Description

Hey!

While lubricating the Z linear rail on the A1 Mini some time ago I discovered a serious problem. The oil eventually ended in the components parts due to its viscosity and also gravity.

While I know most of the lubricating oils are not electro conductive I really don't think having the motherboard soaked in lubricating oil is anything but a dangerous situation to be in.

 

Lubrication became frustrating for me so I started to design something that would fix my problem.

I remodeled the bottom part and attached a reservoir system to it and a little bit of sponge.

 

Notes:

  • this is not endorsed by Bambu Lab, it's just my creation, in my opinion it does not imply any risks to your printer but if anything happens I am not responsible for the damages.
  • I use a little bit of sponge to guide the oil to the funnel
  • I use a syringe to take the extra lubricating oil from the reservoir
  • filament used is Bambu Lab Matte Marine Blue (11600)

this is a Brilliant idea! this should be the standard configuration for all factory printers. printed with black pla basic and came out great. fits like it's a factory part.
