To maintain your Ultimaker 2 Go correctly and keep it running smoothly it is recommended to lubricate the axes once in
a while.
X AND Y AXES
When you notice small ridges on the surfaces of your 3D printed objects or feel that the X and Y axes are dry it is
advised to put a single drop of sewing machine oil onto the X and Y axes. This will help your Ultimaker 2 Go running
smoothly. Sewing machine oil is not included in the Ultimaker 2 Go package, but we highly recommend to only use this
for lubricating the X and Y axes.
Z TRAPEZOIDAL LEADSCREW
Once every half year the Z trapezoidal leadscrew has to be lubricated with Magnalube. This is the green grease that
was delivered with your Ultimaker 2 Go. Make sure to spread 10 drops of grease over the entire threaded rod. With your
next print the Ultimaker 2 Go will lubricate the axis itself by moving up and down.
NOTE: Magnalube should be applied to the Z trapezoidal leadscrew only; make sure to not put it on any of the other
axes.
