Topic: Froglube works great on the xyz
Ok, I wasn't happy with the way the travel was on the bars. The lube that came on the printer tended to be pushed across the travel and clumps. With that today I cleaned it all off and used froglube paste on a brush. I have been using this lube in its varying forms mainly on licenced firearms at a local armoury and range. However it has worked well on all sorts of stuff (rusted parts, sized locks and UPVC window mecs) that I have tested it on. On the 3d printer it works great. Resistance on the travel seems reduced and as its a none chemical lube that is also a rust inhibitor and works well in heated areas the temperature rise in the print area makes it adhere to the metal better. I just cleaned all the surfaces of the travel bars off with isopropyl alcohol wipes then brushed the frog lube on. Also as a plus side it doesn't smell like melted abs when printing as froglube is mint smelling
anyway this is the stuff
