Lubrication of Guide Rails

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.

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.
