First question.
Emil or Mark how often should you lube the Solus and what are you using to lube it. I would guess that there are 3 lube locations. White lithium grease?

Re: Solus maintenance thread
Mark,
Not often at all. Unless you print 24 hours a day, then you will need to apply more lubricant to the shaft maybe every 6 months. Clean it well first.
For the bearings, you would have to remove the arm to apply the grease on the inside of the bearings. Just putting it on the shafts won't do it.
But like I said, there is plenty of lubricant on there. If you start seeing lines, you can move the shaft up and down full motion for about 10-15 times to self lubricate the bearings.
