XY Plotter maintenance


#1

I have a mechanical question (makes a change from all the software ones :smile: )

What lubrication should be applied to the linear bearings, shafts, and rotary shaft ball-bearings? And how often? I appreciate that spraying aerosol lubricants over it would not be a wise thing, but I assume something like a PTFE-enhanced light lubricant would be a good thing for the bearings from time to time?

About lubrication, you can use grease.If you do not grease, lubricating oil can also be used.
