LUBRICATING THE CRAFTBOT 3D PRINTER

Here are the correct and complete step-by-step lubrication instructions on how to
properly service your CraftBot 3D printer. Follow the steps accordingly and don't
cut any corners. The CraftBot should be lubricated at least once after every 50
hours of use. If you encounter any problems that exist outside of a maintenance
issue, do not attempt to operate your printer. If something sounds or appears to
be wrong then turn off your CraftBot and unplug it from the power source and get
ahold of the professionals (us). We will gladly help you out.

So, lets get this thing oiled up and working like it should!
Some things that you will need before lubricating your CraftBot 3D printer: A
PTFE based spray lubricant or grease, 2 separate lint-free rags or thicker stronger
paper towels, personal protection such as gloves and safety glasses/goggles, the
necessary lighting to see the interior of the CraftBot correctly (lamp).
*Never, ever reach into your CraftBot printer while it is turned on or plugged in,
if you do so you will run the risk of serious crushing and pinching injuries, and
also severe burns. Always turn off your printer and unplug it "just to be sure".
Make sure that you are servicing a "cold" unit. That extruder and heated build
plate get very, very hot. Please allow the CraftBot 3D printer at least 5 minutes to
cool down after it has been turned off and disconnected before reaching into the
cavity to service.
