Hi,
When I purchased my A1, I got grease in the box for the rails.
I woud like to know:
- How often you grease rails ?
- Where to purchase new package of grease and where is the best price for EU person ?
thx
You’re talking about grease. Careful, there’s grease and oil! Grease is not for the rails! I quote the wiki:
Friendly reminder: The accessory box provides two types of lubricants, one is lubricant oil, and the other is lubricant grease. The packaging may vary depending on the batch, so please refer to the actual packaging you received. Here is an introduction to their respective applications:
Purposes of Lubricant Oil: Used for X-axis linear rail, Y-axis guide rail, and eliminating noise from idler wheels.
Purposes of Lubricant Grease: Used for lubricating lead screws and extruder wheels. Please note that it is strictly prohibited to use lubricating grease on the X-axis linear rail.
You can get both at any hardware store and sometimes even at the grocery store. It’s best to check out the wiki, which gives tips on what else you can use.
Otherwise, you can also find many topics on this subject here in the forum.

At the latest, when the printer prompts you on the display, you should do it.
