Doing printer maintenance on your 3D Printer
Channel: 3D Printing stuff

Today we are doing a bunch of checks on a Original Prusa MK2, and doing some regular maintenance.
The steps we do apply to most other 3D printers as well.

What we are doing:
- First making sure there is no damage to wiring, making sure all connectors are seated properly.
- Replacing some parts: I had a broken fan, and a GoPRO mount which was broken. These have been replaced/remove
- Checking plastic parts, to make sure they are not damaged in such a way they need direct replacement. A few parts were damaged,  but they could survive till the next maintenance, so I can prepare them before doing the maintenance.
- Cleaning/Lubricating all rods

I do this kind of maintenance every few months on all my printers. Between that, I also regularly check cables/rods and stuff on any damage.
