E5. Lubricating the axes
Z-Axes
X-Y-Axes
Approximately every half year the threaded rod
on the z-stage has to be lubricated. A green gre-
ase (Magnalube-G) is supplied with the Ultima-
ker Original. This grease is the lubrication which
has to be used only on the threaded Z-stage rod.
Note: the green grease should be applied as shown in the
photograph.
Make sure you spread 10 drops of grease over
the entire exposed threaded rod. With you next
print on the Ultimaker Original the Thread will
grease itself by moving up and down.
If you notice small waves in the outside surfaces
of your 3D printed objects.It is recommended to
add a single drop of sewing machine oil onto the
X and Y steel axes rods. This will improve the
smooth movement of your Ultimaker Original.
This lubrication is not included in the Ultimaker
Original package.
If you choose to lubricate the X- and Y-axes you
MUST use sewing machine oil. Apply a maxi-
mum of one droplet oil on the axis and move the
print head around to spread the oil across the
rods. Afterwards remove any excess oil.
