12 Essential Bambu Lab A1 Maintenance Steps You Must Do!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

I was following the guides in their wiki when I made this video. From what i saw it only showed lubing the top of the X rail. But in one of their short videos it actually shows lubing the bottom too. So don't forget to put a couple drops on the bottom of the x rail!

Another great video , didn't realize that I overlooked a step until after watching this . Thanks

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Thank you! What step was it?!

[@claptnei]

What about lubricating the underside of the x rail?

[@TheEdgeofTech]

You should put a couple drops underneath if you can. I just went back through their guide and it seems before it said just the top , but their little short Video shows drops on the top and bottom.

After how many hours of operation are you supposed to do this maintenance?

[@TheEdgeofTech]

It is different for each part. I would refer to the wiki that is linked in the description to get The recommended time frames for maintenance. I found in the past that it did change a little since I did another video so I didn't want to put the actual times in the video just in case it changed in the future.

After as many hours their finance department wish you to. I’ve been printing for many years and never replaced anything when I’ve been told to. Obvious maintenance is only required, anything else is marketing guff. And who buys canned air ffs.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

@paulr4279 I would agree, a electric blower is better! But I would disagree with saying you should not do maintenance. Always replace worn or old parts!

[@paulr4279]

@ yo. I never said don’t do it, Jim! Just not when I’m told to! 🤛

[@TheEdgeofTech]

@paulr4279 Haha Gotcha!

@@KrullMaestaren ohh good idea

[@Marble248]

Bambu Lab would have released a new printer by the time yours finnaly got set up :)

[@TheEdgeofTech]

@@Marble248 huh? 😂 This was the original A1 I got for my videos when it was released! So it was definitely time for maintenance.
