    The correct saying is “if it slides you oil it, if it rotates you grease it”.

    "Would you spend 20, 30, 50 thousand on a car and not change the oil?"  Collective snort of laughter from mechanics can be heard in the Sahara.

    Best quote for oil I have heard was from James May of Top Gear fame. “Oil should be felt, but not seen.” Good advice.

    For oil i use rem oil wipes<br><br>It puts a nice light coat on and cleans the rods at the same time

    well the oil part was alright, but the rest was just kind of a list of things you dont need

    If you use butter your shop will smell like popcorn when you print hot!

    If you got a Costco, they sell a box called Grab a Rag, not a lot of people know but they are microfiber cloths that come in a 120 count box for $22. I use them exclusively for everything! Highly recommend. Great video Brother!

    Here&apos;s my experience. My Flashforge Creator 3 is used in a dry, enclosed environment. 20,000 hours of print jobs done in 4 years. I decided it&apos;s probably better to run it dry. The lubricant makes dust stick to it and does more damage. Never tightened a single bolt or belt, and the machine is still tight and print like new.
