Ultimaker 2+ - Lubricate Z Motor Lead Screw

39
Lubricate the lead screw of the Z motor
The lead screw is connected to the Z motor and controls the movements of the Z stage. To ensure smooth movement of
the Z stage, it is recommended to periodically apply Magnalube to the lead screw.
Over time, the Magnalube may need to be reapplied to maintain consistent and accurate movement of the Z stage. Do this
once every three months. A tube of Magnalube is included in the accessory box of the Ultimaker 2+.
Lubricate the lead screw
1. Make sure that the build plate is positioned at the bottom of the Ultimaker 2+.
2. Apply a small amount of Magnalube to the lead screw of the Z motor.
3. In the Ultimaker menu, navigate to Maintenance g Advanced.
4. Select “Raise build plate” and then “Lower build plate” to move the build plate up and down to evenly distribute the
Magnalube.
