CETUS3D PRINTER CLEAN GEAR ISO
The most popular brand of PTFE lubricant that is often used amongst the 3D printing industry is known as Super Lube, an ISO grade synthetic lubricant with multi-purpose applications. The PTFE particle containing in Super Lube adheres to any surface the oil comes into contact with. The particles helps to prevent corrosion (rust) and wear from friction. The Super Lube we use on our printers, seen here: Super Lube with PTFE, is usually quite affordable and also contains PTFE.Īnother type of lubricant often containing PTFE is Lithium Grease lubricant. Lithium grease, referred to as white lithium grease, is another lubricant commonly applied to 3D printer rods and guide rails. It is generally made with lithium soap and some other mixture of oil and additives. Silicone lubricants are a popular choice as they are readily available, non-toxic, and easy-to-use. Most silicone lubricants are silicone oils. Greases are available, but oil-based silicone lubricants are by far the most popular. The silicone lubricant by Super Lube seen here: Super Lube silicone lubricating grease, is also a good choice. While silicone is a good choice for plastic and rubber surface contacts, it can also be used for plastic or rubber on metal contact. So, whileĭepending on the exact make of the XY axles/guiderails, this lube may or may Lubricants are not, by any means, suited for metal-on-metal contact. For the Z-axis, this lubricant is simply not suited at all. Graphite powder lubricants are also suspensions, in either oil, grease or solvent bases. The most popular graphite-based lubricants are easily the dry lubricants, available in volatile solvents. Graphite further helps in the process by adding strength to the lubricated parts.
Only be used where the black coloring is not an issue, either aesthetically or Photo credit: RUIVALAĬarbon black color, as well as electrical conductivity means that it should It should be note, however, that graphite powder can penetrate plastic parts and may cause weakening in those joints of the 3D printer. Make sure that it is not used in any place with direct or indirect contact with In terms of color contamination of a part during printing. The wiring or electronic circuitry of the 3D printer. WS2 was developed by NASA to provide the best possible This is purely due to the fact that it is Lubes, and also because like graphite, this solid additive may weaken plastic While MolyD is used by some 3D printer users, it is by no meansĪ popular choice owing in part to its increased price as compared with other In all other respects, however, it is very similar to Molybdenum Disulphide (MolyD) lubricantĮlectrically conductive.
