Which Lubricant To Pick For Your 3D Printer
We have been part of 3D printing since its infancy, use our knowledge to help your 3D printing projects!
Lead Screw Lubrication
Super Lube really is the secret for lead screws.
Super Lube is great in so many ways. It doesn’t smell, it washes easily off your hands. It is not too expensive. Your lead screws will thank you. In the end it will be much cleaner to deal with than white lithium grease!
Make your lead screw life even easier with a grease gun.
Make your 3D printing grease life even easier with one of these mini handheld grease guns. No more smearing out of the container or having a messy plastic tube.
Bearing Lubrication
Clean, clear, and under control.
Just a little dab is all you need. Will be a much better oil than anything too thin like gun oil or similar. Will not smell like petroleum like other synthetic oil will.
Linear Rail Lubrication – The easy approach
Super Lube will work here too!
As recommended in places like the lubrication guide for the Bambu Lab A1. Clean and apply a little Super Lube 51004 type oil to the linear rail and slide back and forth. People will argue that this is not the best approach for linear rails, and I will cover this and the next section. However, don’t let the fear of the internet scare you, this will add a very nice slide to your linear rail axis.
