In the US this can be found at any Lowe’s hardware store.
PLEASE DO NOT USE “lithium grease” from a can such as Liquid Wrench lubricants. These contain
solvents and will attack and damage the plastic components in your F410.
USE OF OTHER LUBRICANTS MAY VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
12.12.2 Lubrication Interval
With heavy use you should re-lubricate the Z axis roughly once per quarter. With less frequent use, you
may only need to re-lubricate when you notice noise or chatter from the Z axis when it’s in motion.
12.12.3 How to Lubricate
1. Use a dry paper towel to remove the old dirty grease from the leadscrews and guide rods. DO
NOT use a solvent to remove the old grease.
2. Apply a bead of fresh grease to the length of the running surface. On the guide rods, it can help
to distribute this bead with your fingers.
3. Run the Z axis up and down a couple times to distribute the grease.
4. Wipe any excess grease that accumulated at the ends of the travel length.
12.13 Removing & Installing the Extruder
We recommend unloading filament before removing the extruder.
Printer must be powered off.
12.13.1 Removal
Use the 2.5mm wrench from your toolkit to remove the 2 M3 screws that hold the feed tube clamp in
place. Remove the screws completely, then lift the tube clamp up and towards the back of the printer.
