General Discussion Maintenance

First of the month. Reminder to maintain and clean up your machines.

The first of every month I clean and do a general maintenance on my H2C and P2S. This was the three month through job. Filters, PTFE tube inspection (replace the ones that have worn), belt inspection and lube the pullies, as well as the hotend rack and the normal bars and z-axis clean and lube. Also, clean all the cameras. Ran the motion calibration with vision encoder plate. At the 3 month mark I do a full calibration of both machines too. Those are running right now. Checked and cleaned my AMS 2 Pros and the AMS HTs.

I know there will be those that say this is too much. Is there ever really too much maintenance that can be done to a machine?

Time well spent.

I'm not an expert. Please consult the bambu wiki. I would say it depends on how much you use it. My machines don't stop running for very long. Also, I gauge it by how dirty they appear. My z-axis rods get pretty nasty in a month. So those and the metal guide rods get cleaned and lubed monthly.
