Nice video! I had to do the lead-screws on mine a few weeks ago.. "Super Lube 92003", huh? I'll have to try that next.. I used "MolyKote 111 [The M.K. is what I've used in my high end pcp air rifles, and swear by it 100%] Thread cleaning: A nice trick is to cut some thin fabric [microfiber or similar] into strips [like small belts] wrap a strip around a section of threads, then with 1 side of the strip in each hand, give em' a quick back n' forth, spin/repeat - done.. 👍
Greetings! Could you link the organizer that is sitting on top of the middle X1C printer? The one with the glue stick holder, flush cutters, and other tools? I'm assuming it was printed. Would love to make my own. Thanks!
I just used super lube - silicon lubricating grease on my lead screws for voron trident build and thankfully the squeaking was gone. I applied a it to a part of lead screw and just run the brass nut over it across the entire length of the screw and wiped off the excess.
@@techwithkramer It's exactly what I had about 2 hrs ago. Got a message that it's time to put some lube to work. It's been about 2 month for me since I got the Carbon, but I've printed a lot! :)
Basically, if you print something that needs to be food grade (like a planter for tomatoes 🍅) you should only use food grade materials, and this grease would be fine.
It is by definition food safe. If you want to use it as food safe is your personal preference, but my information is correct and based on facts, not personal opinion.
@@techwithkramer Lol, wrong. The base filament itself is food safe, not all coloring are food safe. The nooks and crannies between layer lines harbor bacteria after printing that a simple cleaning does not get out. If you were interested in actual facts, you would look up the studies and actual scientific tests that back this up - not safe unless coated. Id be interested in seeing these meaningless "facts" you speak of
@@techwithkramer although some materials are "generally food safe" if we are just purely looking at the main composition like PLA/PET, I have yet to come across a 3D printer filament that is certified as food safe.Furthermore, some PLAs now are enhanced with additives to improve their strength/appearance which may or may not be toxic!
Yes 3D prints can be food safe. We print nylon and TPU all the time and have also sent the finished prints to SGS for food grade certification and they have always come back positive. You need to use stainless steel nozzle for printing food grade materials. There is a food safe PLA available now as well.
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO! NEEDED A GOOD LUBE AND I FOUND IT 😄😁
Glad I could help!

Thanks for the video, was exactly what I needed, cheers Kramer!
Glad it helped!
This was helpful. Thank you!
So glad!

Yes, it was on printables but I can no longer find it anymore. So sorry….

Great stuff
Great video!
Thanks!
Hello!
How often do you put grease on the lead screws?
I do it like every 2 month, that’s when I do all the rest of the maintenance too.
Bambu Lab recommends on their maintenance site every 3 month. But you can definitely lube them more often, it wouldn't hurt. 🤩
They now have it built in the firmware so the printer tell you when it wants to be lubed! I guess it’s probably by print hours…

good video, any issues with bed flatness?
Thank you! No issues with any of my beds.
I used the PTFE stuff from super lube. Works great too! (Not at all food safe tho).
I agree, don’t eat the lube - it tastes awful. Thanks for bringing it up.
Looks like you got the superlube 92003 which contains silicone there is also 21030 without silicone I cant decide which one will be better. :(
I like the one I have, used it on all my printers and it seems to work perfectly.
can we use white lithium grease?
Not sure, sorry. 😞
Never use paper towels to do the maintenance. It leaves more gung that it cleans. Use a microfiber cloth.
Works perfectly with paper towels for me, I press it at the lead screw and move the plate up and down.
that makes no sense considering paper towels don't leave residue. Tissues or tp, another story.
🤣 just because this printer poops doesn’t mean you should use toilet paper 😂
I don’t understand what you say about the food grade on the grease.
Basically, if you print something that needs to be food grade (like a planter for tomatoes 🍅) you should only use food grade materials, and this grease would be fine.
@@techwithkramer oh I see good to know and pla is food grade too I think you said in the video?
Are you maybe swiss? Your english is great but the accent seems familliar to me 🤔 falls ja liebi Grüess us Züri 😊
Yes I am! Gruezi und Dangke vielmal.
Good work, you could grease my rod any day!
😂
Erster
Richtiger Justus
bitte nicht hier 😂😂😂😂
you put too little... you had to use the whole tube...
Lol - right, a tube per lead screw! Slather them up so you are getting a nice lube pie on the bottom when the plate comes down 🥧
shut up.
No 3d print is food safe, please dont misinform. There are too many printing kitchen gadgets and cups without knowing the consequences

It’s the brass nozzles that are not safe. They may contain lead or other contaminants.
