CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Care and Maintenance
• Regular care and maintenance will keep your Atom 3
looking and working like new for years. Please follow these
care and maintenance guidelines for each component of
your machine.
• Clean the machine’s frame with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• Clean the glass build plate with rubbing alcohol or another
ammonia-free solvent and a soft, lint-free cloth such as
microber.
• Lubricate the magnetic control arms with PTFE or lithium
grease on at least a monthly basis. This can be done by
applying a small amount of grease onto the magnets of
the control arms which function as a lubricant reservoir.
After a few prints, wipe away any excess grease from the
ball joints with a lint-free cloth.
• The carriages have been factory calibrated to ensure many
thousands of hours of consistent, precision movement. If
after an extended period of time they seem loose or noisy,
they may require adjustment or lubrication.
• To adjust the wheel spacing,
• USE ONLY silicone lubricant on the wheels when
they seem noisy
• Use a dry brush to clean the extruder gear’s teeth when
they become clogged or when the gear starts to slip.
• Clean the LCD touchscreen display while the machine is
powered o using a soft cloth. DO NOT use any solvents
or cleaning uids on the display.
