A question about regular maintenance time
What is the average maintenance schedule for properly configured system? My MK3S+ has 60-70 printing hours, is this a time for maintenance? I think a maintenance should be at least 100+hours. Or maybe this is a common issue with slide bearing?
Best Answer by Diem:
Every user builds their printer slightly differently and pre-built models are shaken up in transit so during the first few weeks of use the printer will run-in and settle its parts together; then you will have to go over the basic maintenance checks, lubricate and recalibrate. Even if you got everything dialled in perfectly today, it would all need re-doing.
Cheerio,

It suggests every 200 hours but I do mine monthly which is often around 300 - 500 hours.
A new machine needs more frequent attention until it has run in.

150 hour sounds like a reasonable maintenance time.

Cheerio,
Im interested in your take on how new machine need more attention. Do you mean configuration?
