Mini - Regular Maintainance ?

Hi Guys,

Newbie here again.

I have been lucky enough to have had my Mini for about 3 weeks now and it has been used extensivly almost every day,

I have started to notice a slight change in the sounds it makes in use.

I guess i should think about some ongoing maintainance, so i have a few questions .....

First, what is a suitable product for lubricating the rods and thus the bearings ? (see the stuff in the Prusa shop, but want a suitable, easily available product)

How should i check the tension in the belts ??

Any other suggestions for periodic maintanance ??

Cheers

S

Thanks neolker

I have the manual and it tells you when the belts need tightening, but not how to do it, or how to test the tension ?
