Rod Cleaner Z-Axis With Logo (simple and short time to print) Single Version
★ New ★ Update ★ Rod Cleaner Set + Tool Case here is the link https://makerworld.com/de/models/99424#profileId-105992
Based on the Carbon Rods Cleaner V2 X-Axis (simple and short time to print) , I have now designed a Rod Cleaner for the Z-Axis. Again, it's Simple and short time to print.
Of course, there is also a version that is a bit smoother but takes a little longer. For those who don't need branding, there is also a version,
and of course,one with a bit of accessories, the Complete Version .
Let's get started!
2. Take a sponge and cut 2 pieces to the size of 20mm x 30mm, just like with the Carbon Rods Cleaner V2 X-Axis (simple and short time to print) , and press them into the designated openings. Now soak them with ISO
3. Let's start the cleaning!
Place the small box around the Z-Axis, hold it with your fingers, and press the desired direction on the display... the cleaning begins :-) Pay attention to the final distance of the Z-Axis Top and Bottom. Do not drive too far, as you could otherwise damage your printer.
Cleaning the rear Z-Axis is also possible without disassembling the entire printer. For this, I recommend the Rod Cleaner Z-Axis Complete Version (what a name).
4. The tweezer for the box with the spacer is very convenient. If you use this combination, you have your fingers free and can easily clean your Z-AXIS as shown in the pictures. Of course, it can also be used without a spacer.
4. After you're done, it should look like this :-)
5. After cleaning, you should grease the Z-Axis again. The included grease in the accessories should be sufficient; if not, purchase new grease.
easy to use, easy to clean
Have fun building and cleaning!
