Cleaning the nozzle with a "cold pull"

Link!

I (Maxim) tried this method and I can verify that it works with PLA.
My first cold pull

Belts

It is not advised to use oil on belts. Someone said that oil degrades the life span of rubber belts.

Linear rails

I have sprayed my rails with a silicone based lubricant and it has been working great.

Diagonal rod ends

It is advised that you lubricate the ball joints on the ends of your diagonal rods. If you don't they will wear out.
After a while of use you will hear a squeaky sound, if you do that's the balls being ground by the holders. This means there's already a deadline.

Lube lube lube!

You can use some silicone based lube for example.
