How to Apply Polyester-Based Grease:

1. Clean the Parts First: Make sure to clean off any old grease, dust, or filament residue from the printer’s moving components.
2. Apply Sparingly: Use a small amount of grease to avoid excess, which can attract dirt and debris. A thin, even layer is usually enough to ensure smooth operation.
3. Check Regularly: Regularly inspect and reapply the grease, especially on components like lead screws or bearings where the lubricant can wear out with use.

Things to Keep in Mind:

• Compatibility: Polyester-based greases are generally safe with most metals, but you should always check that your specific printer’s materials (especially plastics) are compatible.
• Viscosity: Polyester greases can be available in different viscosities. For most 3D printers, a medium-viscosity grease should work best to ensure that the grease stays in place while still offering sufficient lubrication.
• Storage: Since polyester greases can be sensitive to extreme moisture, make sure the grease is applied in a clean, dry environment and stored properly to maintain its performance.

By using the right polyester grease, you can help ensure that your 3D printer runs smoothly with minimal friction, wear, and maintenance for an extended period.
