After about 16 days straight of printing on the K1C, the X rods needed lubrication after printing some ASA with the chamber sealed, the lubricant for that bearing dried up and the Axis started chattering as it was moving. I put grease on the rail. Problem want away
I'm having issue with my K1C printer. When attempting to print, I'm hearing knocking noises as the extruder moves to front right corner, but also other areas, it makes it so that my prints instead of taking up the whole bed, only uses one side. I have to power off the printer before I let the print get very far because of the loud clanking I'm hearing, I feel like it has something to do with the belt because the clicking is making the grooves in the coppery belt, shed. Any information would be greatly appreciated!
@OrionMurphy-d6h have changed firmware recently ? Also would be worth checking that the limit switch connection is still in place. It sounds like it's not registering its location and continuity past the limit zone
@@3DPUK-TECH-CHANNEL I solved my issue. I recently put on upgraded door hinges, the screws that were recommended were too long and was digging into the belt and around that area. I loosened the screw just a bit and problem solved. Please share this issue and its solution so people dont have to go through what I did!
Why are you putting grease on the X rods! They are bronze graphite bushings. The grease will make the graphite clump and cause binding. Creality DO NOT recommend greasing the x rods. Grease should only go on the Y rods and Z screws.
It's a debatable subject right now. I agree the manufacturer does state this fact.. and creality also states you do have to lubricant the x and y rods too. However I'm not sure it's the case as I clearly state this in my video. I have seen when I clean them only I have a juddering to the print head for several layers then it seems OK Thanks for watching and for adding some more clarity into this issue. It's not ideal to have a clash of advice from these companies. However with regular cleaning this shouldn't become am issue
I couldn't find any reference where Creality doesn't recommend it, unless they changed wherever they stated it. But everywhere I look, Creality recommends greasing the X Rods. Their maintenance Wiki mentions to grease it, even the picture shows the grease tube on the x rods, and when I emailed them they told me twice that part of the 300 hour runtime maintenance I should put a little grease in the middle of the rod and spread it out by moving the extruder movement.

Also, still trying to figure out this awful Resonance, I'm getting in certain locations. I printed out a frame bracket. Going to try that
You should look into printing 270° door hinges.
What does the alchol do? Don't you want a degreaser to clean off grease?
@JDccc26 you can use either what egera to hand they both work

Look at k1c creality wiki, section 6.2.1 lubrication... X must be lubricated regulary as show in official creality manual!

This is why I stated in the video this exact point.
