Lubricate the X / Y rods

A quick monthly lube of the X and Y rods keeps the toolhead gliding smoothly and prevents premature bearing wear.

You'll need

  • Bambu lubricant (or Super Lube)
  • Lint-free cloth

  1. Power off the printer

    Always. The toolhead should glide freely by hand.

  2. Wipe the rods clean

    Run a lint-free cloth along each rod to remove the old grey film. Old grit is what wears bearings out, not movement.

    Why this matters
    If the cloth comes off black, you waited too long. Aim for monthly.

  3. Apply two small drops per rod

    One near each end of each rod. Slide the toolhead back and forth a few times to spread it.

    Pro tip
    Less is more. A thick layer attracts dust and turns into a grinding paste.
