These lubrication mistakes can seize your 3D printer
From gummy grease to dusty rails learn which parts need thin oil or thick lithium grease and why manufacturers differ.
Any machine with moving parts that touch needs some sort of lubrication to minimize the effects of friction if you don't want them grinding against each other. Apart from perhaps your car, there are probably few devices in a typical home with more moving parts than a 3D printer, so naturally you'll need to keep it lubricated if you want it to work correctly.
