How to avoid wear and tear
Frequent use of the Witbox may cause dirt and debris such as dust, lubricant residue,
etc. to accumulate on the X- and Y-axis guide rails and on the Z-axis spindle.
These accumulations can cause excessive friction in the printer’s movements, resulting
in noise and printing errors. To prevent this from happening we recommend that you
take the following steps to keep your printer in optimum condition:
1
Switch off the printer entirely; i.e. with the switch in the “0” position and the power
cable unplugged from the mains.
2
If the printer has recently been used, allow it to cool down.
3
Using a dry cloth, clean the X- and Y-axis guide rails and the Z-axis spindle.
4
Lubricate the rails and spindle with lubricating oil. Use a cloth, in order to avoid
staining any other components.
5
Move the carriage along the X and Y axes in order to spread the lubricating oil
across the whole of the surface.
