Maintenance Tips for Successful Printing
Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2017 4:26 am
Hi. I'm new to this forum. I just purchased a MakerGear M3 ID and I'm learning 3D printing for the first time. It seems like a great printer (but with a significant learning curve).
I'd like to know what can be done in terms of maintenance to ensure the printer will work successfully over the long run. Specifically, here are some of my questions:
(1) How can you keep the nozzles clean after each print?
(2) What parts on the printer need to be lubricated on a regular basis and what lubricant is best?
(3) How should I clean the glass on the HBP so I don't ruin the polyimide coating?
Any advice, links to videos, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Andy
