The guidelines apply to the maintenance of the AccuFab-CEL.
Overview
To ensure smooth and quiet movement of the Z-axis components and prevent rust on the printer rails, lubricate the lead screw when unusual noises causing printing failures occur. This reduces wear and noise, maintaining the printer's accuracy and lifespan. Follow the guidelines provided by Shining 3D to lubricate the guide rails.
Required sources
Nitrile gloves 、Long cotton swabs、Lubricating grease、Cell phone light
Before performing maintenance
Preparing the workspace
Prepare the AccuFab-CEL and a dust-free workspace for lubricating the guide rails. Prepare additional space for storing the build platform bracket and resin tank during maintenance.
Unplug the printer
Before performing maintenance, please turn off the printer and disconnect the power cable from the printer. Do not perform maintenance on the printer while the printer is connected to power.
Performing maintenance on the printer while it is plugged in increases the risk of electric shock.
Guide for Applying lubricating grease
Clean the build platform with the existing resin, and dispose of any liquid resin or contaminated items in accordance with environmental regulations.
CAUTION:
Resin may cause skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction. Wear Nitrile gloves when handling liquid resin . If it comes into contact with the skin, wash skin with plenty of soap and water.
Remove the build platform and resin tank
Put on nitrile gloves , carefully remove the build platform and resin tank in sequence, placing them aside.
Lubricate the lead screw
STEP 1: Using a long cotton swab to apply an appropriate amount of lubricating grease
STEP 2: Placing the phone light flat in the gap to view the position of the lead screw
STEP 3:Applying the lubricating grease slowly and evenly onto the lead screw
CAUTION:
During the operation, please handle with care and ensure that lubricating grease does not come into contact with the surface of the cover plate..
Reinstall the build platform and resin tank
Assemble the resin tank and build platform in sequence.
