180 Day Service?
Howdo,
I've put ~180 days print time on my Prusa MK3s and it's starting to creak and groan a bit when it's running. I've just managed to block the nozzle too so will be giving it some TLC this weekend and figured it may be time to give it a bit of a service.
Does anyone have any tips on things to check or replace? It's been rock solid so over than replacing the nozzle when I've blocked it in the past I've not had to do any maintenance on it.
Thanks,
Keegan
Maintenance items
I typically wipe the smooth rods clean, and apply a little topical lubricant
I use Prusa Lubricant which is White Lithium grease.
then I move the X and Y carriages across the grease a number of times, then repeat a couple of times by hand.
then I use the LCD knob to move the Z axis up and down a couple of times.
here are some guides.
