricant directly on the lead screw but ONLY ABOVE THE NUT.
4. The lubricant will naturally run down and lubricate the trapezoidal nut.
