Re-lubricate the carbon rods & lead screw

Deep lubrication of carbon rods and the lead screw removes gritty buildup and keeps the P2S running whisper-quiet for months.

You'll need

  • Super Lube grease
  • PTFE oil
  • Lint-free cloth

  1. Power down, then move axes by hand

    Move the toolhead and gantry to the front-right corner to expose the back of the rods.

  2. Wipe everything down

    Old grease + carbon dust = the gritty stuff that destroys bearings. Clean it all off first.

  3. Grease the lead screw

    A pea-sized blob of Super Lube smeared along the lead screw. Cycle the Z axis up and down via the screen to spread it.

  4. Oil the carbon rods

    Two drops of PTFE oil per rod, slide the toolhead/gantry along its full range a few times.

    Pro tip
    Don't mix oil and grease on the same part. Pick one type per surface.
