A few steps to keep the MakerBot running smoothly and continously.

Improvements

  • Add blue thread-lock to all grubscrews on all the axis to prevent them to fall out [1]
  • Use Triflow or similar PTFE lubricant to all metal-to-metal mechanical motion [2]
  • Replace the system fan with a large 80x80 mm fan to reduce noise
  • Add a adhesive label on the right side of the joy-pad to indicate the insertion point for the SD card
  • Remove the ABS residue from the drive gear regularly [3]
