Lube?

Printer is now getting a little noisy. Can someone please advise as to where the lube points are?

Get some 3 in 1 oil, and an old rag. I get some oil on the rag and rub down the smooth rods on all axis. I also will put a few drops on the top of both lead screw holes in the x carriage ends and move the Z up then down to work it in. Some use white lithium on the lead screw. That's all I do as far as lube. The machine is not quiet by any stretch. There are things you can do to mod it and get it better though. But this will do for maintenance.

Oh, and make sure your screws and bolts are tight. They sometimes lead to noise as well as print quality issues. Some use lock tight on them to keep the vibration from getting them loose. Just choose wisely on either blue or red depending on how much work you want to do to get them off again.

 

Can I use silicon spray? I got some slip2000 lube that I use for my firearms- works amazing on the bolt carriage...would that work?
