Bambu Lab recommends using “WD40 Multi-Use Product” for relubricating X and Y rails. This product comes in a pressurized spray can. Has anyone attempted this? I’ve found many YouTube videos of lubrication process, but none where someone is trying to spray about 5 linear feet of rail with a pressu…

not something I have used for this but if I did I would spray it on a cloth first and wipe it on. This is a flamable product so I wonder if they say the same for the H2D laser (seems like beam may reflect inside chamber) or if they have a recomended wait period?

I have used WD-40 spray with the straw. It goes exactly where you put the straw. Just give it a push or two and run the device up and down. Easy peasy.

Having used it myself for hundreds of other applications, I can say that even with the straw, the dispersal pattern is significantly larger than the rail area. It may go “exactly” there, but it also goes for a couple inches around it, and splatters everything beyond/behind a small surface as well. …

I bought a nail polish bottle with an included little brush, emptied and cleaned completely with acetone. Then I sprayed the WD-40 Multiuse in it. Now I have a fully controlled oil applicator.

That definitely sounds like it would work. I’m just wondering what BBL’s intended method was… We shouldn’t have to do all that, obviously. And it’s telling that no one on YouTube is using this spray application (I’d love to see a video of someone doing so successfully!) and BBL tutorials haven’t …

there is always the gallon option on Amazon for 30.00 US. Thing is, these ads say original formula multi-use and claim it is good for lubrication. Original WD-40 is not for lubricating, it is for “water displacement” (WD) and the can doesn’t even mention lubrication. There are WD-40 products that d…

Yeah I’ve noticed most pros seem to be using a silicone-based oil, which is probably what the original Bambu oil was.

I use “sewing machine oil” because I happen to have a bottle of the stuff. But any lightweight lubricating oil will work. Apply a few drops to a rail, on either side of the “carriage” that rides on the rail, and then move the head back and forth to spread the oil out.

[image] Lubricant Grease Maker's Supply I’m sure it’s some type of PTFE or PFPE lube. I wouldn’t use anything with silicone because silicone can cause galling which can cause jamming. Krtox is a brand name but there are a lot out there that are reasonable in price. Ligh…

You can just spray it all into a plastic bottle(mess control) and then pour it into a mason jar for long term storage. In industrial settings, lots of lubes come in gallon or 1.6L unpressurized bottles. Probably something a print farm would invest in, and amounts to a lifetime supply for anyone els…
